Honey Lotion Recipe

DIY Manuka Honey Lotion Recipe

What you need

¼ cup coconut oil (where to get it)½ cup shea butter (where to get it)2 tsp manuka honey (where to get it)10 drops lavender essential oil (where to get it)1 vitamin E capsule (where to get it)Double boiler (where to get it)Hand mixer (where to get it)Storage jar (where to get it)

Directions

Firs things first, gently melt down your coconut oil and shea butter in a double boiler. This will make both ingredients easy to work with as they are solid in their natural state.Once you’re done melting them, let the mixture cool down a bit then stir in your 2 tsp of manuka honey.Prick a vitamin E capsule with a safety pin carefully then squeeze out the oil into the mixture.Now place your mixture in the refrigerator for 15 minutes. This will make it partially solidify which facilitates easy whipping of the mixture into a lotion.Once then time is up, get it out and start whipping with a hand mixer until it turns white and creamy.When this happens, add your lavender essential oil and whip again until everything is well incorporated.Your DIY manuka honey lotion is ready! Scoop it up into sterilized glass jars and store in a cool dry place. It can last more than 6 months without going bad. That’s provided you don’t get any water/dirt/other contaminants into it.To use, get a suitable amount using clean fingers then rub it onto the affected area. Make sure the region you’re going to be applying the lotion is clean. You can also apply it on wet skin to seal in moisture.

Homemade Lipstick

Homemade Lipstick Recipe

1 teaspoon beeswax pastilles1 teaspoon Shea butter or Cocoa Butter1 teaspoon coconut oil

This base recipe will create a smooth, clear lipstick that is very moisturizing and protective. It is made from completely natural ingredients and is safe for us on the lips or skin. If you want, you can add color with the following add-ins to create a color of your choice.

Optional Color Add-Ins

For Red Hues: 1/8 teaspoon of beet root powder or 1 drop of natural red food coloring with no chemical additives. NOTE: Add these very slowly as a little goes a long way!For Brown/Tan Hues: 1/4 teaspoon (or more for color) of organic cocoa powder, a tiny pinch of cinnamon or turmeric to get the shade you wantFor a more Matte texture: 1/4 teaspoon bentonite clay– I use this with a color so it doesn’t leave a white tint on the lips.For Scent: A drop of essential oil of choice (optional)

Homemade Lipstick Instructions

Melt the beeswax, shea butter/cocoa butter and coconut oil in a glass jar without a lid in a small pot of simmering (not boiling) water. It should melt quickly because so little of each ingredient is used.

When melted, remove from heat and add any optional ingredients like color or scent. To get the hue in the picture above, I used a tiny pinch of beet root powder (1/8 tsp or less), 1/4 tsp cocoa powder, 1/8 tsp bentonite clay, 1/8 tsp cinnamon and a drop of peppermint essential oil (just because I like the smell). I think I added slightly more cocoa powder after mixing to darken it up slightly but I didn’t measure that one.

Once all ingredients are mixed well but still liquid, use a dropper to pour into the lip chap container. I used the glass dropper from an old tincture bottle. Fill just below the top as it will expand slightly as it cools. Leave to cool for at least half an hour. Store in a cool place (under 80 degrees) or it will soften.

Enjoy!

Herb Infused Lip Balm

For this homemade lip balm, I chose to make herb-infused olive oil for my base oil. This is simple to do, but it does add another step to the recipe. You can skip this step, but I think it’s worth doing because herb infused olive oil adds another dimension of healing to this homemade lip balm. The mint is cooling and soothing on dry lips and the lemon balm is healing and acts as an antiviral to help ward off germs and prevent cold sores (if you’re prone to them). So, although it’s an extra step, again I think it’s worth it. 

 

 

 

How to Make Herb-Infused Olive Oil for the Lip Balm Recipe (the “quick method”): 

1/2 cups olive oil1/8 cup dried peppermint1/8 cup dried lemon balm

In a double boiler add the olive oil and herbs and keep on a low heat for 4-5 hours, ensuring to keep the oil temperature under 120 deg F, this helps keep the integrity of the herbs. 

Once your olive oil is lovely and fragrant, strain out the herbs and set the oils aside. The oil will soon become the base of your lip balm recipe.

