Homemade Lip Balm

Recently I’ve ventured into making homemade beauty products.  At Christmas time I made some homemade bath bombs which were awesome.  I had a little trouble with them holding their shape, but they worked well.  Around Mother’s Day I made some homemade sugar scrubs to give to my mom and kept a few for myself.  They smell amazing and worked well at smoothing rough skin.

My latest adventure has been making lip balm.  I often buy lip balm and many of my friends are always using lip balm.  I thought it would be fun to make different scents to share with my friends and family.  The recipe for making lip balm is super easy.  I bought all of my supplies on Amazon and anxiously awaited my package.

While waiting for it to arrive I went shopping for containers to put lip balm in.  I found some at the dollar store.   They were 8 containers for a dollar so that was a big score.  The containers were actually made for sewing materials but they were the perfect size.

The lip balm only took about 5 minutes to make.  I had several scents of essential oils and I used cinnamon oil and lemon oil in the lip balm.  I went easy on the cinnamon because it’s very strong.  The lemon isn’t as strong so I had to use more of it.

The end result was a lovely, lightly scented lip balm that spreads easily on the lips.  I’ve given several of these to friends who are loving them and I have 2 in my purse to use throughout the day.  This is a great gift to give to others  or to keep for yourself.
