How to Make the BEST DIY Lip Balm Ever

March 31, 2021 by Haley 13 Comments

I don’t know about you, but I always seem to have chapped lips. It doesn’t seem to matter what season, how much water I drink, my lips are always chapped. Because of this, I have dedicated so much time to trying to find the perfect lip balm. There are a lot of good options out there on the market already, but sometimes I’m not always a fan of the ingredients that are used. So I went on the hunt for one that actually does the trick and one that I could make myself!  I have tried other concoctions, but this DIY lip balm is my favorite so far.

Myfashionchronicles.com is all about looking and feeling great! Keep your lips moisturized and save some money with this super easy and fun-to-make DIY lip balm!

DIY Lip Balm

I found this amazing recipe on The Willow Tree and it is fabulous!

You need:

Coconut Oil

Petroleum Jelly

Beeswax

Kool-aid (for color)

Refillable cosmetic jars

I have the hardest time finding a lip balm that doesn't actually end up drying out my lips. This DIY lip balm is my favorite so far.

Start with 1 TB of beeswax (shavings) and add 4 TB coconut oil and 4 TB of petroleum jelly and put it in a microwave safe bowl.  Heat it in the microwave for 50 seconds.  Mix in a little bit of the kool-aid packet (start with a small amount and add more Kool-Aid to get the desired shade or flavor you want.)

Here’s a helpful hint! If you don’t want to use Kool-Aid, there are a ton of other options available. Flower petals, orange peel, coffee beans, and other natural sources of flavor. If you’re wanting a peppermint flavor, try adding your mix to an old Altoids container.

I have the hardest time finding a lip balm that doesn't actually end up drying out my lips. This DIY lip balm is my favorite so far.

Once it is mixed and it is the right shade and flavor, use a funnel and pour it into your cosmetic jars.  Put it in the fridge for 2 hours and looove your new DIY lip balm! You’ll love how soft your lips are, and you’ll love knowing you can easily whip up a batch as easy gifts as well.

**You can find the refillable jars on Amazon or eBay, or other cosmetic stores.

    Lip balm or lip salve is a wax-like substance applied topically to the lips of the mouth to relieve chapped or dry lips, angular cheilitis, stomatitis, or cold sores. Lip balm often contains beeswax or carnauba wax, camphor, cetyl alcohol, lanolin, paraffin, and petrolatum, among other ingredients. Some varieties contain dyes, flavor, fragrance, menthol, phenol, salicylic acid, and sunscreens.*..^’

    i tried adding the kool aid after I mixed and melted it, but the kool aid never dissolved. Should I have stirred it in before microwaving?

    I have tried this recipe minus the beeswax and I can’t get the kool-aide to dissolve and blend. What I’m I doing wrong?