Finally, it’s time to gather your ingredients and get on to the DIY lip balm recipe! Below are the supplies and ingredients that you will need:

1/2 cup olive oil (I recommend using the herb-infused olive oil from the method above)1/2 oz beeswax ( have a little extra nearby if you like a thicker lip balm.)5 tbsp beet powder (OPTIONAL: you’ll end up using 3-5 tbsp depending on the level of color you like)5 drops Carrot seed oil (this adds a bit of natural sun protection for your lips)10 drops Peppermint essential oil (classic, cooling effect and flavor)5 drops Rosemary essential oil (mimics the classic “Burt’s” flavor that everyone loves)

In your double boiler, warm the olive oil and beeswax on low until fully melted. Add essential oils and turn the heat down to as low as possible. Allow the melted lip balm mixture to stay warm on the stove for 5-10 mins while you set up your tubes. 

 

 

OPTIONAL BUT FUN: How to Make Tinted Lip Balm

 

I decided to add a little flare by making a tinted lip balm. I used beet powder to tint the base lip balm recipe. I found that the beet powder added a sweet flavor as well as soft, natural color to the tinted lip balm recipe. I am really happy with the result.

Beetroot powder can be found at most health food shops or online. It is great for using as a natural colorant or adding to smoothies for a deep earthy and slightly sweet flavor.

 

To make tinted lip balm simply add 4-5 tablespoon of beet powder to your warm lip balm recipe from above, allow it to stay warm in the double boiler for 5-10 mins, then strain with your fine sieve, to filter out any large beet partials. 

 

This tinted lip balm will have a transparent, glossy, merlot color to it. It’s defiantly more of a tinted lip gloss than a true lipstick, which is what I wanted. 🙂

 

How to Package Your Homemade Lip Balm

 

When it comes to packaging your homemade lip balm, you have a few options. I had some .5 oz tins on hand, which I considered using, but I knew that I was going to tint this homemade lip balm, so I didn’t want the hassle of dealing with getting tinted lip balm on my finger and having to find somewhere to wipe it off every time 🙁 They work great for an untinted lip balm recipe.

I opted for clear plastic lip balm tubes, they were affordable, BPA free and easy to find on amazon.ca. They do the trick, they are easy to fill and affordable enough to give them away as gifts.  But I will definitely try to source some paper tubes in the future!

OH YEAH!  How Do You Actually Fill the Lip Balm Tubes??? 

 

I used a simple plastic pipette to fill the tubes. Simply suck up some of the warm liquid lip balm into the pipette and quickly fill the lip balm tube to the top. You will need to work quickly for this process, but it is the easiest, no mess method that I have found.

 

 

Store your homemade lip balm as usual, in a cool place, out of direct sunlight. Remember, it’s really just oil and wax so it will melt in the hot car… trust me 🙁

 

Herb Infused Balm

HOW TO MAKE HERB-INFUSED BALMS

For the past few weeks I have been infusing several herbs on my windowsill using the ‘solar method’. There doesn’t seem to be any sort of precise measurement for how much oil and how many herbs are needed, but here are the rough instructions:

Place a handful or two of dried herbs in a clean, dry jar (make sure it’s completely dry – you don’t want mold to start growing) and cover the herbs with oil. I used olive oil and almond oil, but any carrier oil will work. Seal the jar and keep it in a sunny place for a couple of weeks. Give it a shake every so often. After its time in the sun, strain the oil with cheesecloth, squeezing every bit of oil out of the herbs.

I made several infusions:

Calendula for a general healing salve (great for diaper cream too)Rose + chamomile for calming and soothing – perfect for just before bedtime.Peppermint + lavender for headaches

After the oil is ready, it’s time to turn it into a balm. Which is totally simple because you’re basically just combining the oil with beeswax.

PEPPERMINT + LAVENDER HEADACHE BALM

The basic ratio of oil to beeswax I used was 2 tablespoons of beeswax for each 1/4 cup of oil. More oil will make a creamier balm, while more beeswax will make it more solid. So if you find the consistency isn’t right for you, you can melt it down again and add more oil or beeswax.

Combine the oil and beeswax either in a saucepan or use a metal bowl as a makeshift double broiler. Either way, I would highly recommend picking one pan or bowl and designating it for this sort of purpose. You don’t want to eat beeswax remnants the next time you make soup.

Melt the oil and beeswax together over low heat. When the beeswax is melted, pour into a clean jar or container. Add a few drops of essential oil if you want a stronger scent. Let salve cool and harden.

ROSE + CHAMOMILE CALMING BALM

I’m generally too impatient to wait weeks for something to be ready, but seeing the pretty herbs on the windowsill was such a treat each day.
