DIY Manuka Honey Lip Balm

Important Note: There many DIY honey lip balm recipes out there but they don’t have a good consistency. The honey sinks to the bottom or doesn’t mix well. BUT I made lip balm with honey and mine mixed up very well and it was so delicious and smelled of honey! How did I do this? Well, I did things very differently. I didn’t use beeswax in my recipe and used a small blender to blend my ingredients into a smooth cream. So my recipe below will definitely work out for y’all! Don’t worry about the honey not mixing in because it will! You’ll see!

What you need

• 2 ½ tbsp shea butter (where to get it)
• 1 tsp manuka honey (where to get it)
• 1 ½ tsp rose water (where to get it)
• 2 drops peppermint oil (where to get it)
• 2 drops lavender essential oil (where to get it)
• Magic Bullet blender (where to get it)
• Round salve tin or lip balm containers or chapstick tubes for storage

Directions

1. What you’re going to do is simply add all ingredients into your small blender. Your shea butter should be soft. I just scoop mine out of the jar. If it’s hard, please soften it by placing the it in a bowl then placing that bowl in a larger bowl of hot water. This will help soften it up.
2. Blend away to form a smooth cream.
3. Pour the cream into a round salve tin or lip balm containers.
4. Let the lip balm set in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.

That’s it! No beeswax or double boiler melting involved! Enjoy your DIY manuka honey lip balm!
