Collection of Chap stick Recipes


Lips get dry and chapped in winter season and need to be moisturized with a lip balm or chapstick. There are lots of cosmetic brands that produce chapsticks in different flavors. You can make chapstick at home also. Here I have provided you with a collection of best tips to make chapstick at home using natural ingredients. You can follow these tips and prepare different flavored chapstick at home:
Recipe 1: Olive Oil & Beeswax Flakes
Chipstick with these ingredients is best suitable for chafed, chapped or sauntanned lips as these ingredients include Vitamin E, beeswax, camphor, petrolatum and more. You need to have:
  • 1 cup virgin live oil
  • ¼ cup of beeswax flakes or pallets
  • 4 large sized vitamin E capsules
Mix all these ingredients and put them in double boiler or a saucepan filled with water and melt them over low flame. Make sure that all ingredients get melted well but mixture should not boil. Remove the saucepan from flame and keep stirring the ingredients. Fill mixture in chapstick containers with the help of dropper and let it cool for storage and use.
Recipe 2: Soy Wax & Shea Butter
Another recipe of homemade chapstick includes soy wax, shea butter and virgin olive oil as main ingredient. Quantities of these ingredients that you need are:
  • ¼ cup of extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 teaspoon of soy wax
  • 4 teaspoon shea butter
  • 15 Vitamin E capsules of large size
Take these ingredients in heat safe measuring cup. Put this cup in a saucepan filled with water over low flame. Keep it on flame until it melts all ingredients in heat safe cup but it should not boil. Remove the ingredients from flame and stir them to mix well and cool. Pour the mixture in chapstick containers and store for use. You can add any flavor in chapstick before pouring into chapstick containers.
Recipe 3: Vanilla and Lemon
You can also use exotic items like vanilla in homemade chapstick to sooth your chapped lips. For this recipe you need:
  • 5 drops of vanilla flavor oil
  • 10 drops of lemon essential oil
  • ¼ teaspoon of vitamin E
  • 5 drops of warm sugar flavor oil
Melt all ingredients following the steps mentioned in previous recipes and stir the mixture until it cools down. Pour the chpastick liquid in chapstick containers and wait for them to cool down for use. You can also add little shimmer to your chapstick by using iridescent glitter.
