Have you ever made your own lip balm? I think you'll enjoy how simple this recipe is & you might feel inspired to give it a try. Once you have your ingredients collected this recipe takes 5 minutes! The addition of beet root powder is so fun and elevates it just a touch, which I love!

YOU'LL NEED:

  • A double boiler

  • spoon

  • 1 ounce tin or glass container with lid

INGREDIENTS:

  • 2 teaspoons organic solid coconut oil

  • 2 teaspoons organic cocoa butter

  • 1 teaspoon organic beeswax

  • 2-3 drops peppermint essential oil

  • 1 drop cedarwood essential oil

  • 1/2 teaspoon organic beet root powder (optional, for tinting)

HOW TO:

  1. In a double boiler over low heat, combine the coconut oil, cocoa butter & beeswax until melted

  2. Remove from heat and continue stirring. When the mixture begins to cool, it will begin to thicken and the color will turn milky; at this time, add the essential oils & beet powder (if using) and continue stirring.

  3. Pour the mixture into the container and let cool without the lid. Allow the balm to cool for 6-8 hours or overnight before covering! Covering it too soon results in condensation which prevents the balm from drying correctly.

  4. Apply with fingertips

Add a fun label or piece of washi tape for added flair!
