Kool-Aid Lip Balm

All it takes is 15 minutes and two ingredients that you probably already have around the house to make Kool-Aid Lip Balm! This is a fun project that doubles as an even cooler gift!

Recently I saw a Facebook view that was showing how to make your own lip balm using crayons. Crayons?! Even though they were using a non-toxic brand, I was still a little taken back by the idea. I tend to lick my lips a lot (something to do with winter), and do not like the idea of some of crayon ending up in my mouth. I know it was aimed more at children, but I am still a little taken back by the idea.

Kool-Aid Lip Balm

I recently made DIY Burt’s Bees Peppermint Lip Balm which wasn’t really that big of a hit with my son. He just does not like anything mint flavored in the slightest. I can’t quite wrap my mind around I because I love anything to do with any kind of mint (peppermint, wintergreen, you name it). So, I have had my eyes open for an alternative and this is what I came up with. Kool-Aid!!

Kids love Kool-Aid! Moms on the other hand, not so much. It’s sugary, it stains, it leaves sticky spots in places that you don’t find until the ants start a new colony. But, what if you were to take said Kool-Aid with it’s staining ability and turn it into lip balm?!

Kool-Aid Lip Balm

You get to kill two birds with one stone! You get to get rid of that annoying Kool-Aid while still keeping your kids happy! So if you have 15 minutes and a few restless kids, round them up and give this a try!

    1. This will last as long ad your petroleum jelly is good, it does not need refrigeration.

  4. Hi! How long does it take for the kool-aid to dissolve? I followed instructions but it’s been a while and the kool-aid hasn’t dissolved a bit.
    Has anyone tried this DIY? Did it work for you?

    1. Hi Marisbel! The Kool-Aid will never really dissolve.You are basically looking for it to just change the color of your petroleum jelly like the picture shown.
