So Nutella Lip Balm is a thing, that takes just three simple ingredients to make. Picture: Youtube.
THE chocolate heavens have answered our prayers. You can now go all day with the taste of Nutella on your lips, thanks to this DIY balm recipe — and it is delicious.
Yes, Nutella lip balm is a thing, and it takes just three ingredients and a few spare minutes to make in your own home.
Start by using a REVO lip balm, which sells in Priceline, Woolworths and Big W for $5. Then, scoop out the balm and set aside so you’re left with an empty container in front of you.

To make sure all of the balm is out of the container, including the very base, simply remove the grate that separates the top from the bottom of the container with a knife or spoon. Continue scraping out the balm until every last piece has been removed.

Once the container is empty, it’s time to mix up the three ingredients. Start by putting one tablespoon of beeswax chips in to a heatproof jar or cup. If you don’t have the beeswax, use one plain white tealight candle (chopped up) instead. Follow up with a heaped tablespoon of Nutella, and then two or three tablespoons of coconut oil — which can be purchased from most supermarkets.
One of the main ingredients in Nutella is palm oil, which combines well with coconut oil to give a highly moisturising balm for the lips. But this balm is not edible! While beeswax is non-toxic, it is not intended for human consumption — so use on your lips only.

Next, heat the mixture in a shallow pot of boiling water until all ingredients are combined.
Put the grate from the base of the REVO container so it is sitting on the lid, then pour into the empty container, until it just covers the grate.

Place the Nutella filled half of the container into the freezer for 10 minutes or until firm.
Snap the base of the REVO container in to the Nutella filled half, and you have the tastiest lip balm ever.
