For my second attempt at lip balm, I tried a recipe with several more ingredients than my first one. The results are smooth and silky, so I’ve named it “Lip Butter”.

I gave this one to my mom and a few friends to test out. All the ladies LOVED the smooth, glossy feel!

Here’s how it works:

Ingredients:

• 2 tsp of Beeswax
• 2 tsp Coconut Oil
• 3 tsp Olive Oil
• 2 tsp Cacao Butter
• 1 tsp Shea Butter
• 10-15 drops of the Essential Oil of your choice (I love lavender!)
• Tins/Tubes of your choice

Steps:

1. Mix all the ingredients in a double boiler. I like to use my glass measuring cup because it is easy to pour from! Alternatively you can use the microwave in 30 second increments.
2. Once all the ingredients are melted (the beeswax is usually last) and mixed together, remove from heat.
3. Add a few drops of your favorite essential oil and pour into your tubes/tins!

This is a pretty small recipe (only about 4 tubes), so if you want to increase it, use tablespoons instead of teaspoons!
