Say goodby to dry lips! Learn how to make your own lip balm with this easy recipe that will nourish your lips with coconut oil, honey, and essential oils! Homemade lip balm was one of the first homemade beauty products that I made and I haven’t purchased lip balm since I started making it myself!

Ingredients

  2. Measure the coconut oil, sweet almond oil, and beeswax and pour them into a double boiler pot.

  4. Remove from the pan from heat and stir in the raw honey (if using), and your favorite essential oils.
  5. Pour the mixture into the upright tubes (or lip balm tin).
  6. Allow the lip balm to set and then cap the containers.
  7. This recipe will fill 8-12 lip balm tubes.

Notes

*I love adding raw honey to my lip balm and have done so many times. Unfortunately, some readers have said that the honey sunk to the bottom of their containers. You may leave it out completely if you do not wish to use it. This lip balm is still very good without it.Â
