Vanilla Honey Lip Balm Ingredients

You'll need:

• 2 tbsp. petroleum jelly
• 1/8 tsp. vitamin E oil
• 1 tbsp. beeswax
• 1 tsp. honey
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract

Melt the Lip Balm Ingredients

Into a small microwavable bowl, place the petroleum jelly and beeswax. Put the bowl into a microwave for about 5 minutes. You may want to take it out half way and mix the contents to ensure the heating is even. After the beeswax and petroleum jelly have turned into a transparent liquid, take the bowl out.

Add the Lip Balm Flavors

Leave the bowl to cool to room temperature for about 5-10 minutes, then add honey and vanilla and mix everything together. As you mix in your flavors you'll notice that the texture is becoming thicker.

Storing the Homemade Lip Balm

Pour in your warm lip balm into your lip balm container. It's ready to be used. You can keep it for 4-6 weeks or until you get tired of it. And the best way to find out how good your lip balm is, is taste it!
