Homemade Lip Balm

I made my own lip balm. I bought all of the supplies on Amazon, including the lip balm tubes. I used a kitchen scale (if you do not have one, you should get one) to weigh the ingredients.

Recipe:

10 g raw, honey-scented beeswax (I used beeswax pellets)
12 g coconut oil (make sure it smells like coconut)
7 g cocoa butter (the more fragrant, the better)
19 g sweet almond oil
1 g Vitamin E oil

1. Gently melt everything together in a double boiler (I used a glass measuring cup with a pour spout to melt everything in)
2. After everything is melted, add 15 drops of essential oil
   Try: Orange, peppermint, spearmint, grapefruit, or cinnamon essential oil
3. Pour into lip balm tubes (this will fill 10)
4. Let solidify and enjoy 

The cocoa butter definitely smells like chocolate, and these lip balms have a chocolate scent. Yum! The balm is smooth and not greasy. I will definitely make this recipe again.
