Homemade Vanilla Lip Balm Recipe

Are you interested in making homemade lip balm with the perfect lip balm flavor? Then here’s a simple, no-fuss recipe to get you started. This is one of the easiest recipes to begin with. Check your kitchen cupboards because you probably have most of the ingredients on hand. If not, you can find the others at your favorite online hobby shop.

Supplies:

Microwave or double boiler
Spoon to stir with
Lip balm tins or Lip Balm Tubes
Measuring Spoon

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons of olive oil or coconut oil
1/2 teaspoon of beeswax (acts as a hardener)
vanilla extract

Gather up all your ingredients. You'll notice that these are natural nourishing ingredients.

The oils are used to make the product creamy and moisturizing. To the oils you'll simply add a little beeswax to harden the product in the tin or tube. Then you're going to add drops of vanilla extract for flavoring until you get the perfect blend.

Here's how to cook up this lip confection. I use a microwave for cosmetic recipes, but you might prefer cooking over the stove. If that's the case use a double boiler. It's just one smaller pan set into a larger one that has the water in it.

Make It Easy Step-by-Step

2. Mix the olive oil with the beeswax.

3. Set the two main ingredients in either a microwave safe mixing cup or the double boiler.

4. Stir on low heat or microwave a few seconds at a time.

5. Melt the mixture.

6. Remove the mixture and start adding drops of vanilla flavoring.

7. Pour into your containers while the mixture is still warm.

Here's a tip to keep your work area clean. Use a cookie sheet to set your containers on. That way when you pour your mixture you won't have to worry about any spilling onto your kitchen counters.

If you want to preserve this vanilla lip balm recipe for later then try adding a drop or two of vitamin E syrup. Package your product with a label you design yourself or have a few made.

Your homemade vanilla lip balm recipe will be ready in no time. Once you try this method you might just want to make more. If that's the case then start thinking ahead and buy some lip balm supplies in bulk if you're thinking of gift giving.
