6 Natural Lip Balm Colors and Scents - Basic Lip Balm Recipe
Servings: 20
Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons Beeswax
- 3 Tablespoons Cocoa Butter 1.44oz
- 1 Tablespoon Shea Butter
- 2 Tablespoons Sweet Almond Oil
Instructions
- Create a double boiler by placing a glass bowl or glass measuring jar in a saucepan of boiling water.
- Add the beeswax, cocoa butter, shea butter, and sweet almond oil to the double boiler and stir on and off over low heat until everything is melted.
- Add natural colorants while on low heat and stir until combined.
- Remove from heat and add essential oils if desired.
- Pour into pots or tubes to cool.
Notes
***TIP*** When filling lip balm tubes, fill until they almost overflow. The lip balm will shrink as it cools and can leave a hole down the middle. But it's just cosmetic, so don't stress if that happens. It's hard to get them full enough without them overflowing.
