DIY Natural Lip Balm

Say goodbye to commercial lip balms and go natural, your lips deserve it! These easy DIY lip balms are not only moisturizing, but healthy for your lips and your wallet!

Note: This recipe makes 3 ounces of lip balm so make sure you have enough containers. This recipe will make 20 lip balm tubes. You can always reduce the batch size by cutting the recipe in half.

Note: Weight amounts carefully. Do not measure melted oil/butter.

Tip: If you want a harder lip balm, add an additional 1/2 ounce of beeswax. For an even softer lip balm, add an additional 1/4 to 1/2 ounce of coconut oil.

This lip balm makes a great gift and can easily be customized by changing the color or the scent by using a variety of mineral makeup and essentials. One suggestion would be to substitute Wild Orange for the Lavendar for a cheerful blend.

Face Wash

The last few years I have experimented with essential oils and other natural items to create my own bath and body products. I thought why couldn’t a facewash be made from them as well, using all pure ingredients instead of drying chemicals that often make your skin worse. Of course I wanted to include the best essential oils that are known for healing and making your skin beautiful! Check out this Homemade Lavender Face Wash! Lavender is antiseptic, antiviral, anti inflammatory, and anti bacterial,  while Frankincense has long been used as a disinfectant and astringent. The Argan Oil is included, as it is like a liquid gold for face and hair- hydrating and softening naturally.

I added a 1/2 teaspoon rosehip oil to the original formula for moisturizing.
