DIY Natural Lip Balm: Orim’s 5-Minute Healing Recipe
Winter weather can be brutal on your lips. With temperatures dropping well below freezing, finding a lip balm that not only protects but actually heals your lips is essential. Many commercial lip balms only coat the lips at best or even irritate them at worst. The good news? Making your own healing natural lip balm at home is easy, fast, and sustainable thanks to Orim’s recipe.
In this guide, we’ll show you how to make your own DIY lip balm in just five minutes using five simple ingredients and how to combine it with KIIMA’s refillable lip balm applicator to reduce waste and enjoy an eco-friendly beauty routine.
Why Make Your Own Lip Balm?
Did you know that in the U.S. alone, over 200 million lip balm containers are thrown away every year? By making your own natural lip balm and using a reusable lip balm container, you can help reduce single-use waste while creating a product that actually heals.
Homemade lip balms allow you to choose ingredients that nourish, protect, and lock in moisture, giving your lips relief from dryness and cracking even in extreme cold.
Ingredients for Orim’s DIY Healing Lip Balm
Here’s what you’ll need to make Orim’s lip balm at home:
- 2 teaspoons beeswax or candelilla wax for structure and protection
- 2 teaspoons cacao butter for deep moisture and healing
- 2 teaspoons jojoba oil (Can be infused with calendula flowers for additional healing benefits - Optional)
- ½ teaspoon castor oil to lock in moisture
- ¼ teaspoon vitamin E oil to deeply heal and protect lips
Step-by-Step Guide to Making Orim’s Lip Balm
-
Set up a double boiler. Let the water boil and then reduce the heat to low.
-
Melt the wax and cacao butter. Stir until fully liquid.
-
Add the oils. Mix in the jojoba oil, castor oil, and vitamin E oil thoroughly.
-
Pour into molds. Use KIIMA’s lip balm molds for easy shaping. Let rest at room temperature for about an hour.

Once hardened, pop the lip balm out of the mold and put it into KIIMA’s refillable lip balm applicator. Turn the base 3 times, apply and enjoy.
