Tangerine Lip Balm

Pin to Pinterest

We {heart} Lip Balm! This is one our favorites! You only need a small amount for each container so, we make them in bulk to give as gifts at Birthday Parties, Teacher Appreciation and have a stash on hand for ourselves too! We love to use this throughout the day and especially before bed at night. We use Essential Oils and only natural ingredients so there’s no artificial colors, fillers or flavors which puts my mind at ease when the kids want to use it, which is all the time! Give your lips a refreshing treat with this All-Natural Lip Balm. Tangerine and Lime Essential Oils both have great benefits for your body, especially in combination with the coconut & sweet almond oils. The results yield a very soft balm for your lips that leaves them feeling great!

TIP: Have all your ingredients set out ahead of time and read through these directions first so you have an idea of how to do this accurately.

The Tools:

• Double Boiler
• Measuring spoons & cups
• A metal spoon
• optional: a knife if you’re using the beeswax that comes in a big brick instead of the pastilles

Ingredients:

• 1.5 oz. beeswax
• 2 tbsp. unrefined coconut oil
• 1 tsp sweet almond oil
• 15 drops of pure tangerine essential oil
• 5 drops of pure lime essential oil (use your judgement as to how strong, but the 20 is fairly mild so you can always add another few if you wish)
• Lip balm containers – I used the small heart containers for this & it made 22 total.

Directions:

1. The best way to start is to have your containers already lined up, with the lids removed, as once the wax is ready, it’s a pain to have to rush and do it then.
2. Next, melt your beeswax in the double boiler over medium heat. Once it starts to boil just put it on a low setting and leave it there as you stir the wax. Stir every few minutes
3. until the beeswax is fully melted into a nice, smooth with no lumps. (Melting time will vary depending on which type of beeswax you’re using).
4. Next, add in your coconut oil, and stir until melted fully into wax. Then add your sweet almond oil, & finally the lime & tangerine essential oils.
5. Leave the water on the lowest setting to keep it warm while you fill, because if it starts to harden at all, you will need to put it back on the water and let it melt again. It will start firming up fairly fast, so I normally have to do this before I get to the end of it.
6. Now you are just about set! Just let the balm set up for an hour or so & then you can apply your lids & labels!

Enjoy!
