Try this Chocolate Mint Lip Balm recipe for a homemade gift or have older girls make it at a birthday party! The homemade lip balm tastes delicious!
I admit it, I am crazy for lip balm. If I don’t have it, I kind of start to panic. Making your own lip balm is really fun and super easy.
The best part is that you can make it any flavor you want. I am working on a Chocolate Mint Mason Jar so today recipe is for Chocolate Mint Lip Balm. Enjoy!

Melt white beeswax pellets in a double boiler or in the microwave.
Stir in cocoa powder until smooth.
Add the coconut oil, sweet almond oil and peppermint oil and stir to combine.
Pour into three small plastic containers. I used these 5 gram sized containers. They are tiny but work great for adding to a purse or bag because they don’t take up much space.
Allow the lip balm to harden. Then, attach Chocolate Mint Lip Balm labels to the jars.

We have an almond allergy. Do you have to use the sweet almond oil?
Tonia says
You should be able to use another liquid oil instead. Enjoy! ~Tonia
