DIY: Homemade Vanilla Rose Lip Balm

Hey lovelies :) Today's post is a really fun and exciting one! This recipe is to make your own DIY Lip Balm! The ingredients are not common household ingredients, but are extremely easy to find at a local specialty market!!! I chose the flavor "vanilla rose" because of the feminine and floral scent. It is sweet and luxurious. Keep reading for an ingredients list and directions!



What You Need: 

  • 1 tablespoon beeswax pearls (also called pellets or pastilles)
  • 1 tablespoon pure shea butter
  • 2 tablespoons sweet almond oil
  • 10-15 drops essential oils
  • 4 tins 
  • 10 drops of Rose Oil
  • 5 drops of Vanilla Oil
Directions:
Melt the beeswax, shea butter, and almond oil together in the top of a double boiler or in a heat-safe bowl set over a pot of simmering water. Stir continuously with a whisk. Once the ingredients melt, remove them from heat. Whisk in the essential oils as well as the rose and vanilla oil. For the next step you have to work quickly! Transfer the liquid mixture to a measuring cup or a container with a pour spout and then divide it among four 1/2-ounce lip balm tins. Let balms cool completely until solid, about 20 minutes. Store in a cool, dry place. Good Luck!
Thank you so so much for reading! Please follow and comment below how the recipe worked out for you. Love you guys!
