Instructions
In a double boiler (or I like to use a large glass measuring cup in a saucepan with water), add beeswax, cocoa butter, shea butter, and coconut oil and stir until melted.
2 tablespoons bees wax,
1 tablespoon cocoa butter,
1 tablespoon shea butter,
1 tablespoon coconut oil
Remove from heat and add herb infused oil and essential oil.
1 tablespoon herb infused oil,
10 drop lavender essential oil
Add any coloring like beet root powder, alkanet root powder, hibiscus powder, etc.
Pour into lip balm tubes and allow to cool - to avoid the hole in your lip balm, try to almost overfill containers.
