How to Make Your Own Lip-Balm
I recently found out that you could make lipstick out of beeswax and crayons. But, the majority of kids I know can't wear lipstick or other makeup. So, I came up with my own recipe to make scented, but not colored, lip balm.
Materials
- Small Microwave-Safe Bowl
- Some Kind of Container (I used a clear plastic container I got on Amazon a while back)
- Coconut Oil
- Beeswax (I used part of an old candle)
- Vanilla Extract for Scent
Steps
- Add about the same amount of beeswax and coconut oil. If you want it to be more dense, add less oil.
- Microwave until you can stir the beeswax and coconut oil. The beeswax does not have to be melted all the way. Make sure when you but the beeswax into the bowl that it isn't all in one big ball so it can melt better
- Remove from the microwave and stir.
- Add one drop of vanilla extract and put into the container.
- I put mine into the fridge for about 15 minutes.
