  1. Good morning Devon. Your lip balm sounds wonderful. I am already a subscriber to your blog. How do I get the printable labels?? Thanks for sharing your recipes

    1. Good Morning! Connie, check your email. I have sent you the link. Thanks!

  2. This is absolutely AWESOME!!! I had noooo idea that making lip balm was so easy! I totally have a love/hate relationship with lip balm because I’m not a huge fan of the added ingredients like alcohol and preservatives. I bet this feels so refreshing, can’t wait to give it a try. Thanks for sharing! <3

    1. You’re welcome! Hope you enjoy it!

  3. I’m a huge fan of Coconut, how would I go about achieving a coconut-vanilla lip balm?

    1. Hmmmmm….Well it has coconut oil already in the recipe. You could make it like the Orange Creamsicle Lip Balm (since it has vanilla), but just do not add the orange essential oil.

  4. Can I double the shea butter? I don’t have cocoa butter and I really want to make this ?

    1. Hi Susan!
      I have not made it without the cocoa butter. You can always try it. I don’t know how it will turn out.

    Is there a way to print the recipe and instructions? I am a paper person!

    1. I don’t have a printable version at this time.
