Both of my daughters have nagged me for a good 6 months to make their own lipbalm and I finally caved did a bit of research into what would be the easiest and best ingredients and gave it a crack with them.
We had 2 attempts at making our own lip balm and our second attempt was a winner woohoo. I thought I would share our recipe below if you wanted to give it a go.
Ingredients:
Bees Wax (we bought ours from Bunnings)
Coconut Oil
Lip Stick
Instructions:
Shave 1 tbsp of Beex Was into a small bowl
Add 2 tbsp of Coconut Oil
Add a small piece of some lipstick
Place the small bowl with the ingredients in it into another bowl with boiling hot water in it to melt the ingredients.
Stir with a spoon for about 5 mins while the ingredients slowly melt.
Take the little bowl the ingredients are in and put it in the microwave for 10 seconds if it has not fully melted.
Stir the ingredients together and watch them melt.
Once it is a good consistency pour it into a small container you will use for your lip balm container.
Put it in the fridge for 20 minutes to harden..
TAH DAH you have a lovely new lip balm!
