Ingredients
 

  • 2 Tablespoons Beeswax Pellets
  • 2 Tablespoons Organic Coconut Oil
  • 2 Tablespoons Organic Shea Butter
  • 10-15 drops peppermint essential oil (depends how strong you want it to be)

Instructions
 

  • In a double boiler over medium heat, melt together the beeswax pellets and coconut oil, stirring until smooth. Add the shea butter and stir until melted and smooth. Remove from the stove top but keep the boiler over the hot water to keep the mixture liquid.
  • Add in the drops of essential oil and stir.
  • Use a dropper to fill the empty chapstick containers. Let cool for a few hours before putting the cap back on.
  • Add the labels.
  • Enjoy soft lips!

Notes

Note- Liquid is hot so be careful transferring into lip balm tubes. If using pipettes, keep vertical.
Tip: Add around 10 drops of peppermint essential oil and test on your skin or lips (being careful with the hot liquid) to see how many more drops you might like to add.
