We use to buy chapstick until we realized searching for a natural one and then paying $3 just wasn’t worth it. Finally, we decided “hey…we can do this.” And we have. We now have our own stock and it takes no time at all to make.
After doing the math this comes down to less than a dollar a stick.
**Don’t want to make your own? Grab some in our store!**
You need:
- 1 Ounce beeswax
- 2 Tablespoon coconut oil
- 4 Drops peppermint oil
- Crockpot
Let’s Begin:
Place your beeswax and oil in the crockpot until it is melted.
Then add the essential oils.
Pour this mixture into your chapstick containers.
And you have chapstick!
It really is that simple! After your done just clean up with hot water — and I mean right after your done before it hardens.

How many containers of chapstick does this make?
Just a question with the crockpot, is it ok after cleaning it to still make meals in it? I assume so,just a question. It May seem dumb to ask such. Thanks.
It seems much better than store bought. Now I need some bees wax.
Chapstick is my weakness. 🙂 Do you order the containers online? I have never seen them in a store. Do you mind sharing where you buy them from?

This is one of the easiest recipes I’ve ever seen for chapstick. And you can still change up the flavors and colors as well. I love it! I try to do pretty much everything homemade. Pretty crunchy, I know, but it’s super fun!
I know they carry the containers at Michael’s here in town.
This recipe looks great and easy. Thanks for posting.
How does this hold up with storing in your pocket.. My hubby uses chapstick regularly but worried about it melting?
Thanks for the recipe. I will try this! I have searched for all natural chapstick too, and this looks perfect!
I have never used oils before. Where canI find them?

I have just came across this and so want to make it. I am wanting to get into diy products. I use chap stick everyday and I’m always applying it through out the day. My lips get a burn feeling when I don’t use a good brand like Polysporin. Would this give give moisture our would I need to look further for something with more oils added?
Thanks
