Candy Cane Lip Balm

A creamy and natural Candy Cane Lip Balm made with simple ingredients, a touch of minty sweetness, and a cute holiday tint. So easy to make and perfect for gifting. This recipe makes around 10 lip balm tubes.

Materials

  • 2 tablespoon carrier oil
  • 2 tablespoon beeswax
  • 1 1/2 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 5 drops essential oil
  • Red mica powder

Candy Cane Essential Oil Blend:

  • 3 drops Spearmint essential oil
  • 2 drops Vanilla oleoresin

Instructions

  • In a double boiler, combine the beeswax, carrier oil, and coconut oil. Heat gently until everything is fully melted and smooth.
  • Remove from heat and allow to cool for 1-2 minutes so it’s not too hot before adding essential oils.
  • Stir in a small pinch of red mica powder, mixing until evenly blended. Add more for a deeper tint if desired.
  • Carefully pour the mixture into lip balm tubes or tins.
  • Allow to cool completely until solid. Cap and label.

Notes

  • Any carrier oil works, I used jojoba oil.
  • Mica is optional.
