I love making homemade beauty products! There are so many fun things you can make that area all-natural, easy and cost way less than they do in the store. At first, it feels a little overwhelming but once you make one, you will realize just how easy it really is.
Today I’m sharing my favorite tinted lip balm recipe. It takes no more than 5 minutes to make! I love this recipe so much and it makes a fantastic little DIY gift. (affiliates included)
5-Minute DIY Tinted Lip Balm
To get started, here is what you’ll need:
- A small lip balm container
- 2 tbsp of Beeswax
- 1 tbsp of Coconut Oil
- 1 tbsp of Grapeseed Oil
- Lipstick
- 4 drops of Essential Oils
If you have a double broiler you will need that as well. If not, you can do what I do which is to use a small sauce pan and a glass bowl.
Heat water in your saucepan – you don’t want it to start boiling, so just watch it so it doesn’t pour over. Put the beeswax, coconut oil and grapeseed oil in the glass bowl and sit it right on top of the sauce pan.
For color, grab a tube of lipstick and shave off a tiny amount with a butter knife. The amount you want depends on the color you want. I had a very bright pink shade and so I used very little.
Melt all of it together and once you turn the heat off, add in four drops of the essential oils you want to use. I used Lavender because I just love the scent. If you would like the smell stronger then use more oils, I prefer it to be really subtle.
Let it cool and you’re all done! This makes about 12 pods. If you like the traditional chapstick tubes better, those work well also.
New to Essential Oils?
Ha! Me too…awhile ago.
It can be overwhelming with so many oils & choices.
This exclusive package {available for a limited time} gives you everything you need to get started and the information you need to know what to do!
As a Young Living Independent distributor, I started with their AMAZING starter kit & then added a few things I thought you might like…
…like a super huge essential oil information manual. I use mine ALL THE TIME. It is a place you can look up information about each oil individually or find information by looking up the problem you want to solve.
…like an Amazon gift card for $20! You can use it for additional resources or accessories OR just whatever you want!
…like membership in our group’s private FB community. This is a great place to ask questions, get suggestions and find out how other people are using their essential oils. As part of my team, you can also choose other groups like our business building or blogging communities as well.
