How to Make the Perfect Lip Balm with Shea Butter and Beeswax!

100% Natural & Organic Essential Oil, Shea Butter, Coconut oil, Lip Balms
Enjoy this organic natural lip balm! Simple, natural, and easy to create! It has a long shelf life and works well to moisturize the skin on the lips. Our recipe utilizes pure ingredients that you can feel good about putting on your body and on our children's bodies. I love that you can control the quality and scent, yet at the very same time, you get much more bang for your buck!
What You Will Need To Make It
1/4 cup of each:
beeswax, shea butter, coconut oil (Use equal amounts of each to increase quantity as desired - be sure to increase essential oil quantity as well)
20 drops essential oil (optional - more or less as preferred)
suggested oils: grapefruit, sweet orange, peppermint, lavender, vanilla, chamomile
Prepare containers for quick pour once ingredients are completely melted.
Using either a double boiler or a sauce pot with bowl, add the beeswax, shea butter and coconut oil.
Melt over medium heat.
Once melted, remove from heat. If using essential oils, add them now and stir to combine.
Use a heat protector to hold the bowl and pour the mixture through the funnel into your awaiting containers.
Remember the liquid will set quickly so make sure to pour it right after removing from the heat.
Let the balm set at room temperature. It is ready to use once solid!
Tips
To speed the process up, you can place a piece of foil over the top of the bowl if using the saucepan and bowl method.
Prepare containers before melting process, and have heat protective gloves ready for use.
Use balm-style containers or chapstick tubes; always your preference! Using beeswax pellets makes the process easier.
Tools You Might Need
funnel
double boiler or saucepan with a bowl
containers to hold the balm
spatula
heat protective gloves

[@coolsummergirl23]

Amazing video! I was wondering... Can I use olive oil instead of coconut oil? If yes, should I put in the same quantity or should I put more/less?

[@itsourabundantlife]

Thank you for viewing! This has been one of my favorite batches of lip balm, but of course, you can substitute the coconut oil with Extra Virgin Olive Oil. A great recipe would be melting 1 Tb shaved or chopped beeswax 3 Tb oil (EVOO) or almond or grapeseed oil 1 tsp raw honey (optional) Melt the beeswax with the oil, remove from heat, mix in the honey & add essential oils for fragrance if desired. Enjoy!

[@sabashaikh9614]

Mam cal i add bettro powder. And kojic acid for wightning

[@itsourabundantlife]

I am not sure what those products are or if they can be used in this recipe. Lmk if you find out! Blessings

[@lar933]

Is theres any difference ftom thd outcome if i use liquid coconut oil?

[@itsourabundantlife]

Hi Lar! Thank you so much for watching. I'm not sure on this question, but it seems like coconut oil has already been cooked down into a liquid and might not get hardened up. Thank you again for watching and commenting.

[@veronicabaillargeon5775]

So I prefer sticks to tins. How many tubes of lip balm will this recipe make

[@itsourabundantlife]

Absolutely, tubes are great, too! This recipe will produce approximately 36 tubes. Hope you enjoy & thank you for watching!

[@YouOnlyLiveOnceA]

does it matter if i use unrefined or refined shea butter?

[@itsourabundantlife]

Hi, thank you for watching, & great question! Unrefined is better....it has a more vibrant color & scent as well as higher skin regenerating benefits. However, you can use either, but unrefined is overall the best choice.

[@user-vp2tb1ev1n]

Where did you get lip balm containers?

[@itsourabundantlife]

Hi Uservp! Thank you for watching! We got ours from Amazon, and they have all kinds of options to choose from. Have a great day!

[@HectorGonzalez-hl9oy]

Is the essential oil just for the smell?? It’s not really needed right? I love unscented lip balms

[@itsourabundantlife]

That is correct. It's awesome, either way. Thank you so much for watching. Have an amazing day!

[@aivyle8186]

Hi, I have some questions, how much time can we keep it and do we need any special ingredient to conserve it ?

[@itsourabundantlife]

Hi aivyle! Thank you so much for watching. The shelf life is about 18 to 24 months without adding any other product. Thank you so much!

[@saadajahadhmy6857]

Excuse me where do you get beeswax and Shea butter I don't have any

[@itsourabundantlife]

Hi Saada! Thank you for watching! Amazon is a good choice!

[@0915sergio]

Hi,i used this recipe,it was great except if left in room tperature it becomes soft😓 is it okay to add more beeswax?And if yes how many?🥰

[@itsourabundantlife]

You can always try adding more beeswax...that might create a stiffer balm. Typically, recipes call for 2 parts oil (coconut or other), one part beeswax, & one part shea butter. It's totally your preferred on how you'd like the texture of your balm. Hope you've enjoyed your new products!

[@darinahradiska1827]

Hi, can I use cacao butter instead of shea butter. Many thanks

[@itsourabundantlife]

Hi Darina! You can, but you might get a chocolaty smelling lip balm.

[@darinahradiska1827]

Thank you very much , I won’t mind a chocolaty smelling lip balm at all 😊

[@mfog7582]

Can I substitute Soy wax for Beeswax? If so, would quantities change? Thank you

[@itsourabundantlife]

Hello and thank you for watching! I've never used soy wax or other soy products only due to possible pesticides. You can definitely give it a try as many use it for lip balms. Bless you and your family!

Instead of coconut oil can I put almond oil?

[@itsourabundantlife]

Absolutely! All these high quality edible oils are worth trying out: sweet almond oil, olive oil, coconut oil, avocado oil, hemp seed oil, or simular. Each oil will have its own health benefits, so have fun reading about the different oils and post what you find is your favorite. Have a great evening!

can we use white beeswax??

[@itsourabundantlife]

Thank you for watching Sergio! Yes, you can use either beeswax; white or yellow. The key difference between white and yellow beeswax is that white beeswax turns into white color after going through a pressure-filtration process, whereas yellow beeswax comes in yellow color because it is a less processed or more natural state.

[@0915sergio]

how many tubes does this make?😊

Beeswax takes longer to melt why not melt that's down first ?

[@areebanoor4251]

Why use beeswax?

[@itsourabundantlife]

Hi Areebanoor! Thank you so much for watching. Beeswax seals in moisture and protects against dryness. Beeswax has anti-inflammatory properties that can help to soothe chapped or irritated lips.
