When it comes to what we put on our skin—especially something as sensitive as our lips—natural is always best. Our lips don’t have oil glands, so they dry out faster than the rest of our skin. And while the stores are overflowing with lip balms, a surprising number of them are loaded with petroleum by-products, synthetic fragrances, and preservatives we can’t even pronounce.
Making your own lip balm is not only better for your lips and the planet, it’s also a whole lot more fun. You get to play around with flavors, textures, and even tint if you fancy a bit of colour. Plus, you’ll know exactly what’s going on your skin.
Whether you’re a fruity fan, a coffee addict, or into florals and spices, I’ve rounded up eight DIY lip balm recipes that are ridiculously easy to whip up at home. Each one is made with nourishing, skin-loving ingredients—and yes, they all smell (and taste) amazing.
