Ingredients:
9g (about 1.5 tsp) coconut oil
4g (about 1 tsp) beeswax
1.5g (about 1/2 tsp) sunflower oil (or other carrier oil)
3-6 drops Bergaptene-Free Bergamot essential oil
a few drops of vitamin E oil (optional)
Tools:
2 chapstick tubes or lip balm type containers
a saucepan and a small heat proof bowl OR a double boiler
spatula
a kitchen scale (optional, but useful)
Instructions:
1. Place beeswax, coconut oil, and sunflower oil (or other carrier oil such as jojoba, sweet almond, olive oil, etc.) in a double boiler or a heatproof bowl on top of a saucepan of simmering water. Stir gently until all are completely melted.
2. Remove from heat and stir in vitamin E oil and essential oil.
Carefully (but quickly) pour the liquid oil mixture into chapstick tubes and allow to sit until the product has completely cooled. (For faster results move the tubes to the fridge after it’s begun to solidify.)
3. When the lip balm is completely cool, cap it and apply liberally as needed! Your lip balm should be good for about 6 months to a year (depending on the freshness of your ingredients.)
