Hi!  When it comes to DIY skin care, making your own lip balm is a no fail product.  You seriously can make lip balms just as effective and fun as a store bought lip balm!  You just need a little beeswax and oil and some creativity!   Today I wanted to share a recipe for a super yummy, yet nourishing lip balm!  This lip balm is no joke.  It truly smells like mint chocolate chip!  So good!  Let’s jump right in!

DIY Mint Chocolate Lip Balm

1 TBSP. Grapeseed Oil (find it HERE)

1 tsp. Cocoa Butter (find it HERE)

1 tsp. Beeswax (find it HERE)

5 drops Peppermint Essential Oil (find it HERE)

1. Fill a pot half way full of water.
2. Place a glass pyrex bowl with a spout in the pot.
3. Turn the stove top on medium heat.
4. Add Oil, Butter and Wax and let melt.
5. Once all ingredients are melted, pour into containers.
6. Let Cool.

This recipe will make about 1 ounce.  This will fill about 5-6 lip balm tubes.  I like to store mine in a 1 ounce tin.  I also love THESE little tins.

I use grapeseed oil because it has no scent to it.  You could also use a refined coconut oil, almond oil or meadowfoam seed oil as well.

I hope you try this balm-You’ll absolutely love it and so will your lips!

xx, Jenni
