DIY Lime Beeswax Balm Recipe


There’s something satisfying about creating your own simple, nourishing balm with just a handful of ingredients. This easy recipe combines the firmness of beeswax, the rich moisturizing properties of shea butter, and the silky feel of babassu oil, finished with the brightness of lime essential oil. 

Before You Begin

Start by preparing a clean, organized workspace. Gather your ingredients, storage containers, and a double boiler setup before you begin. Having everything ready will make the process smoother, especially once the mixture is melted and ready to pour.

Ingredients

  • 1 part beeswax
  • 1 part shea butter
  • 1 part babassu oil
  • 10 drops lime essential oil

Directions

Measure the beeswax, shea butter, and babassu oil into the top portion of a double boiler. Place over gently simmering water and heat slowly, stirring occasionally as the ingredients melt together.

Continue stirring until the beeswax has completely melted and the mixture is smooth and uniform. Once everything is fully combined, remove the bowl from the heat.

Next, add the lime essential oil and stir thoroughly to ensure it is evenly distributed throughout the balm. Working quickly, pour the warm mixture into your prepared containers.

Allow the balm to cool and solidify completely before placing the lids on your containers.
