DIY Peppermint Lip Balm with Unrefined Shea Butter
Here is another go-to recipe of mine for lip balms. Shea butter has softened my lips with regular usage. The healing properties of Unrefined Shea help in preventing chapped lips. Olive oil helps in moisturising the lips and prevents drying out. I'll get straight into the recipe.
Recipe
Ingredients:
4 tablespoons Better Butter Company's Unrefined Shea Butter
2 teaspoons Olive Oil
4-6 drops of Organic Lavender Essential Oil or Peppermint Essential Oil (Peppermint Essential Oil isn't recommended for kids).
Method:
Double boil or microwave the shea butter and olive oil till well melted.
Stir in the essential oil.
Pour the mixture into metal tins till it sets. You can also refrigerate it to speed up the solidifying process.
Tada! Your homemade DIY lip balm is ready. It's 100% natural, vegan and preservative-free.
Kindly Note:
1) As always, we recommend a patch test before application. Or, if you develop itchiness or redness post-use, kindly discontinue using the lip balm. Although the lip balm is 100% natural, some could be allergic to natural butters and oils.2) The products I have mentioned above are not paid promos. I have personally used them and love them. If you buy through the link mentioned above, I get a small referral fee from Amazon.
3) You can use our shea butter as it is without all of the steps above and it will still end up being an excellent lip balm. :)
