This DIY is going to blow your mind. Not in that it’s so amazingly genius, (well except it kind of is). But how that it is so stinkin’ simple and easy. Soooo very easy and will save you some cash-o-lah, too.

These make fabulous gifts to give someone else or just to keep for yourself. I did both because they are too yummy to pass up completely!

What am I talking about?? All-natural DIY lip balm using essential oils.

Using just three simple ingredients and a couple of minutes of your time, you can have homemade, all-natural lip balms to give away as gifts or keep for yourself. LOVE these as stocking stuffers or a gift anytime "just because." | TheTurquoiseHome.com

LOVE them!!

I wanted to try several different flavors and while I like them all, my favorite is hands down the Cinna-mint flavor. Miss A loves lip balm (or “lip gloss” as she refers to it) as much as I do, so I gave her the lavender lip balm. She loves having her own “makeup” and I know that it doesn’t have harmful ingredients in it. Win-win!

This cinna-mint flavored lip-balm is so yummy!!

All-Natural Lip Balm Recipe

2.5 T. Coconut Oil
1.5 T. Beeswax (from Amazon)
12 drops of Young Living Essential Oil (I used, Citrus Fresh, Peppermint, Cinnamon Bark/Peppermint and Lavender.)
10 empty Lip Balm Containers (also on Amazon)

Combine beeswax and coconut oil in a glass or ceramic microwave-safe bowl. (Or you can heat over the stove in a double boiler.) Mix in your Young Living Essential Oils.

Fill your lip balm containers and let them cool until set.

I used my kid’s medicine dropper to fill those little tubes. I’ve heard some people say that they use a pourable glass container for heating their oils and beeswax and then pour directly into the lip balm container. But I wasn’t sure mine would work out so well or if the oils would be all over the floor. So, I just sucked some up in the medicine dropper and squirted it into the lip balm tube. It worked great! You’ll just need to work quickly, because the mixture tended to cool quicker once it was out of the hot glass bowl.

And then you let them set. Don’t give in to the temptation to touch the tops to see if they are set, because nobody wants your dirty fingers all over their lip balm! 🙂 Seriously, it’ll mess up the pretty sheen on top if you touch it.

The sky’s the limit with these lip balms, because you can make any combination of flavor that you can think of! A couple of years ago my sister-in-law made me some lip balm with cocoa butter and orange essential oil and it is amazing! I’ll try that next time, for sure!

UPDATED: Per your request, I’ve uploaded the labels for you to print out and use on your own lip balm containers. I printed mine on sticker paper from Silhouette, but you can use full-sheet label paper or just print them on regular printer paper and stick them on with tape or spray adhesive. (These labels are for personal use only!!)

      I’m confused. So 12 drops for 10 tubes worth – let’s say I’m doing just the Cinnamon Bark/Peppermint? Then I would have to repeat the same amount of materials +12 drops of let’s say citrus fresh to do another 10 tubes? Since I’m one person I was thinking of only doing five tubes of one flavor and five tubes of another so I was trying to figure out how to split it all. Any comments appreciated.
