Try Natural Tinted Lip Balm To Get Soft Lips

Natural Tinted Lip Balm is a great alternative for those who don’t regularly wear lipstick.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons coconut oil
1 tablespoon beeswax
1 tablespoon shea butter
1/2 teaspoon red or rose mica powder

optional: 2-4 drops of peppermint essential oil

Instructions

* Melt the coconut oil, beeswax and shea/cocoa butter in a glass jar sitting in a small pot of simmering water (not boiling) and stir gently until melted (be careful not to get any water into the mixture).

* When melted, carefully stir in any colors or essential oils, if using. My favorite is lemon and vanilla for scent and a little red coloring or cocoa powder for color. A couple drops of peppermint will make it similar to Burt’s Bees Lip Chap.

* Once colors/scents are mixed in, use a dropper to transfer to tins or lip chap containers. Let cool.

* Apply the versions in the tins with your finger or use the version in plastic container as you would regular lip chap.
