Ingredients
- 2 tbsp. Organic Raw Shea Butter
- 4 tbsp. Organic Unrefined Coconut Oil
- 1 tbsp. Organic Candelilla Wax (or 2 tbsp. of Beeswax)
- Optional: 10-15 drops of Organic Lavender or Peppermint Essential Oil
Directions
- Fill a large pot about 1/4 of the way with water and place on stove top.
- Place a large heat-safe glass bowl (make sure it's larger than the pot opening!) on top of the pot filled with water and bring to a boil.
- Turn heat to low. Add Shea Butter, Coconut Oil, and Candelilla wax and stir until melted.
- Add 10-15 drops of your chosen essential oil and mix in. Remove from heat.
- Using a small funnel, immediately pour melted mixture into a lip balm tube or small container.
- NOTE: Once the wax hardens, you'll be stuck with it in whatever container it's in!
