Homemade Lip Balm and Lip Scrub

Lip Balm is so expensive and you never know what’s in it. This is so simple! Here is what you’ll need.

1 ounce beeswax (3 TBSP)

I bought 1 ounce beeswax blocks so this makes it easy to measure the exact amount.
1 ounce coconut oil (2 TBSP)

1/2 ounce shea butter (1 TBSP)

1/2 ounce cocoa butter (1 TBSP)

20 drops Peppermint essential oil

10 drops Lavender essential oil

Line up empty containers on counter. You can get them for about 3 cents a pot online.

Measure all butters and oils in a heat proof measuring cup.

Fill a large skillet with 1.5 inches of water. Bring to a boil. Add the measuring cup to skillet. Stir until melted. The beeswax will take the longest.

Once all wax and butters are melted, remove from heat and let sit for 3 minutes to cool a bit.
Add essential oils. I use the very BEST essential oils because my family and friends are worth it.

Pour mixture into containers.

You can almost use it right away because it won’t take any time to cool.
I was able to get 16 full containers of lip balm from this recipe.

Next the lip scrub. It’s nice to use this once or twice a week to keep your lips moist and free of dry skin.

Here is what you’ll need.
8 teaspoons brown sugar
6 teaspoons coconut oil
6 teaspoons honey
4 drops Peppermint essential oil
4 drops Orange essential oil

Mix all these ingredients together until smooth and fully combined. Next - fill the same sized container with the scrub. You’ll get eight pots of scrub out of this recipe.

If you are planning to give these as gifts you can give two balms with one scrub (since you’ll only use the scrub once or twice a week)
