Makes enough lip balm to fill approximately 6 x 15ml jars
You will need:
- 20g White Beeswax
- 25g Soft Oil/Butter such as Shea Butter, Mango Butter, Coconut Oil etc
- 15g Cocoa Butter
- 40g Liquid Oil for example Sweet almond, Calendula, Avocado, Jojoba etc
- 1 Vitamin E Capsule (available from health shops)
- 3-4ml of Flavour Oil
Directions:
- Cut the soft oil/butter into small pieces and place in a pyrex jug together with the beeswax.
- Sit the jug in a pan of water over a low heat. The water needs to come about half way up the side of the jug. NEVER heat oils over a direct heat.
- Warm the ingredients until melted then remove from the heat. Take great care as oils can get very hot.
- Add the liquid oil and stir gently until blended.
- Pierce the vitamin E capsule and squeeze the liquid into the melted oils.
- Now add the flavour oil and stir well.
- Using an oven glove, remove the jug from the pan and carefully pour the oils into small glass or plastic lip balm pots.
- Allow the lip balm to cool completely before putting the lids on.
