Winter is hard on our lips. Heck, any day that ends in “y” here in Colorado requires lip balm at some point.

I have an addiction to lib balm. And, I’ve tried them all. Buying the leading name brand balms was getting pricey and my love of DIY was yelling loudly!

After much trial and error of recipes on Pinterest I have come up with this one that is consistent and produces great results.

Because this recipe is small batch (making 6-8 tubes) it’s an easy and inexpensive gift to make and give!

I have included all the items needed to make these little gems below the recipe.

Have fun making these and let me know what other flavors you like to use!

Place all ingredients except essential oil in a double broiler.
Melt until everything is melted, stirring occasionally.
Remove from heat and stir in Peppermint essential oil.
Using a pipette, carefully fill tubes. Stir liquid with end of pipette each time to keep the oil mixed in.
Go back and top off any tubes as the lip balm settles when cooling.
