If you live somewhere cold, then chances are this winter took a toll on your lips. Luckily, lip balm is an easy and cheap product that you can make at home – and get ready for those dry summer months. Using just two ingredients, you can make your own lip balm that is completely natural, good for your lips and skin, has a great scent, and costs very little.
By making your own lip balm, you will increase your self-sufficiency for very little money invested.
This stuff is really simple. You’ll need beeswax and coconut oil. Really, that’s it. Even better, if you already raise bees, then this lip balm will cost you almost nothing, and you’ll have a new use for the wax you get.
But if you don’t raise bees, order some beeswax or pick it up at the local food co-op or craft store. Try to get organic; you don’t want that industrial stuff that’s made downwind from some pollution factory in China. You should be able to get a pound of coconut oil at the supermarket.
You will also need something to put the lip balm into. You can buy the little twist-up tubes online for fairly cheap, or reuse some old jars.
