Say goodbye to dry, chapped lips! @bottegazerowaste shared how you can make your own all-natural and eco-friendly lip balm, all while reducing your environmental impact and keeping your lips healthy and hydrated. This fun and easy DIY project can be done at home and requires a few simple ingredients.

To make your own lip balm, you’ll need the following ingredients:

• Wax (carnauba, Candelilla or soy are vegan alternatives)
• Shea butter
• Oil (avocado oil works great)
• Vitamin E oil
• Essential oils
• Cardboard tube, tin, or old lip balm container

Once you have all of your ingredients, combine and heat over medium-high heat until the ingredients have completely melted. Make sure to remove the mixture from heat before adding in your essential oils. While the mixture is still hot, pour the melted mixture into lip balm tubes or small jars and allow the mixture to cool and solidify before using.

Many lip balms on the market contain potentially harmful ingredients, such as parabens, phthalates, synthetic fragrances, petroleum-based ingredients, and animal-derived ingredients, such as beeswax, lanolin, or carmine.

This all-natural and eco-friendly lip balm is a great natural and vegan alternative! You can use it as often as you like to keep your lips hydrated and protected. Enjoy!
