Easy Coconut Lip Balm Recipe

This coconut lip balm helps keep your lips smooth and soft.   It is very easy to make too!



  • I only use Organic Virgin Coconut Oil because organic is free of chemicals and pesticides.

  • You must use virgin coconut oil as this is the only type of coconut oil that has a coconut flavor.

You will like it if you like your lip balm to be a little bit glossy and have a natural coconut flavor.

You will need:

1/2 tsp. Beeswax
1 tsp. Organic Virgin Coconut Oil
1 Vitamin E capsule
Lip balm tube (it can be a previously used one, that you have washed out)
Small funnel (that will fit in a lip balm tube)


Directions:

  1. Place the coconut oil and beeswax in a small glass or bowl.

  2. Place the glass in a double boiler and bring the water to a boil - wait until the wax is completely melted - it should not take long.  This method will retain the healthy coconut oil properties. Alternatively, use a glass or small bowl and microwave the oil and wax for about 1 minute until the wax is completely melted.

  3. Use a safety pin and prick the Vitamin E pill and squeeze it into the oil and wax mixture and stir it in.

  4. Using the funnel, pour the liquid lip balm into your lip balm tube and let it cool.
Recipe is for 1 tube of lip balm.
