DIY Essential Oil Lip Balm Recipes

DIY lip balm ideas that use essential oils that I love with the hopes that one of these recipes will soothe my poor dry lips.

Last night, as my mister and I were getting ready to go out for a date (a rare occurrence with a 6-year-old and my partner’s work schedule), I was prettying up in the bathroom, and when I put on my favorite shade of lipstick, I could suddenly see that my lips were MUCH dryer than I’d thought. Hmm… I suppose I haven’t been keeping up with my lip balm routine as well as I try to, and it’s been a rather dry winter. Whoops. Time to fix them up — no more flaky, dry skin on my lips, please!

Today, I thought I might share some cool DIY lip balm ideas that incorporate all of the essential oils that I love. I hope that one of these recipes will soothe my poor dry lips—and yours, too! Check them out, and let me know if you find a favorite. Peace!

DIY Essential Oil Lip Balm Recipes

Lavender Rose Lip Balm

This Lavender Rose Lip Balm from Rustic Wedding Chic would smell incredible! I’m not usually into florals, but Rose Essential Oils smells heavenly.

Lavender Orange Lip Balm

I love how Barb at Mom Off Track decorated the tubes of her Lavender Orange Lip Balm with washi tape! It’s definitely a cute idea, and they’d make a great gift.

Peppermint Cocoa Lip Balm

Mmm, I really want to try this Peppermint Cocoa Lip Balm from Essentially Eclectic. It would smell just like Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream… which just happens to be my mister’s favorite. I think he’d use it too!

DIY Beeswax Lip Balm

This DIY Beeswax Lip Balm from Mom Prepares incorporates Peppermint and Rosemary essential oils. I love the scent of rosemary. It’s a very wintry smell to me since I use it a lot in my diffuser during the cold season.

DIY Beeswax Lip Balm

You can make this DIY Organic Lip Balm from Don’t Mess With Mama with Lemon Essential Oil for less than $0.25 per tube!

DIY Lip Gloss

The packaging used for this DIY Lip Gloss over at Spoon Fork Bacon is AMAZING. Honestly, this might be the best lip balm packaging I’ve ever seen AND they tell you where you can order it right in the post. Gotta try this!

Peppermint Lip Balm

If you have a bunch of empty EOS containers hanging out in the bottom of your purse, you’ll love being able to refill it with this Peppermint Lip Balm and DIY from Mom 4 Real.

Spiced Chai Lip Balm

I used to work in an Indian Food Restaurant where I made and drank my weight in Masala chai on a regular basis. I ADORE the smell and I think this Spiced Chai Lip Balm from The Paleo Mom is going to be my new must-have!
