DIY Tinted Lip Balm
My daughter and I love using tinted lip balm so I decided to make our own (since I’m an essential oils addict, it only made sense to make our own tinted lip balm!). This DIY All-Natural Tinted Lip Balm Every Girl Should Know About will change the way you look at using toxic, chemical-filled tinted lip balm going forward. If you take the time to look at the ingredients on some of your beauty products, I bet you will find ingredients that aren’t natural. It makes my skin crawl that everyday bath and beauty products are loaded with chemicals (also that they are so expensive to buy when you can easily make them at home for dirt cheap!).

WHAT ARE ESSENTIAL OILS
It’s okay if you aren’t entirely sure what essential oils are and their purpose – I didn’t either until 2016, however, I wish I knew about them 20 years ago!
Essential Oils are natural oils extracted from plants and trees. From Young Living’s Website: “Extracted through careful steam distillation, resin tapping, and cold pressing, the purest essential oils are far more powerful than the botanical from which they come.
Essential oils have enhanced lives for thousands of years, offering a variety of benefits from cosmetic and dietary purposes to spiritual and religious use.”
You can use essential oils topically, inhale them, or ingest them. When applied topically, the oils travel through your bloodstream and every cell in your body in about 20 minutes.
You can inhale essential oils by diffusing them or simply inhaling directly from the bottle. Some oils can be ingested by adding a few drops to beverages, food or in a capsule. I’ve personally experienced major positive health changes by ingesting essential oils after discovering I had an overactive thyroid and Graves Disease.

DIY All-Natural Tinted Lip Balm
I’m sharing this recipe because I believe everyone should try using essential oils. I used to be one of those people that thought essential oils were a joke (I thought they were used to make things smell good and that’s about it). I didn’t know they support health and wellness or would change the way I use many pre-made products going forward.
This homemade All-Natural Tinted Lip Balm Using Essential Oils is quick and easy to make (even if you are just starting to use essential oils and want to make your own natural products). I made my tinted lip balm using lip balm tubes but you can also use lip balm tins if that’s your preference.
Printable Labels
The printable labels can be printed on any color cardstock. I used pink and teal cardstock as shown below. The printable labels with fun hashtags are included in my eBook, 50 All-Natural Skin Care Solutions Using Essential Oils. #SWEETLIPS on the label!
Right now you can get the Tinted Lip Balm labels for FREE in my mini eBook, 5 All-Natural Skin Care Solutions Using Essential Oils. The free mini eBook includes recipes and printable labels compiled into one easy-to-read resource with recipes for Natural Bubble Bath, Moisturizing Shampoo, Tinted Lip Balm, Dry-Shampoo Spray, and Wrinkle-Reducing Face Cream.

1.5 tbsp. Pure Beeswax Pellets (this large bag will help produce lots of lip balm!)
2.5 tbsp. Organic Coconut Oil
12 drops (or more for stronger) of your favorite Essential Oils
Rose Mica powder (I also used Cocoa Powder and a tiny bit of mica powder for brown)
Printable Labels (get the ones pictured in my new eBook below or try these)
Instructions:
- Melt oil and beeswax together in a glass bowl in the microwave until liquefied.
- Add essential oils to the mix.
- Fill lip balm containers (use a baby medicine syringe or roller ball syringe). Tip: try to be fast while filling the containers. You don’t want the mixture to solidify while you are filling the containers ?
- Let cool until set.
- Attach labels to lip balm containers.
Get creative with the scents! I used Vanilla and Orange Essential Oil in the brown lip balm. I used Grapefruit Essential Oil in the pink lip balm.
Of course, my daughter wanted both colors after I made these 🙂 Keep in mind these will not show up very dark when applied to your lips. I don’t like dark color on my lips so these add the perfect amount of sheen and a bit of sparkle from the mica powder. If you don’t have mica powder, you could try Bare Minerals powder.
WHERE TO BUY ESSENTIAL OILS
I only use Young Living essential oils because of the quality and their method of distilling produce the best essential oils available on the market today. In fact, Young Living has a Seed to Seal guarantee that surpasses any other oil company’s guarantee of the quality and purity of their oils. Now, I don’t know about you, but I’d rather pay a little more guaranteed quality oils than paying a little less for cheap oils that may or may not provide the same benefit.
Also, Do Not Buy Young Living Essential Oils from Amazon, eBay or other third-party sites.
The reason I only buy oils directly from Young Living is the same reason I wouldn’t buy a designer handbag from the back of a van on a street corner. It’s probably not the real thing or has been tampered with in some way. You wouldn’t want to apply or ingest an “oil” that someone put something strange in or receive a bottle of “water” instead of oil (trust me, this happens all the time!). Please don’t be the one that gets scammed by buying essential oils anywhere other than Young Living!
Now that that’s out of the way, here are few more facts & benefits that Young Living offers:
- YL offers many membership benefits, including monthly essential oils, rewards programs to earn FREE product
- Young Living is also the only essential oil company that is approved by the FDA with a special line of Vitality oils and products
