Keyword essential oil lip balm, homemade lip balm, lip balm
Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 8 minutes
Total Time 13 minutes

Ingredients

  • Either a small glass jar or several plastic tubes check amazon. I like to use a small Mason jar just because I always have them on hand. It is also the perfect size so it doesn't get lost in the mess!
  • If using plastic tubes also have a funnel on hand
  • 2 Tbsp Coconut Oil
  • 2 Tbsp of 100% Beeswax Pellets
  • 16 Drops Essential Oils of your choice
  • Pyrex measuring cup or microwave safe bowl for mixing

Instructions

  1. Add the Coconut Oil and Beeswax pellets to the Pyrex measuring cup (or glass mixing bowl). Microwave for 1 minute, mixing after every 10 seconds. Continue in 10 second intervals until the beeswax pellets are completely melted
  2. Once melted, it will be very hot. Carefully remove the Pyrex cup using a pot holder
  3. Add 16 drops of Essential Oil (I used 8 drops Peppermint and 8 drops Lemon)
  4. Pour into your container. This will fill half of a small mason jar. If using tubes, use a funnel to pour in to each tube
  5. Let cool then enjoy!
