Is it safe to make crayon lipstick?
Yes, absolutely! Crayons are actually non-toxic and are safe for any application since they are made for little kids to enjoy! I’m sure your curiosity is really taking over, so without further ado, let’s start the DIY crayon lip balm tutorial!
1. Prep the crayons
Remove the paper from each crayon with a sharp blade or knife. Then, break the crayon into four pieces.
2. Melt the ingredients
Add water to a large, flat pan and bring it to a consistent boil. Then, place a little bowl in the middle.
As for the rest of the DIY crayon lipstick ingredients, all you’ll need is around ½ a tablespoon of coconut oil. Add it to the little bowl and let it melt.
Next, take ⅓ of the crayon and let it melt into the coconut oil.
Keep testing to see that you get to the desired color, texture, and consistency for your DIY crayon lip balm. If you’re not satisfied, then add more crayon pieces to the mixture.
While you’re at it, you can go ahead and make a few more colors because, why not?
Tip: if you want to make a lightly tinted lip balm, add more coconut oil and fewer crayon pieces.
3. Store the DIY lipstick
Once you're happy with the consistency, pour the mixture into a container. As you can see, I’ve got my recycling game on as I’m using contact cases for storage!
