DIY Lip Balm - vegan vs beeswax - recipes for both
/If you DIY your bath and beauty products you can control what goes on/in your body! This lip balm was super easy, I think getting the double boiler and all the containers was harder.
Here are the recipes
Vegan Lip Balm
3 tbs coconut oil
2 tbs cocoa butter
2 tbs candelilla wax
3-ish drops of vitamin E oil
Melt in a double boiler, pour into a container with a small spout. Fill lip balm containers.
Beeswax Lip Balm
2 tbs cocoa butter
2 tbs beeswax
1 tbs + 1 tsp coconut oil
3-ish drops of vitamin E oil
Melt in a double boiler, pour into a container with a small spout. Fill lip balm containers.
Thoughts: the vegan one would do well with 1 more teaspoon of coconut oil, a soft oil to make it more spreadable. Other than that, these are both great bases for all you lip balm experiments.
Here's where I found the recipes.
