Calendula is well-known for its anti-inflammatory and skin-repairing properties, making it perfect for chapped or irritated lips. This DIY calendula lip balm is a rich recipe that softens dry lips and helps them heal faster, especially during harsh weather.

Making your own lip balm is simple. You get to choose every ingredient, control the quality, and skip the additives found in most store-bought versions. Plus, once you’ve made calendula-infused oil, you can use it for so much more — from healing salves to gentle creams and cuticle balms.

If you’re looking for a lip balm that feels as good as it is good for you, this homemade calendula balm is the perfect place to start.

This makes two soaps if using the same mold.
