This green tea lip balm is deeply nourishing, lightly scented, and full of all-natural ingredients, just like our Lemon Balm Lip Balm for Cold Sores and DIY Lip Balm.

Green tea is the star here. Its antioxidants help protect and heal dry or chapped lips, while its gentle anti-inflammatory properties calm and restore.

What makes this recipe even better is that you know exactly what’s in it. No synthetic fragrances, no questionable additives — just clean, skin-loving ingredients you can trust. You can keep it simple or add your own twist with a drop of essential oil.

Once you try making your own lip balm, it’s hard to go back. Here’s how you can make it at home.

This makes around 8-10 lip balms.

Ingredients

Green tea leaves
Carrier oil
1 ½ tablespoons beeswax
½ tablespoon shea butter
Lip balm containers
3 tablespoons infused oil
Optional: 10 drops of essential oil

Instructions

Make a green tea-infused oil by adding green tea leaves halfway through in a glass jar. Fill the rest of the way with carrier oil. Leave for a few weeks and then strain.

Melt the infused oil, beeswax, and shea butter together.

Add in essential oils once it has cooled down a little bit.

Pour into lip balm containers.

And that’s it. Let it sit for a few hours before putting on the lid.
