We are sharing the recipe for making beeswax, honey lip balm. Ensure that you are not allergic to the ingredients mentioned.
Preparing lip balm: It is extremely simple to make natural beeswax lip balm.
Ingredients:
- 4 tablespoon raw beeswax
- 3 tablespoon organic coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon raw/natural honey
- 5-6 drops of essential oil
- Lip balm container- you can use an old lip balm container or tiny glass jar.
Procedure:
Melt beeswax and coconut oil in a double boiler. To the melted beeswax and coconut oil add raw honey and mix it thoroughly. Depending on the flavor that you prefer add 5-6 drops of essential oil and mix all of this well.
Keep it away from the heat and mix it continuously. Take out a bit of it and let it cool and later check for the texture – see if it’s fine.
If you find the texture to be fine then pour it into a lip balm container and keep it to solidify completely before using.
Note:
Just in case the texture is hard, there is too much beeswax. If the mixture looks mushy, then it has too much oil. The shelf life of beeswax honey lip balm is about 1 year. These above-mentioned ingredients add up to 6-7 (40 grams) containers.
