This easy homemade lip balm makes great gifts.
Measure beeswax, shea or cocoa butter, coconut oil, and grapeseed or sunflower oil into a pyrex measuring cup.
In a small saucepan, add about 2″ water and gently place the pyrex container in the saucepan. Be sure that the water will not splash into the pyrex container. Set this make-shift double boiler over medium heat.
As the mixture melts, stir occasionally.
While the mixture is melting, check each lip balm tube to be sure the inside mechanism is rolled down as far as possible. You want to be sure to get the maximum amount of liquid in each tube.
When all the ingredients are almost melted, remove from the heat and continue to stir to melt the remaining beeswax pellets. Then add your essential oils and stir one last time.
Carefully pour the mixture into your tubes. Allow lip balm to harden for at least an hour. You may wish to hold a small amount of lip balm to top off the containers as it will shrink when it cools.
Wipe any excess from your pyrex container and spoon while the mixture is warm. It is much easier to clean up before it hardens.
