How to Make Homemade Beetroot Lip Balm with Fresh Beetroot Juice
Step 1: Extract Beetroot Juice
Peel and chop the beetroot into small pieces.
Blend the beetroot with a little water to form a smooth paste.
Strain the mixture through a fine cloth or sieve to extract the juice. Make sure the juice is as concentrated as possible, as this will give the lip balm its color.
Step 2: Prepare the Balm Base
In a small heatproof bowl, add the coconut oil, shea butter (or cocoa butter), and beeswax.
Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method) and gently heat until all the ingredients melt together.
Stir the mixture well to combine all the oils and wax.
Step 3: Add Beetroot Juice
Once the oils and wax have melted, remove the bowl from heat.
Gradually stir in the fresh beetroot juice, adding a few drops at a time. Mix thoroughly after each addition to ensure the juice blends well with the balm base.
Continue adding beetroot juice until you achieve the desired color intensity. Be careful not to add too much liquid, as it can affect the balm’s texture.
Step 4: Optional – Add Essential Oil
