Best Organic Lip Balm Recipe

This is the best organic lip balm recipe I’ve ever made.  This is an easy peasy organic lip balm recipe to make with ingredients you can pronounce.  No ick here!  You’ll find it less expensive than the store-bought equivalent too.  The ingredients for my best organic lip balm recipe are linked for you.  You’re going to love that this easy lip balm has only 4 ingredients!

This time I am making Lavender Peppermint Lip Balm.  This is my favorite, but feel free to experiment scents you like best.
