Ingredients:
- Beeswax pellets, 1 tablespoon
- Shea butter, 1 tablespoon
- Coconut oil, 1 tablespoon
- Lemon essential oil, 10-15 drops
- Lip balm tubes or small containers
Instructions:
- In a small double boiler, melt the beeswax, shea butter, and coconut oil over low heat until completely melted and combined.
- Remove from heat and stir in the lemon essential oil.
- Pour the mixture into lip balm tubes or small containers.
- Allow the lip balm to cool and harden slightly, but not completely, before gently stirring or blending to create a soft and smooth texture. You can use a small mixer, blender, or whisk to achieve this.
- Once the mixture has reached your desired texture, allow it to cool and harden completely before using.
- Cap the tubes or containers and store in a cool, dry place.
Nic Tip: To give this lip balm a refreshing twist, you can add 1-2 drops of peppermint essential oil to the mixture. Adjust the amount of essential oil to your liking, and feel free to experiment with other natural flavorings and scents.
