  • 30g Coconut Oil
  • 10g Aloe Vera Gel
  • 3 Drops Vitamin E
  • 3 Drops Lavender Essential Oil

Preparation Time

Total Time: Approximately 15-20 minutes

Steps

  1. Melt the Beeswax, Shea Butter, and Coconut Oil: In a double boiler on medium heat, melt the beeswax, shea butter, and coconut oil until fully liquefied.
  2. Add Aloe Vera Gel: Remove from heat and add the aloe vera gel to the mixture, stirring until evenly combined.
  3. Add Essential Oils & Vitamin E: Finally, add the lavender essential oil and vitamin E, stirring thoroughly to incorporate.

Benefits

  • Beeswax: Provides a protective barrier on the lips, sealing in moisture.
  • Shea Butter: Deeply nourishes and hydrates the lips, rich in vitamins A and E.
  • Coconut Oil: Moisturizes and softens, helping to soothe dry or chapped lips.
  • Aloe Vera Gel: Calms and hydrates, providing a cooling effect and relief from irritation.
  • Vitamin E: Acts as an antioxidant, protecting lips from environmental damage and promoting healing.
  • Lavender Essential Oil: Provides a soothing aroma and helps to calm irritated skin.

Tips & Tricks

  • If you prefer a firmer lip balm, add more beeswax.
  • For a softer balm, increase the amount of coconut oil or shea butter.
  • Customize the scent by substituting lavender with your favorite essential oils.
