Did you know that lip balms contain substances that are toxic to your health?

Especially the Labello sticks that I have used for years ...

As these products are applied to the lips, they are easily swallowed!

Luckily, here's an easy lip balm recipe. 100% natural without any harmful product.

And in addition, this recipe is very economical!

I offer here 2 versions of this lip balm: a colored and a colorless version.

Without further ado, here is the 100% natural lip balm recipe that your lips will love! Look :

Ingredients

- 1 teaspoon of beeswax pastilles

- 1 teaspoon of shea butter or cocoa butter

- 1 teaspoon of coconut oil

These basic ingredients will allow you to create a smooth and clear lip balm, very hydrating and protective.

It is made from all natural ingredients. Once applied to the lips or skin, it is harmless to health.

If you wish, you can also make a colored lip balm by adding the following ingredients to create the color of your choice.

To get a colored lip balm

- For a red color: a tiny pinch of beetroot powder or 1 drop of natural red food coloring without chemical additives. Go easy on the quantity because a very small amount is more than enough.

- For a brown color: 1/4 teaspoon of organic cocoa powder, or a small pinch of cinnamon or turmeric to get exactly the color you want.

- For a more matte texture: 1/4 teaspoon of green clay. Combine it with a color so as not to leave white marks on the lips.

- For the perfume: a single drop of essential oil of choice (optional).

How to do

1. Put the beeswax, shea (or cocoa) butter, and coconut oil in a glass jar without a lid.

2. Place the jar in a small pot of simmering water. Due to the small amount used for each ingredient, the mixture will melt quickly.

3. When the mixture is melted, remove the jar from the heat.

4. (Optional) Add the ingredients for the color or scent if desired.

5. Once the ingredients are well mixed but still liquid, use a dropper to pour the mixture into an empty tube like this one.

Note: do not fill the tube to the top as the balm will expand slightly when cooled.

6. Let the lip balm tube cool for at least half an hour.

7. Store it in a cool place (less than 25 degrees) otherwise it may soften.

Results

And there you have it, your 100% natural lip balm without toxic products is already ready :-)

Easy, quick and efficient as a recipe, right?

No more brushing your mouth with Labello which contains endocrine disruptors!

Your lips will love it and will have a crack free winter.

Additional advice

Note that to get a shade like in the photos, I used 1/8 teaspoon of beetroot powder, 1/4 teaspoon of cocoa powder, 1/8 teaspoon of green clay and 1/8 teaspoon of cinnamon.

I also added a peppermint essential oil just because I love the smell.

After mixing everything together, I added a little more cocoa powder to darken it slightly.

I also used the glass dropper from an old tincture bottle to avoid buying one.
