nobody likes dry lips.
equally, nobody should like putting toxic substances on their skin, especially on our mouth!
dev and i go through chapstick like crazy & although there are several healthy, awesome brands, it is so much cheaper to make them yourself. + you can make them in large quantities, add the “flavors”/oils you like, and never run out! i’ve never found a recipe that i love the consistency of, but my mom recently shared this recipe with me and we are obsessed!
homemade natural chapstick:
-makes about 20-
2 T organic cacao butter
2 T beeswax
2 T organic coconut oil
squirt of jojoba oil
squirt of vitamin E oil
15-20 drops of peppermint essential oil (or cinnamon, or any of your favorite oils!)
-gently heat all the ingredients but the essential oils in a small sauce pan until just melted. mix in EO and pour into empty chapstick containers. let sit until firm before putting on lids.
