Cooler winds will be whipping around soon enough and my lips always get chapped. This year, I thought I would try making some lip balms to help combat my dried lips. First, one I tried was a Lavender Lip Balm Recipe.

Easy lavender lip balm recipe. Perfect for healing those chapped lips.

I have thought about making my own lip balms so many times. However, I was always scared to do it. I thought it would be hard to make. Boy, was I surprised at how easy it was!

These will make wonderful gifts as well. Perfect for stocking stuffers or for something additional to give.

With just a few simple ingredients and some boiling water, you have your own lip balm!

Make sure you try out the Orange Creamsicle too!

Step 2: Fill your large saucepan with about an 1 to 1 1/2 inches of water and bring the water to a boil.

Step 3: Once the water is boiling, place the glass measuring cup with the ingredients into the center of the large saucepan.

Step 4: Stir every few minutes until everything is melted.

Melting ingredients for Lip Balm

Step 5: Once it is all melted, remove from heat and let it sit for 3 minutes. While waiting the 3 minutes, line up our lip balm containers so you can fill them.

Step 6: Add Lavender essential oil and stir.

Step 7: Pour mixture into the lip balm containers and let them cool before capping. Be careful not to overfill. It is easy to do, trust me.

Pouring Lip Balm

    Is there a way to substitute the coconut oil in this recipe? My mom is allergic to coconut and I’d still like to make some for her.

      What about almond oil? I have never tried it so I am not sure how it will turn out. Wish I could tell you for sure. I have only used the coconut oil.

    Would it be possible to use all cocoa butter instead of half shea and half cocoa?

      Hey Melanie. You could try that. I have not made it that way so I am unsure how it would turn out.
