Homemade Honey Coconut Lip Balm – A Sweet and Simple Holiday DIY

by 1 Comment

There’s something so comforting about the scent of warm honey and creamy coconut—it instantly makes me think of holiday baking, cozy jumpers, and slow, intentional self-care. This homemade honey coconut lip balm recipe is the perfect little project for gifting (or keeping!) during the colder months when lips are crying out for moisture.

I originally made this as part of a handmade gift set for teachers. My daughter insisted we add glitter to the packaging and a tag that said “You’re the balm!” Naturally, it was a hit.

Why Coconut Oil + Honey?

  • Coconut oil deeply moisturizes and helps protect against harsh winter winds.

  • Raw honey is healing, antibacterial, and full of skin-loving nutrients.

  • Together? They’re a powerhouse of natural lip care—rich, nourishing, and so simple to blend.

DIY Honey Coconut Lip Balm Recipe

Makes about 6 small tins or tubes

Ingredients:

  • 2 tbsp coconut oil

  • 1 tbsp beeswax pellets

  • 1 tsp raw honey

  • Optional: a few drops vanilla, peppermint, or sweet orange essential oil

Want a vegan version? Swap beeswax for candelilla wax.

How To Make It:

  1. Melt it down.
     In a double boiler (or a small heat-safe bowl over simmering water), gently melt the coconut oil and beeswax together, stirring until fully combined.

  2. Add honey and scent.
     Remove from heat. Stir in the raw honey and essential oil if using. Work quickly—honey doesn’t fully dissolve in oils, so keep stirring to mix it through.

  3. Pour into containers.
     Carefully pour the mixture into lip balm tins, tubes, or small pots. Let cool and set completely before sealing with lids.

  4. Label and store.
     Store in a cool, dry place. These balms will last about 3–4 months. Add a cute label or holiday ribbon if gifting!

Make It a Holiday Gift Set:

Pair your lip balm with:

  • A homemade sugar scrub

  • A mini soy candle

  • A DIY face mask or clay soak
     Pop everything into a mason jar or kraft paper gift bag with a hand-lettered tag. Done and dusted!

Why You’ll Love This Lip Balm:

  • Only 3 ingredients

  • Nourishes dry, cracked lips naturally

  • Smells like a tropical holiday treat

  • Perfect for winter skincare & stocking stuffers

  • No synthetic fragrances, dyes, or preservatives
