If you don’t want to use beeswax or don’t have beeswax on hand, you can still make great lip balms! Coconut oil, shea butter, honey, and castor oil can all be used in different proportions to make lip balms. You can try making a simple lip balm with honey and coconut oil or shea butter, for example. You can also use gelatin powder to make sticky lipstick or make a moisturizing lip balm by combining oil and butter.
Steps
Make simple honey lip balm
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/2/2f/Make-Lip-Balm-Without-Beeswax-Step-1-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Make- Lip-Balm-Without-Beeswax-Step-1-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/2/2f/Make-Lip-Balm-Without- Beeswax-Step-1-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Make-Lip-Balm-Without-Beeswax-Step-1-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Place 1 tablespoon (15ml) of shea butter or coconut oil in a small saucepan. You can use twice as much ingredients if you want to make more lipstick. You can also use a water-bath steamer, which has a steaming rack placed on top of a pot below that holds boiling water. Be careful not to let the water in the pot reach the bottom of the steamer rack. The steamer will help the oil or butter heat up slowly and not burn. [1] X Research Source
- You can also put the ingredients in a heatproof bowl and heat in the microwave.
- Shea butter has a better moisturizing effect because it contains vitamin E, but coconut oil is also very moisturizing.

Melt the shea butter on the lowest heat. Since you only use a very small amount of shea butter, it burns very easily. When heating butter, watch carefully and keep the heat as low as possible. Don’t let the butter or coconut oil bubble, just let them melt. [2] X Research Source
- If using a microwave, start cooking for about 10 seconds then check, stir, and cook for another 5 seconds.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/f/f7/Make-Lip-Balm-Without-Beeswax-Step-3-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Make- Lip-Balm-Without-Beeswax-Step-3-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/f/f7/Make-Lip-Balm-Without- Beeswax-Step-3-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Make-Lip-Balm-Without-Beeswax-Step-3-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Add 1 tablespoon (15ml) of raw honey and 4-5 drops of essential oil. Remove the shea butter from the heat and wait 2-3 minutes for the butter to cool. Add honey and essential oils, stir until they are combined. [3] X Research Sources
- You can use menthol, rose, or citrus oils.
- If you don’t want to use honey, you can use castor oil, a vegetable oil, in an equivalent dose. Honey has a moisturizing and exfoliating effect on the lips; Castor oil is very hydrating and helps relieve dry lips.
- Instead of using essential oils, you can add a little cinnamon powder to your lipstick.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/1/11/Make-Lip-Balm-Without-Beeswax-Step-4-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Make- Lip-Balm-Without-Beeswax-Step-4-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/1/11/Make-Lip-Balm-Without- Beeswax-Step-4-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Make-Lip-Balm-Without-Beeswax-Step-4-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Pour the balm into the container and let it cool. You can use old lipstick bottles or existing small jars and jars, such as old mints, baby food jars, or old medicine bottles. Wait overnight for the lipstick to cool and thicken. [4] X Research Sources
- You can store lip balm at room temperature for a few months.
Make fruit gelatin balm
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/2/27/Make-Lip-Balm-Without-Beeswax-Step-5.jpg/v4-728px-Make-Lip-Balm- Without-Beeswax-Step-5.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/2/27/Make-Lip-Balm-Without-Beeswax-Step-5.jpg/ v4-728px-Make-Lip-Balm-Without-Beeswax-Step-5.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Melt 2 tablespoons (30ml) of coconut oil in the microwave. Start cooking for 15 seconds, if the oil is still not melted, cook for about 5 more seconds. Coconut oil needs to be hot enough to melt and activate the gelatin. They will not fuse together if they are still solid. You can also use coconut oil and petroleum jelly in equal proportions. [5] X Research Sources
- You should stir gently so that the coconut oil dissolves evenly. [6] X Research Source
- Coconut oil has a moisturizing effect, while petroleum jelly helps lock in moisture very well.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/3/33/Make-Lip-Balm-Without-Beeswax-Step-6.jpg/v4-728px-Make-Lip-Balm- Without-Beeswax-Step-6.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/3/33/Make-Lip-Balm-Without-Beeswax-Step-6.jpg/ v4-728px-Make-Lip-Balm-Without-Beeswax-Step-6.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Mix in 2 teaspoons (about 6g) of gelatin powder of your choice. Add the flour while the oil is still hot and stir. The heat will melt the gelatin and help the lipstick solidify well. [7] X Research Sources
- You can use any flavor you like, but be aware that gelatin will give the lip balm a slight tint. Raspberry, cherry or strawberry flavors will create a rose-red color. If you want to be a little different, you can use grape flavor for a purple lip balm or use blue raspberry for a bright blue lipstick. If you want to make a colorless lip balm, use unflavored gelatin.
- You can also use unsweetened gelatin, but use a little less. Try it out to find the right dosage!
