Ingredients

  • 4 tbsp Beeswax
  • 2 tbsp Shea Butter
  • 1.5 tbsp Coconut Oil
  • ~30 drops Essential Oil/Flavor extract of choice

Instructions

  1. Using a double boiler, melt the Beeswax, Shea Butter and Coconut Oil.
  2. Remove mixture from heat and add Essential Oils and/or flavoring of your choice. Add small amounts at a time until you achieve the desired potency.
  3. Check consistency (optional); adjust as needed
  4. Pour into lip balm tubes
  5. Allow to cool completely before capping

Recipe Notes

If you're not sure the consistency is what you're looking for or want to check the scent/flavor, pour a small amount of the mixture onto a piece of waxed paper and put it in the fridge and put the pot with the rest of the mixture back into the double boiler to keep it warm. After a few minutes, take the sample out of the fridge and test it out. If it's good to go, simply pour the rest of the mixture into the waiting tubes.

If you need to adjust, do so in small amounts and check again until you find the perfect blend.
