Let’s learn how to make chapstick with shea butter with only 2 ingredients today! My chapstick recipe is guaranteed to take you less than 10 minutes to make. Using this regularly will deeply hydrate your lips, leaving them soft, supple, and utterly kissable.
Whether I want to give my chapped lips a little TLC, or look a little put-together for a quick grocery run, or want my matte lipstick to last longer without cracking, I automatically reach out for my trusty homemade chapstick.
One other benefit of making your own lip balm is that is it very cost-efficient and makes great gifts!
The beauty industry really hit the jackpot when they discovered the benefits of shea butter for the skin, including the lips. Rich in fatty acids, vitamins, and antioxidants, shea butter is the perfect moisturizing agent. Vitamins A and E work to provide ample hydration to heal and prevent chapped lips. Shea butter is also highly emollient, allowing it to penetrate and lock in moisture.
Its nutrient-rich content helps provide intense moisture to the lips, leaving them soft and supple.
It targets chapped and damaged lips and contains natural emulsifiers that help moisture retention.
(optional)
Heals cracked lips and offers a soothing, cooling, and calming effect. Plus it leaves a little tingle on your lips that it always fun!
A very basic chapstick recipe is to melt shea butter and wax together. Pour it in a container and let it solidify before you apply it.
If you don’t have beeswax, candelilla wax can work as a good alternative.

It’s super easy to make chapstick with shea butter, follow my instructions below, and you’re surely going to love it!
If you like me and it looks like a hurricane went through the kitchen every time you make something DIY, I suggest you get one of those very handy lip balm container tray kit. It will hold your lip balm containers while you pour the warm liquid wax and will avoid you to spill it everywhere and make a hot mess!
You can get a lip balm tray kit here on amazon here.
Otherwise, you will have to rely on your balancing and patience skills while filled each empty lip balm tubes. Its doable but if you are making a lot of lip balm at once, the tray kit is defenitely helpful.
Hydrate yourself! It’s very important that you treat yourself from within for the results to show on your lips.
Other than this, regularly exfoliating your lips with a natural scrub, and moisturizing them with this homemade chapstick is surely going to help make your lips pinker and plumper.

Its basically a little fabric pouch you attached to your key chain and then insert your favorite homemade lip balm. That way you should be able to always know where your lip balm is, hehe!
You can buy one already made if you are lazy like me…I love those natural burlap bags, they make great reusable gift packaging.