- The main function of gelatin is to help lipstick solidify, in addition to the protein component in gelatin also brings many other benefits.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/6/6a/Make-Lip-Balm-Without-Beeswax-Step-7.jpg/v4-728px-Make-Lip-Balm- Without-Beeswax-Step-7.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/6/6a/Make-Lip-Balm-Without-Beeswax-Step-7.jpg/ v4-728px-Make-Lip-Balm-Without-Beeswax-Step-7.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Add 6-8 drops of essential oil to add fragrance to the lipstick. Although not required, this step will make the lipstick taste more unique. For example, try mixing lemon or mint with raspberry, grapefruit oil with cherry, or orange oil with grape gelatin and mix well. [8] X Research Sources
- Most citrus oils have antioxidant and antibacterial properties.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/5/5a/Make-Lip-Balm-Without-Beeswax-Step-8.jpg/v4-728px-Make-Lip-Balm- Without-Beeswax-Step-8.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/5/5a/Make-Lip-Balm-Without-Beeswax-Step-8.jpg/ v4-728px-Make-Lip-Balm-Without-Beeswax-Step-8.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Pour the mixture into a small jar to thicken. You can use an old lipstick case or any small jar, such as a baby food jar. Put the mixture in the refrigerator to cool for about 2-3 hours if you want the lipstick to freeze quickly or you can leave it out overnight. When the lipstick has cooled down and thickened, it can be used. [9] X Research Source
- If you want to pour lipstick into multiple lipstick cases, you can use an elastic band to tie the lipstick cases together, so it will be easier to pour.
- Lip balm can be stored for several months at room temperature because there is no water in the composition. However, if the lipstick has a strange smell or has mold, you should throw it away.
Make a moisturizing lip balm
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/1/16/Make-Lip-Balm-Without-Beeswax-Step-9.jpg/v4-728px-Make-Lip-Balm- Without-Beeswax-Step-9.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/1/16/Make-Lip-Balm-Without-Beeswax-Step-9.jpg/ v4-728px-Make-Lip-Balm-Without-Beeswax-Step-9.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Place castor oil, shea butter, and coconut oil in a small saucepan. You will use castor oil and shea butter 1 tablespoon (15ml) each, 2 tablespoons coconut oil (30ml) and pour it all into a saucepan. [10] X Research Source
- If desired, you can replace castor oil with petroleum jelly in equal doses. Oil wax has a good moisturizing effect, castor oil works to overcome chapped lips or lack of water. Both shea butter and coconut oil are moisturizing, but shea butter also contains vitamin E, which is great for the skin.
- If you don’t want to use shea butter, you can increase the amount of coconut oil.
- You can also heat these oils in the microwave, if so, pour them into a microwaveable bowl.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/4/46/Make-Lip-Balm-Without-Beeswax-Step-10.jpg/v4-728px-Make-Lip-Balm- Without-Beeswax-Step-10.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/4/46/Make-Lip-Balm-Without-Beeswax-Step-10.jpg/ v4-728px-Make-Lip-Balm-Without-Beeswax-Step-10.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Heat the saucepan over low heat to melt the oils. When the oil begins to heat up, stir occasionally to distribute the heat evenly. Lift the pan and turn off the heat when the coconut oil and shea oil have melted and blended together. [11] X Research Source
- If using a microwave, start cooking for about 15 to 10 seconds and check. Cook for an additional 5 seconds if the oils have not melted and come together.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/b/bf/Make-Lip-Balm-Without-Beeswax-Step-11.jpg/v4-728px-Make-Lip-Balm- Without-Beeswax-Step-11.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/b/bf/Make-Lip-Balm-Without-Beeswax-Step-11.jpg/ v4-728px-Make-Lip-Balm-Without-Beeswax-Step-11.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
After lifting the pan, you can add a few drops of your favorite essential oil. Use about 10-15 drops of citrus essential oil, such as grapefruit, lemon or orange essential oil for summer balm. If you like floral scents, you can use lavender or rose oil. [12] X Research Source
- Citrus essential oils have antioxidant and antibacterial properties.
- Clove oil and cinnamon essential oil are also very fragrant, but you should only use a few drops. These essential oils have a strong odor very quickly and have a warming effect on the lips.
- If you don’t have essential oils, you can use 1/4 packet of fruit powder, such as Kop-Aid or Crystal Light, to add color and flavor to your lipstick.
- For a natural color, add ¼ teaspoon (1.5g) of beetroot powder.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/5/5f/Make-Lip-Balm-Without-Beeswax-Step-12.jpg/v4-728px-Make-Lip-Balm- Without-Beeswax-Step-12.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/5/5f/Make-Lip-Balm-Without-Beeswax-Step-12.jpg/ v4-728px-Make-Lip-Balm-Without-Beeswax-Step-12.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Pour the lipstick into a small jar and let it cool. You can use old lipsticks, small mints, or other small jars. Let the lipstick cool overnight or put it in the fridge to cool it faster. [13] X Research Source
- When the lipstick cools and thickens, it can be used.
- The lipstick can be stored for several months at room temperature.
Advice
- If you don’t have coconut oil, you can use shea butter, cocoa butter, or wax.
- You can use extracts such as vanilla extract in place of essential oils, although these extracts may not dissolve very well.
Warning
- Be careful and always use kitchen gloves when handling hot pots and bowls.
