DIY Manuka Honey Lip Balm

 This natural homemade lip balm recipe is easy to make, tastes great and uses completely natural ingredients. Try my DIY recipe as an alternative to commercial lip products that can actually be drying to the skin.  

Ingredients:

• 4 tbs grated bees wax
• 2 tbs coconut oil 
• 2 tsp Manuka honey 
• 1/4 tsp food grade peppermint oil 
• 2 tbs coconut butter or shea butter 
• Remaining scraps of organic lipsticks to add colour to the final product (optional) 

Instructions:

Melt all of the ingredients on the stove top using a double boiler (no need for any fancy kitchen equipment, just place a metal bowl over a small pot of boiling water). Heat & stir lip balm until melted and thoroughly mixed and pour into small containers. Lip balm will harden and be ready for use in under 20 minutes and will keep for 6 months.
