How to Make a Matcha Lip Balm

We love seeing everyone's different uses for our mini matcha pots after they have finished enjoying what’s inside! Here we have a super simple lip balm & lip scrub recipe by bugs & birds. You can use any flavour matcha for this recipe!

Raspberry Ripple Matcha Lip Balm:

• Raspberry Ripple Matcha (or whatever flavour of matcha you would like)
• Coconut Oil
• Mini Matcha Tin

Buttermint Matcha Lip Scrub:

• Buttermint Matcha (or whatever flavour of matcha you would like)
• Sugar
• Peppermint essential oil
• Almond oil
• Mini Matcha Tin

For the Raspberry Ripple Matcha Lip Balm:

1. Melt 3 teaspoons of coconut oil.
2. Place in a small bowl with 1 teaspoon of matcha & mix until all the lumps have gone.
3. Carefully pour into the mini matcha tin & pop in the fridge to set for 30 minutes.
4. Use as required - be careful when removing the lid if you keep your lip balm in your pocket or in a hot car – it may have melted, just let it cool down & it will set again.
   

For the Buttermint Matcha Lip Scrub:

1. Melt 2 teaspoons of coconut oil.
2. Place in a small bowl & mix with 1 teaspoon of matcha until all the lumps have gone.
3. Add 4 drops of almond oil & mix.
4. Add peppermint essential oil 6-8 drops (or until it reaches your desired strength) & mix.
5. Add 1 teaspoon sugar, mix.
6. Carefully spoon into mini matcha tin & pop in the fridge to set for approx 30mins.
7. The scrub won't completely set but will firm up.
8. Use as required – the skin on your lips is very delicate, so you only need to use a little of this scrub at a time: buff your lips gently with the scrub then gently wipe off to be left with beautifully soft, exfoliated lips!
   

Enjoy!
