How to make easy lip balms with 4 ingredients! #tutorial #diy

September 11, 2015 by bargainhound Leave a Comment



lip balms 1

It’s been a while since I did a DIY post & video, so here’s a new one!  This one is a tutorial on how to make your own lip balms with just 4 ingredients.  And it’s SO easy!  With the holidays coming up, these make great gifts & stocking stuffers!

lipbalm1

Ingredients you will need:

  • 2 oz Beeswax
  • 2 oz. Shea Butter
  • 2 oz. Coconut Oil
  • 16 drops of your choice of essential oil  (I prefer orange, vanilla or peppermint)

Other supplies you will need:

  • Container to melt your ingredients in
  • A few spoons
  • Pipettes (optional, but they make it easier for me)
  • Digital scale, preferably with a “tare” function
  • Lip Balm Tubes and/or screw cap containers
  • Labels, optional

Just add all your ingredients and melt them down.  A double boiler is preferred (safest method) but I use my electric burner.   You just need to melt them down, you do not need to get them to a high temperature.  You may also want to try melting them in the microwave in a microwave-safe container, but I have never tried that method.

Once your ingredients are melted, remove from heat, and add 16 drops of your favorite essential oil.  I prefer orange, peppermint or vanilla.   Then stir again.

Now just transfer them into your tubes & containers.  (If you have pipettes, this job is super easy and no mess!)  I also like to place my tubes banned together with a rubberband, in bunches of 10 – this keeps them from falling over and spilling.

Then just let them cool, which typically only takes 15-30 minutes.  Place the caps on them, label them if you want, and you are all set.  You can give them away as gifts, keep the for yourself, or do whatever you want to do with them!   Enjoy!

About Me…

As a young girl, I would help my mom cut and organize coupons, and help her shop. As a kid, it was like a game. I watched her organize and mail in tons of rebates and watched her stockpiles grow.
Now as an adult, I follow in her footsteps. I love to coupon, save money, mail in rebates, and find deals wherever I can! And sometimes, the best money saving deals are in the form of DIY projects that you can do with your own two hands!
I hope to inspire my readers to help them stretch their own pennies into dollars using all sorts of money saving tips and tricks! I have lots to share, including recipes, giveaways, sweepstakes, product reviews and more!
Won't you join me on my money-saving journey?
