Homemade Peppermint Lip Balm with TWO FREE printable labels!
DIY lip balm is so much fun! I’ve been making it for a few months now and am excited to share with you all how to do it. Making your own lip balm is not as hard as it may seem and in the end, it will save you money. It also makes a fabulous gift idea, especially with my two free printables!
My amazing friend Emily once again came up with amazing designs for me. (Click here to see the gift tags she made.)
One set of labels says, “Peppermint Lip Balm” like you see in the above picture and the other…
“Peace, Love, Happiness, and Kindness.” I thought it would be a great way to spread joy around this holiday season and throughout the year. I love how it all turned out!
How to Make Homemade Lip Balm:
Items needed:
Pipette or Dropper
and/or
Peace, Love, Happiness, and Kindness Labels
The beeswax, shea butter, and coconut oil will moisturize your lips and leave them feeling soft and smooth!
The peppermint is a light scent and not overwhelming. You can also decide how many drops you would like to add.
Directions:
Simply melt together the beeswax and coconut oil then the shea butter. Remove from heat and add in the desired amount of peppermint oil. Then carefully fill the lip balm tubes. Let cool, add labels and you’re done!
The initial cost adds up but I promise in the end it’s worth it! This makes for a great gift, lip balm for yourself and a fun activity to do with kids.

Notes
Tip: Add around 10 drops of peppermint essential oil and test on your skin or lips (being careful with the hot liquid) to see how many more drops you might like to add.

Would this recipe work if putting in little metal tins?
I think it should work just fine.
This was an easy fun DIY to do with my 11yr daughter. The recipe made 17 tubes and works wonders on all of our lips
I’m so glad you enjoyed this DIY with your daughter! It’s such a fun activity!

How many drops of peppermint essential oil you added to your mixture?
Around 10-15 drops
Question about the recipe. If I adjust the shea butter, could I make it softer & longer lasting? Reducing coconut oil make it too hard. Thanks for your time.
Shea butter will make the balm softer and creamier, while beeswax makes it firmer and helps it stay on the lips longer. If you want it softer, try increasing the shea butter a little. If you want more staying power, add a bit more beeswax. Small adjustments can make a big difference, so I’d recommend testing a small batch first!
