Materials:

• 1 ½ TSP coconut oil
• 1 ¾ TSP sweet almond oil
• 1 TBS beeswax pellets

*Optional:

• Castor oil, for shine.
• Essential oils, for scent and flavor (about 6 drops)
• Beet root powder, for pink color (up to ½ TBS)
• Alkanet root powder, for color (up to ½ TBS) *if used in combination with beet root powder will give lip balm a red color. *

Tools:

• ​Glass measuring cup (2 cup or larger) 
• Lip balm tins
• Labels 

Instructions:

1. Prep your lip balm tins on a tray or paper towel.
2. Place the coconut oil, avocado oil, and beeswax in a Pyrex measuring cup.
3. Microwave for 30 seconds and stir. Repeat, stirring every time, until the beeswax is completely melted.
4. Add essential oils or color powders, if using, and stir in thoroughly.
5. Pour into tubes or tins and allow to cool for about an hour.
   
6. Label and enjoy!

Notes:

• For glossy lip balm, replace the avocado oil with 1 Tablespoon of avocado oil and ½ teaspoon of castor oil.

 

• Use a little more beeswax if you prefer a thicker lip balm, or slightly less if you prefer a softer lip balm.

 

• Before filling the tubes or tins, you can re-melt the lip balm and adjust ingredients until you get the exact texture you want.
