Now let’s get started!
LIP BALM RECIPE INGREDIENTS
NATURAL EMULSIFIER – 25 %
2 tbs of organic beeswax
Oil phase – 75 %
4 tbs of organic virgin non refined coconut oil
2 tbs organic castor oil
Essential oils
Optional 15 drops of organic peppermint essential oil
Containers
You can buy plastic lip balm containers on mountain rose herbs or amazon.com. If you live in canada, go to amazon.ca; you will avoid hefty customs fees that way!
Step 1 Gather all the ingredients and add the beeswax, castor oil and coconut oil in a double boiler on low heat. You will need 6 to 8 lip balm containers for this recipe.
If you do not have a double boiler, you can use an aluminum boil placed in a pan filled with warm water.
Step 2 Once all the ingredients are melted, add the essential oil if desired and mix well.
Step 3 Pour the liquid wax in the lip balm containers and fill them to the top. If it has already starting to harden, don’t panic! Put it back into the double boiler for a few seconds until it melts again and pour the rest in the lip balm containers.
Step 4 Wait one hour or two until the wax starts to harden then you can use the lip balm right away! If it is a hot day, you can pop the lip balm containers in the fridge so the lip balms harden more quickly.
Voilà, you have made your own coconut oil lip balm recipe right in your kitchen, how fun and easy was that?!
Yield: 6 to 8 lips balm containers.
PS: if you wonder how to clean the mess in the double boiler, the easiest way is to wipe the reminding oil inside the pan with a paper towel, then it will be much easier to wash as most of the grease is gone. (you’re welcome!)

We make many of our own products, but have never tried to make our own lip balm. I never knew it was so easy to make!! That is the thing about making your own products, it is so much easier to make most of them then you could ever imagine!! Sharing with my followers!! Thanks for sharing on Inspire Me Monday. Have a wonderful week!
That is true, and as a huge bonus, you know exactly what is in it.
It’s obvious people with HIV/AIDS or CANCER are being enslaved to the antiviral and other supplementary Orthodox medicine just to help suppress the virus and not a cure. I have been with the virus for 4 years when I was introduced by a blogger who also narrated Her story online on how she was cured of using Dr Okosun Herbal Medicine. I took the same step to also get cured of HIV/AIDS, I made an order from DR Okosun Herbal Medicine and after taking it for 4 weeks with a test result I was confirmed HIV FREE. I have promised to keep telling the world about this. i recommend Dr Okosun herbs to y’all.
