Homemade Lip Balm

These lip balms make a great gift or stocking stuffer. It’s all natural ingredients and smells amazing. Just follow the easy step-by-step instructions below.

Materials: 1 teaspoon almond oil, 1 teaspoon cocoa butter, 1 teaspoon shea butter, 1 vitamin E capsule, 8 drops of grapefruit oil (or other oil of your choice), pot with boiling water, coffee cup, teaspoon for mixing, and lip balm tins (found at craft stores). Maybe some scrubs in case of splashing.

Note: Makes enough for about a 1/2 oz tin.

Step One: I added all of my ingredients to my coffee cup.

Step Two: I took a small pot and boiled some water.

Step Three: Once the water began boiling, I set the coffee cup inside of the pot. This causes the ingredients in the cup to become hot and melt.

Step Four: Once my ingredients were melted (about one minute), I pour the liquid into my tin.

Step Five: Put lid on tin and put in fridge. I wait until morning before taking it out to ensure it has hardened.
