A little goes a long way with this ultra-hydrating and chocolate-scented cocoa butter lip balm recipe. This easy recipe combines cacao butter, coconut oil, beeswax, and honey for a chocolatey, moisturizing, and kissable goodness. Try making this DIY cocoa butter and coconut oil lip balm to pamper your kissers with an all-natural, toxin-free, and nourishing treatment.

Cacao Butter Benefits

The main ingredient in this lip balm is cacao butter, which is great to use in so many different recipes. Cacao butter is fantastic for making chocolate, cookies, and other melt-in-your-mouth treats. Did you know cacao butter is also great for your skin? It’s true! Cacao butter melts at skin temperature, making it the ingredient of choice in many skin care products, including scrubs, lotions, and soaps.

Cocoa butter chapstick makes the perfect lip balm. Why? Cocoa butter for lips delivers plenty of benefits for your smackers. The fatty acids in cacao butter work to nourish and hydrate your lips. Cacao butter also has phytochemicals, which protect your lips from sun damage. Apply some cocoa butter and coconut oil lip balm before leaving the house to protect your kissers from sun damage and keep them soft and smooth while you’re out and about!

Need another reason to make our cocoa butter chapstick? You will love this. The polyphenols in cacao butter have anti-aging properties! Regular use of cacao butter can slow skin aging. Studies have only just begun to look into the amazing benefits of cocoa butter for lips and skin. The studies look promising, but more research needs to be done.

The other ingredients in this DIY cocoa butter chapstick recipe are just as beneficial. Coconut oil smooths and conditions, beeswax covers and protects, and honey moisturizes and heals your lips!

The Problems With Conventional Lip Balm

The four simple, natural ingredients in our cocoa butter and coconut oil lip balm recipe are a far cry from the long list of poor-quality, toxic ingredients you’ll find in most store-bought chapsticks. Many companies use low-quality ingredients in their products to maximize business profits.

Some of these inferior ingredients, such as mineral oil and petrolatum, seem to hydrate your lips in the short run. But they can cause your lips to dry out and peel in the long term, making you buy more of the company’s products to treat your chapped lips. Our cocoa butter chapstick, on the other hand, contains all-natural ingredients that penetrate into and moisturize deep layers of skin. Cocoa butter for lips is non-toxic and heals chronic dryness naturally.

The toxic ingredients to look for in store-bought lip balms include petrolatum (a petroleum byproduct that can cause organ toxicity), parabens (or any ingredients that have the word “paraben” in them, which is a known endocrine disruptor), and fragrance or ‘perfume’ (which could be a cocktail of hundreds of unknown chemicals including hormone disruptors and carcinogens).

Keep an eye out for these ingredients in all of your favorite store-bought skincare products and try to avoid them! With all the harmful ingredients out there, even in products that are labeled as “all-natural,” it’s safer to make your own skincare products. Thankfully, this moisturizing cocoa butter chapstick is completely edible and kid-friendly. There is no need to worry about any fillers, preservatives, artificial ingredients, or toxins with this all-natural cocoa butter and coconut oil lip balm.

How to Make DIY Cocoa Butter Chapstick for Lips

What You’ll Need

• A jar or double boiler
• Approximately 4 lip balm tubes or two lip balm tins
• A wooden skewer (optional)

Ingredients

• 44 teaspoons Wildly Organic Cacao Butter
• 2 teaspoons Wildly Organic Coconut Oil
• 1 teaspoon beeswax beads
• 1/2 teaspoon honey

Using correct measurements of the above ingredients is important to make this cocoa butter chapstick recipe. To measure out the cacao butter, carefully shave off some with a knife ⏤ the block will start melting slightly as you’re holding it ⏤ and gently press the shavings into your measuring spoons.

Instructions

1. Combine all ingredients in a small jar.
2. Put the mixture in the oven at 200° F. You can also make this cocoa butter and coconut oil lip balm on the stove in a double boiler.
3. Heat the cocoa butter chapstick mixture until the beeswax has completely melted. The melting process should take about 10 minutes.
4. Swirl or stir the mixture regularly as it is melting. I use a wooden skewer to stir the mixture.
5. Remove the mixture from heat and carefully pour it into your lip balm tubes or tins.
6. Allow the balm to cool at room temperature or in the fridge until completely solid.
7. Store in a cool place. The lip balm might start to soften in your pocket or in direct sunlight.
