This DIY lip balm is perfect for a fun Easter treat or as a non-candy basket stuffer!! Easter Egg Lip Balm is a fun way to give a useful surprise! Clean small plastic eggs make the perfect little case for this delicious 4 Ingredient Lip Balm!
I am a big fan of essential oils and natural health and beauty options. Â I have shared before my 4 Ingredient Lip Balm Recipe where I put it in tubes and little tubs. Â Using these small plastic eggs gives you that same awesome lip balm but in a super fun and Easter holiday-related container!
I picked up a package of the small plastic easter eggs and I washed them in soap and water. I am not sure this is necessary but since we are putting this on our lips, I thought it couldn’t hurt! Let them completely dry.
If your eggs have small holes in the bottom don’t worry. Place a piece of clear tape on the INSIDE of your egg covering the holes. I feel that by the time you would use the lip balm down to that level you are ready for a new one anyway so it won’t matter if the balm touches the tape. The tape just creates a barrier until your liquid balm can harden to a solid.

Supplies for Easter Egg Lip Balm:
- mini plastic Easter eggs
- Clear tape if needed
- Organic Beeswax
- Coconut Oil
- Vitamin E
- Essential Oils (I used Frankincense for this batch)
- Microwave safe measuring cup
First I washed my plastic eggs and as those were drying, I made my lip balm. I used the same recipe as my 4 ingredient lip balm however I used my softer balm method and added the extra tablespoon of coconut oil. You can find my complete recipe with tips and tricks in that post!
I used Frankincense Essential Oil for this batch. You can read more about how awesome Frank EO is here
Next, I realized that some of my eggs had small holes in the bottom so I used some clear tape to cover those holes from the inside of the egg. Â I tried one with the tap on the outside and because the shape of the egg it did NOT work! Â So the rest of the eggs got tape on the inside and those worked great.
Then I used an actual egg carton to open and position my empty, opened plastic eggs.
I filled the bottom half of each egg. Pour slow and fill pretty full. The liquid balm shrinks as it solidifies.
Then I let them sit on my counter until they hardened up. Which was no time at all. If your liquid mixture begins to harden just pop back in the microwave for a few and stir again.
Now you have some super cute Easter Lip Balms to gift and use for basket stuffers!
