Lip Stain makes a perfect DIY project because the color and scent combinations are completely customizable, and they only contain a few ingredients. No long labels with big words to wade through here! The following four combinations use dōTERRA Lemon, Lavender, Peppermint and Grapefruit. (Be careful experimenting with other oils; your lips are extremely sensitive and will appreciate wise selections!)
Lemon-Cherry: 5 cherries, 1 drop dōTERRA Lemon oil, 1 teaspoon Fractionated Coconut Oil
Lavender-Blackberry: 5 blackberries, 1-2 drops dōTERRA Lavender oil, 1 teaspoon Fractionated Coconut Oil
Raspberry-Blackberry Peppermint: 5 blackberries, 5 raspberries, 2 drops dōTERRA Peppermint oil, 1 teaspoon Fractionated Coconut Oil
Pomegranate-Grapefruit: 2-3 tablespoons, pomegranate seeds, 1 drop dōTERRA Grapefruit oil, 1 teaspoon Fractionated Coconut Oil
Got your ingredients gathered together for your chosen flavor? Great. Now follow these instructions:
Place your chosen fruit and essential oil into a small bowl. Add coconut oil and mash the fruit into a soupy mixture. Drain the liquid into an airtight container, removing any chunks. Store in refrigerator for long-term use. Because there is no preservative you will want to store it in fridge when not in use and discard after 2 to 4 weeks. Apply a layer or two to lips and enjoy your gorgeous and custom-made natural lip stain!
Voila! Now let’s learn how to mix up a batch of Orange Creamsicle Lip Balm. You’ll need:
½ ounce beeswax
½ ounce coconut oil
¼ ounce shea butter
¼ ounce cocoa butter
30 drops dōTERRA Wild Orange
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Place everything but Wild Orange and vanilla into glass measuring cup or bowl. Fill large saucepan with one to one-and-a-half inches of water. Bring to boil. Once boiling, place glass measure cup in center of saucepan. Stir every few minutes until ingredients have melted and are combined. Once all wax is melted, remove from heat and let sit three minutes. Add vanilla extract and dōTERRA Wild Orange oil. Pour mixture into lip balm containers and cool. Even with no preservative this will store indefinitely because there is no water or fruit in it.
