If you’ve ever wished for lips that look naturally rosy and feel super smooth, you’re going to fall in love with this simple homemade beetroot lip balm! Forget chemicals and store-bought tints—this all-natural recipe brings out your best pout with just a few ingredients you probably already have at home.

Why Beetroot for Lips?

Beetroot isn’t just healthy to eat—it’s a beauty powerhouse! Here’s why you’ll love using beetroot on your lips:

Natural Color: Beetroot gives your lips a gorgeous, natural pink/red tint that flatters every skin tone.
Nourishment: It’s rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals to nourish and protect your delicate lip skin.
Chemical-Free: No artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives—just pure goodness!

Ingredients You’ll Need

1 small beetroot (fresh)
1 tablespoon coconut oil (or shea butter)
1 teaspoon beeswax (optional, for a firmer balm)
1 teaspoon honey (optional, for extra moisture)
A small clean container or empty lip balm jar

Step-by-Step Recipe

Step 1: Prepare the Beetroot Juice

Peel and chop the beetroot into small pieces.
Place the pieces in a blender or food processor and blitz until smooth.
Strain the puree using a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth, collecting the bright red juice in a small bowl. (This is your natural color!)

Step 2: Melt the Base

In a small heatproof bowl, add coconut oil (and beeswax if using).
Place the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (double boiler method) and gently heat until melted.
Stir well to combine. If you’re using honey, add it now and mix until smooth.

Step 3: Mix In the Beetroot Juice

Remove the melted oil/beeswax from the heat.
Add 1 to 2 teaspoons of beetroot juice to the oil mixture. Stir quickly and thoroughly so it blends together.
(Optional) Add a drop of essential oil (like peppermint or vanilla) for scent.

Step 4: Pour and Set

Quickly pour the mixture into your clean lip balm container or small jar.
Let it cool at room temperature or place it in the fridge for faster setting.
Once set, your DIY beetroot lip balm is ready to use!

How to Use

Use a clean fingertip or lip brush to apply a small amount to your lips.
Layer for deeper color.
Reapply as needed for extra moisture and tint.

Pro Tips

For a glossier finish, use more coconut oil. For a firmer, longer-lasting balm, add more beeswax.
Store in a cool, dry place away from sunlight.
Use within 2-3 weeks for best freshness (no preservatives).

Making your own beetroot lip balm is fun, easy, and gives you the healthiest, prettiest pout ever—no filters needed! Plus, it makes a cute DIY gift for friends and family.
