Easy DIY Lip Balm Recipe With Dried Rose Rose Petals
This moisturizing DIY lip balm recipe is very easy to make and great for dry and dehydrated lips.
Ingredients:
- 10 gr beeswax (check this one)
- 20 gr coconut oil (get it here)
- 20 gr almond oil (buy here)
- 5 gr honey
- 0.5 vitamin E (get it at Amazon)
- Dry rose petals
How to make it:
Place the beeswax, coconut oil, and almond oil in a heat-resistant container and in a water bath over low heat. Simmer until the beeswax and coconut oil are melted.
While you wait, place a few dry roses in the small containers.
Once the ingredients are melted, remove from heat and add the vitamin E oil. Stir well.
Now pour the mixture into the containers and wait until it dries. Since beeswax dries very fast, your lip balm will be ready in no time.
Ready to use!
This amount was enough to fill 3 small jars. Adjust the quantities to make more or less lip balm.
I wouldn’t recommend making the balm using fresh rose petals because the color turns brown. Not a pretty sight!
