Women around the world apply toxic, synthetic ingredients to their face, including around their mucous-membrane (eyes and mouths) daily. The chemicals are blinked into eyes, seeped into pores, and accidentally licked into mouths, accumulating over a woman’s lifespan.

Hence, the reason for my DIY lipstick recipe.


My DIY lipstick recipe is nothing more complicated than a jazzed up lip balm.


INGREDIENTS FOR DIY NATURAL LIPSTICK

2 teaspoons sweet almond oil or coconut oil

1 teaspoon beeswax / beeswax beads

1 teaspoon cocoa or shea butter

1-2 drops of any essential oils

lip balm tubes or tins

 

Optional Colouring Ingredients:

1/8 – ¼ teaspoon beetroot powder

1/8 – ¼ cacao powder

1/8 – ¼ teaspoon cinnamon powder

1/8 – ¼ maca powder

1/8 – ¼ spirulina powder

1/8 – ¼ teaspoon turmeric

 

INSTRUCTIONS FOR DIY NATURAL LIPSTICK

Set a glass measuring cup or a jar into a sauce pan with 2-3cm of water in it to create a double boiler.

Melt the wax, oil and shea butter in the jar over medium heat.

Stir in optional colouring.

Finally, remove from heat and quickly stir in a drop or two of essential oil for fragrance and nourishment, like cinnamon, peppermint, lavender, or lemongrass.

Pour into lip balm tins or sticks.

Let cool. Enjoy!

 

TAKE NOTE:

Citrus oils are phototoxic (can cause excessive burning when exposed to the sun) to varying degrees. If you choose to 
use citrus in your lipstick, be sure to only use 1 drop.
