Shea butter benefits for the lips
The beauty industry really hit the jackpot when they discovered the benefits of shea butter for the skin, including the lips. Rich in fatty acids, vitamins, and antioxidants, shea butter is the perfect moisturizing agent. Vitamins A and E work to provide ample hydration to heal and prevent chapped lips. Shea butter is also highly emollient, allowing it to penetrate and lock in moisture.

Tip to make homemade chapsticks and avoid a mess in the kitchen
If you like me and it looks like a hurricane went through the kitchen every time you make something DIY, I suggest you get one of those very handy lip balm container tray kit. It will hold your lip balm containers while you pour the warm liquid wax and will avoid you to spill it everywhere and make a hot mess!
You can get a lip balm tray kit here on amazon here.
Otherwise, you will have to rely on your balancing and patience skills while filled each empty lip balm tubes. Its doable but if you are making a lot of lip balm at once, the tray kit is defenitely helpful.
Ingredients
- 1.5 teaspoon organic beeswax pellets
- 7 teaspoons organic shea butter
- 5 drops of peppermint essential oil optional
- 5 pieces lip balm containers
Instructions
- Melt the Shea butter and beeswax together in a double boiler or an aluminum bowl inside a pan filled with warm water on low to medium heat.
- Add the essential oil if desired, this is optional.
- Pour immediately into lip balm containers while it is still liquid wax and then wait until everything cools down and harden to use the chapstick (at least 1 hour).
- This recipe makes 4 to 5 * 0.15 oz lip balm container and can last up to 1 year (but also depending on the shelf life of the butter you use).
How can I make my lips naturally pink?
Hydrate yourself! It’s very important that you treat yourself from within for the results to show on your lips.
Other than this, regularly exfoliating your lips with a natural scrub, and moisturizing them with this homemade chapstick is surely going to help make your lips pinker and plumper.

DIY chapstick holder
If you are like me and keep loosing your umbrella and your chapstick, I’ve found a solution for you: the chapstick key holder!
Its basically a little fabric pouch you attached to your key chain and then insert your favorite homemade lip balm. That way you should be able to always know where your lip balm is, hehe!
You can buy one already made if you are lazy like me…I love those natural burlap bags, they make great reusable gift packaging.
