Embrace the beauty of simple, soul-soothing rituals from your own kitchen
In today’s fast-paced world, there’s something deeply grounding about slowing down to create your own wellness tools by hand. At Lovimco, we believe healing begins in the everyday choices we make—and sometimes, those choices look like stirring a pot of melted beeswax, blending herbs in a jar, or soaking in a bath you made yourself.
This blog series is your invitation to craft your own wellness from scratch—faith-rooted, handmade, and full of intention.
DIY #1: Nourishing Lip Balm with Beeswax & Essential Oils
Perfect for: Dry lips, gift packs, and teaching kids about natural body care
What you’ll need:
- 2 tbsp beeswax pellets
- 2 tbsp shea butter
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
- 6 drops lavender essential oil
- 3 drops peppermint essential oil
- Small glass pots or lip balm tubes
How to make it:
- In a double boiler (or a bowl over simmering water), melt beeswax, shea butter, and coconut oil.
- Once melted, remove from heat and stir in essential oils.
- Quickly pour into lip balm containers before it begins to set.
- Let cool for 30 minutes before sealing with lids.
Why we love it: This blend protects and soothes without the petroleum base of store-bought lip balms. Lavender calms irritation, while peppermint gives a refreshing tingle.
