  5. Pour the mixture into the upright tubes (or lip balm tins).
  6. Allow the lip balm to set and then cap the containers. This recipe will fill 8-12 lip balm tubes.

Important Note About Essential Oils:

Not all essential oils are safe for use on your lips. When selecting an essential oil for your DIY lip balm, ensure it is lip-safe. Some great options include:

  • Orange Essential Oil – Helps heal dry, cracked lips with its anti-inflammatory properties.
  • Rose Geranium Essential Oil – Known for its soothing and balancing properties.
  • Peppermint Essential Oil – Provides a cooling effect and may help plump lips by increasing circulation.
  • Clary Sage Essential Oil – Soothes lips and calms the senses.
  • Lavender Essential Oil – Adds a calming scent and helps keep lips clean with its antibacterial properties.
  • Eucalyptus Essential Oil – Offers healing properties and reduces lip swelling.
  • Spearmint Essential Oil – Refreshes lips with a cooling effect.

Notes:

  • Honey: If you choose to include raw honey, be aware that it may sometimes separate and settle at the bottom of the tube. If this happens, you can leave the honey out and still make a wonderful lip balm.
  • Storage: Keep your homemade lip balm in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. It will last up to one year when stored at room temperature.

Making your own DIY lip balm is not only easy but also a great way to avoid the harmful chemicals often found in store-bought products. Plus, you can personalize your lip balm with your favorite essential oils and ingredients!
