Lip Balm

By michele080478

Ingredients

• 1 Tbsp grated beeswax or beeswax pearls
• 1/8 c. coconut oil
• 1/2 Tbsp shea butter
• 1/2 Tbsp cocoa butter
• 1/2 tsp honey
• 1 tsp cocoa powder
• 1/8 tsp vitamin E oil (or 2 punctured, squeezed out vitamin E capsules)
• 3 drops essential oil

Preparation

Step 1

Place the shea and cocoa butters in a small pot or double boiler, and add the coconut oil. Heat over VERY low heat for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. (Try not to let the mixture go over 175 degrees, or the shea butter could end up a little gritty.) Add the beeswax and stir well. After the beeswax has completely melted, remove the mixture from the heat and add the essential oil, honey, vitamin E, and cocoa powder, whisking well the whole time. After everything is incorporated and smooth, transfer to a lip balm tube or tin and allow to set for 3 hours.
