For all the coco nuts out there, I’ve created this easy coconut oil lip balm recipe DIY, Step By Step recipe you can create right in your kitchen! Coconut oil is excellent as a skin moisturiser and softener. I am also using castor oil in this coconut oil lip balm recipe to add extra shine but you could use another liquid carrier oil like safflower or olive oil if you wanted something less shiny.
Gather all the ingredients and add the beeswax, castor oil and coconut oil in a double boiler or a pan filled with water. You will need 6 to 8 lip balm containers for this recipe.
Once melted, add the essential oil if desired and mix well.
Pour the liquid wax in the lip balm containers and fill them to the top. If it has already starting to harden, don’t panic! Put it back into the double boiler for a few seconds until it melts again and pour the rest in the lip balm containers.
Wait one hour or two until the wax starts to harden then you can use the lip balm right away! If it is a hot day, you can pop the lip balm containers in the fridge so the lip balm hardens more quickly.
