Ingredients:
15g (about 1 T) coconut oil
3g (about 1 tsp) olive oil
8g (about 2 tsp) fine beetroot powder
1g (about 1/2 tsp) cocoa butter
2g (about 1/2 tsp) beeswax
a few drops of vitamin E oil (optional)
Tools:
small lip balm type container (about 10mL)
a saucepan and a small heat proof bowl OR a double boiler
spatula
coffee filter or cheesecloth
a small bowl
a kitchen scale (optional, but useful)
Instructions:
1. Place coconut oil and olive oil (or other shiny carrier oil such as castor oil) in a double boiler or a heatproof bowl on top of a saucepan of simmering water. Stir gently until all are completely melted.
2. Add beetroot powder and stir to incorporate, breaking up any small clumps. Allow oils and beetroot to infuse for about 30 min- 1 hour, keeping the water at a low simmer and stirring occasionally.
3. Remove from heat and wipe any water from the bottom of the bowl. Carefully pour the mixture into a coffee filter or a piece of cheesecloth on top of a small bowl. Let this cool for just a moment until it is cool enough to handle. Carefully squeeze the oil out of the filter into the bowl. You should end up with approximately 10g of pink oil.
4. Wipe your heatproof bowl with a rag or paper towel to remove any remaining sediment. Now add the cocoa butter and beeswax to your double boiler and allow these to melt together. Pour the pink oil into the butter and wax mixture and stir to incorporate.
5. Remove the bowl from the pot of simmering water and again wipe any water from the bottom of the bowl. Add a few drops of vitamin E oil (if using) and stir.
6. Now, pour the mixture into a clean lip balm container and allow to set up until completely cool!
