Homemade Raspberry Lip Balm
Three simple ingredients, and you're on your way to a pretty DIY tinted lip balm made with all natural ingredients like freeze-dried raspberries.
Yield: 2 ounces
Cost: $5
Equipment
- Double boiler or microwave-safe bowl
Materials
- 1–2 tablespoons coconut oil
- ½ tablespoon ground freeze dried raspberries add more if desired
- ½–1 teaspoon beeswax for a firmer consistency
Instructions
- Grind raspberries in a coffee grinder until you have a very fine powder.
- Melt the coconut oil and beeswax (if using) together in a double boiler (I just put the oils inside a glass Pyrex measuring cup, then place whole thing inside a small saucepan. Fill the saucepan with 2 inches of water, and bring to a low boil.)
- Add raspberry powder and stir to combine.
- Transfer to container with lid and let sit to harden.
Notes
Use within 3–6 months. As always, toss it if you notice mold or a change in consistency.
