But buying a good lip balm can be expensive for a girl with a habit like mine, so I decided to make my own to try to save some money. And guess what?! It's not only cheap, but it's easy. It literally takes 10 minutes to create an entire stash of lip balm for just a few dollars!
Sweet.
But what's really fantastic is that this Lavender Coconut Lip Balm is the perfect gift for holidays, birthdays or favors for a party. Why? Because it's inexpensive and super easy, but at the same time it's thoughtful and everybody loves them! I call that a win at life, my friend.

In this recipe, the lavender and coconut are subtle flavors, but the combination between the floral and tropical is sooo nice. It really makes me want to lay around on a caribbean beach with a giant pina colada and maybe a hot shirtless man. With a fan. And he can feed me fruit. Who doesn't like that?!
Lavender Coconut Lip Balm
Makes ~5 oz of lip balm (enough for ~10 containers)
- 2 oz Beeswax, chopped (or grated) I use 100% Organic Hand Poured Beeswax
or Organic beeswax Pellets
(If you get white, some companies use chemicals to bleach them)
- 3 oz Coconut Oil (I use Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil
)- you can use more coconut oil if you want it softer-- this is a hard recipe which is good for lip balm tubes, too.
- 5 drops of Vitamin E (Vitamin E Oil
)
- 10 drops of Therapeutic Grade Lavender Essential Oil (Find Quality Essential Oils)
