Coffee Lip Balm

This recipe made 5 lip balms.

Materials

  • 1 tablespoon coffee-infused oil
  • 1 tablespoon cocoa butter
  • 2 teaspoons beeswax
  • 4 drops vanilla oleoresin
  • 4 drops coffee essential oil

Instructions

  • Add your ground coffee to a clean, dry glass jar. Pour the carrier oil over the coffee until it’s fully covered. Stir gently to combine. Let sit for a few weeks, then strain the oil through a cheesecloth or fine mesh strainer to remove all coffee grounds. Alternatively, you can put in a double boiler for a few hours as well.
  • In a double boiler, combine the coffee-infused oil, cocoa butter, and beeswax. Stir occasionally until fully melted and smooth.
  • Remove from heat and let the mixture cool for about a minute so it’s warm but not hot.
  • Add the vanilla and coffee essential oils until evenly blended.
  • Pour into lip balm tubes or small tins. Allow to cool completely until firm.

Notes

  • Any carrier oil works. I used almond oil. You can use shea butter instead of cocoa butter.
