Give extra love to your lips with our lip scrub and lip balm DIY lip duo!
DIY lip balm and lip scrub set
The lip scrub is made with coconut oil, granulated sugar, and bits of freeze-dried raspberries. It’s perfect to gently exfoliate skin and to transform and regenerate dry, chapped lips.
The lip balm is made with hydrating shea butter and coconut oil to give lips a smooth and soft finish. Going with our Valentine’s lineup, we used raspberry and bubble gum candy oils to flavor the lip duo. Essential oils, such as peppermint, lavender, vanilla, or grapefruit are great options as well.
Decorated with free printable labels, the lip duo makes a romantic present for Valentine’s Day, a cute favor for bridesmaids, or a lovely DIY gift for someone in need of pampering.

Instructions
How to make lip scrub
You can also switch the freeze-dried raspberry with strawberries or cherries. The amounts of lip scrub and lip balm are enough to fill 5 to 6 15 ml pots each.
- Mix the ingredients. Add the coconut oil and granulated sugar into a small mixing bowl and mix with a fork or spoon until well combined and crumbly. Stir in the crushed raspberries and essential or candy oil and mix.
Tip: We don’t recommend melting the coconut oil, but you can soften it by heating it the microwave set to the lowest setting for 30 seconds to a minute. - Package the lip scrub. Spoon the lip scrub into the cosmetic pots or tins. Press the scrub into the tin to pack more product.
How to make lip balm
We used a small amount of pink lipstick to tint the lip balm. This ingredient is optional and a terrific way to use up leftover lipstick.
- Melt the ingredients. Add the shea butter, coconut oil, bee wax, and lip stick into a microwave-safe bowl. Melt in the microwave set to medium in one-minute intervals until bee wax is melted. Stir in between each interval and until perfectly blended.
- Add the essential oil. Once melted, stir 10 drops of essential or candy oil into the mixture.
- Package and chill the lip balm. Pour the lip balm into cosmetic pots or tins. Allow the lip balm to set, which takes an hour at room temperature or 20 minutes in the fridge. Once set, the lip balm looks opaque and satin-like.
Notes
How to use the lip scrub
Dampen lips with lukewarm water. Apply the lip scrub with your finger tips and gently exfoliate the lips in circular motions for 30 seconds to a minute. You can also use a soft
toothbrush to apply and spread the lip scrub. Use a damp wash cloth to remove left over. Pat lips dry and apply a lip balm. You can use the lip scrub once or twice a week.
How to use the lip balm
It’s best to use lip balm at room temperature. Take a small amount of lip balm and gently rub and massage it into your lips.
Print the gift labels
Print the labels on DIN A4 or letter size sticker paper or self-adhesive paper and cut out along the grey outline. Remove the backing of the paper and adhere to the designated lid or container. The labels come in different size giving you many options when choosing a pot or tin.
