How to Make EOS Lip Balm at Home

DIY EOS Lip Balm

EOS Lip balm has a huge following, and people just love their lip balm. It's a lighter formula that's more of a gloss than a balm, so it's perfect for daily use while you're out and about.

Personally, I love the shape. I am constantly losing the little plastic or cardboard tubes, but the unique EOS lip balm container shape is easier to find in my purse.

My daughter is also obsessed with this unique lip balm container and the product, so I wanted to learn how to make DIY EOS lip balm to make more flavors.

Can You Refill EOS Lip Balm?

Yes, you can refill your empty container and refill with a DIY EOS lip balm recipe. To do this, empty your container and clean it well.

Place the wheel part in the top of the container and screw them together. Then you can melt the ingredients and pour it into the mold.

Then when it sets up, snap the top into the bottom piece. Finally, unscrew the lid, and it should look as good as new.

Where to Buy Containers for DIY EOS Lip Balm

You can reuse your containers are using up the balm or buy empty sphere containers to use.

Personally, I don't bother refilling the containers. I'm all about reducing and reusing, but the oils make them hard to clean.

How to Flavor DIY EOS Lip Balm Recipe

I made mine a vanilla homemade EOS lip balm recipe, but you can make your own flavor. Here are some ideas to try:

• Essential Oils. For a natural flavor, try using essential oils. Be sure that you use skin safe essential oils and don't use more than 0.5 to 1 percent dilution. Use an essential oil dilution chart to calculate.
• Candy Flavoring. You can also use candy flavor oils like LorAnn flavor oils. These work really well and have a variety of flavors.
• Flavor Oils. You can also use flavor oils. These can be used for lip products and are available in a variety of fun flavors.
• Absolutes. Cocoa absolute and vanilla absolute can also be used.

You will need the following to learn how to make EOS lip balm at home:

• 1 1/2 teaspoon avocado oil
• 1 teaspoon beeswax pellets
• 1/2 teaspoon shea butter
• 5-8 drops vanilla essential oil
• 2 circle lip balm containers

Place the middle piece of the circle lip balm container into the lid and screw in place. It should click.

Place the avocado oil and beeswax in a small bowl. Microwave in 30 second intervals until melted or use a double boiler. Add the shea butter and stir until melted.

Add the flavoring or essential oils and stir well.

Pour the melted lip balm mixture into the containers. Fill until it touches the middle piece. If you overfill, it can leak and won't seal properly. Let cool completely.

Close the sphere lip balm container until you hear a slick. Flip it over and remove the cap. It's now ready to use.
