Materials
1
Tablespoon
Yellow Beeswax Pellets
1
Tablespoon
Coconut oil
For Peppermint: 3 drops
100% Pure Peppermint Essential Oil
For Lemon: 5 drops
100% Pure Lemon Essential Oil
Instructions
Wash your hands and all of your equipment thoroughly.
Place the beeswax pellets in a small glass bowl and microwave on high power for 45 seconds.
Add the coconut oil to the bowl, and return to the microwave for another 45 seconds.
Continue to microwave in 30 second increments until everything is completely melted.
Add the essential oils and return to the microwave for another 15 seconds.
Using a syringe, fill each lip balm container as full as you can without overflowing.
If it starts to harden before you're finished filling the tubes, return the glass bowl to the microwave for 15 seconds to keep it melted.
Once it solidifies (about 5 minutes) add your
lip balm labels
to the tubes and enjoy!
