DIY Burt’s Bee’s Peppermint Lip Balm

I’m a huge fan of peppermint lip balm. I used to be an avid Burt’s Bess Original Beeswax Peppermint Lip Balm lover until they were bought out by Chlorox and their formula changed (it now contains canola oil and soybean oil). After that I set out on a mission to create my own natural lip balm.

This as a super easy lip balm recipe too follow with very simple directions. These lip balm tubes were perfect for this (this recipe makes about 5 tubes).  I also found printable labels are the perfect size for lip balm tubes (try these labels).  I recommend these labels

The best of about making your own lip balm, it’s good for you and, it costs less than a dollar to make each one, including the tube! No need to buy those expensive $10+ dollar a tube organic varieties anymore!

  1. Hello, I am trying to make a tincture using MCT as the base. I want to blend in a caffeine (powder or liquid) and wanted to see if lecithin (powder or liquid) may help blend together?
