Natural Lip Balm

There’s something incredibly empowering about crafting your own little potion of self-care. We found the process of crafting our very own nourishing lip elixir quite therapeutic, and the fact that we can give our empty mini jars! (from our 12 days of Christmas box) a new lease of life is a bonus.

Prep time: 30 mins

Materials

  • 1 tablespoon natural beeswax (try source locally if possible)⁠
  • 1 tablespoon shea butter ⁠
  • 1 tablespoon jojoba oil ⁠
  • 10 drops lavender essential oil (for a touch of soothing aromatherapy)⁠

Method

  1. Melt the beeswax and shea butter in a double boiler, allowing them to blend into a velvety consistency.⁠
  2. Gently stir in the jojoba oil, infusing a botanical luminescence into the mix.⁠
  3. Remove from heat and add the lavender essential oil, letting the soothing scent take centre stage.⁠
  4. Pour the mix into a Folláin mini glass jar and let set to perfection.
