I’m convinced that YouTube chooses the most awkward moments to use as the “starting frame.” It’s a very complicated embarrassment algorithm. Very tricky.
Anyway:
Tip Nut Homemade Lip Balm – That’s where I found this recipe. LOVE TipNut. If you have an ish and she doesn’t have a tip for it, your troubles are deep and my sympathy is expressed.
Here’s a printable version of the way I made it here (along with a microwave option if you’d like).
Chocolate Chip Lip Balm
- 3 Tbsp grated or shaved cocoa butter
- 5 organic chocolate chips
- 1 vitamin E capsule, punctured and squeezed out
Double-Boiler Version: Add all ingredients to the top of your double boiler and melt while stirring well. Microwave version: Place all ingredients in a microwave-safe (preferably not plastic) bowl. Cook on high for 30 seconds, stir; repeat steps until all ingredients are melted. Transfer to a clean lip balm tube or tin. Let set for 2 hours (don’t touch!). Slather on at will.
If you make it – talk to me. I want to hear what you (and your daughters!) think.
Happy weekend, everybody!
Big, giant, crunchy love.
These might end up being in valentines for my kid’s teachers! Very cute and easy!
Your haircut is so cute! (As I both a long, narrow face and crazy waves in my possession, I do confess a little jealously towards those who can do the short hair thing with charm.)
I’m disappointed about this balm because it seems so wonderful. Howevs, I’m trying to give up unnatural sugars so I think wearing it would be too much of temptation.
Quick question: Do you know any online stores that stock cocoa or shea butter?
Super cute haircut!
And yes, Y
ouTube picks the worse pic. So rude!
You are so damn cute, woman ๐
I think I might just try this one!
this was lovely…and i did try putting cocoa on my body mixed with honey…it made my skin so soft and smooth and i was smelling chocolate till next day and my skin stayed that way for two days…..gonna do it again ๐
You are so cute! I can’t wait to try this…just a quick trip to the store after the sick kids get better….
This looks so easy and yummy! And it has the shortest list of ingredients too, which means it will be the first one I try! Yea! (and your haircut is amazing and your video was lots of fun too and I wish I had some cocoa butter right now dang it).
Now that we have the funk out of my house, I am loading the kids up in search of containers and shea butter (and probably some groceries would be wise too since we not supposed to eat the lip balm!). Just another crunchy betty recipe to add to the list that lives in my house. My skin says thank you by the way. A BIG FAT CRUNCHY THANK YOU!!!!!
ok, got the stuff, made the balm, now waiting not so patiently – 30 minutes should be long enough, right?!
So gonna try this!!! Thanks for this ๐ Now, I have looked but haven’t found a salt sccrub on your site…. did I over look one?
So gonna try this!!! Thanks for this ๐ Now, I have looked but haven’t found a salt scrub on your site…. did I over look one?
I tried making it but I used sweet almond oil and i didn’t pay attention to how much i put in…. now its too watery/oilish. gonna reheat it and add more cocoa butter to see what happens.
a really easy way to add something else I made to my homemade gift baskets for teachers, and a fairly cheap gift for friends and acquaintances.ย Thank you so much!
you are ace!!!
I loved this recipe, iยดve been watching many tutorials but this one is the best, so fast and easy.
It smells great too, thanks for the tutorial ๐
I already have chocolate chips the small ones but will Hershey Kisses be more better?
Thanks so much for the great video tutorial! Looking forward to making lip balm in assorted flavors this weekend. ๐
Could I subsutute coco butter for Shea? Cuz I already have Shea butter but if it won’t work I’ll go track down some coco butter.
I just made some. It was a lot easier to clean up then I thought it would be! ๐ but now I have to wait……………
Oh no!! Its been two hours and its not set! What did I do!?!?!
Oh my god! You are just too cute!!! I love this recipe, I’m going to try that very soon!! I’ve noticed that you don’t post as often as you used to, but I wish you did!!! I love ALL your posts! Thank you for your amazing work! And I love your little touch of humor in your posts!! Very fun! Thank you!
