Homemade Chapstick (Only 4 Ingredients!)

INGREDIENTS

• 2 tbsp Beeswax organic, unbleached
• 2 tbsp Shea butter organic
• 2 tbsp Coconut oil organic
• 1/4 tsp Oil of your choice, preferrably organic, cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil or vitamin E oil
• 5 drops Essential oil(s), optional, used here: lemongrass

EQUIPMENT

• Double-Boiler
• Measuring spoons
• 15 Empty lip balm tubes

DIRECTIONS

1. Boil water in a medium pot, then add your double boiler
2. Add beeswax, coconut oil, and shea butter to the double boiler, stirring occasionally with a chopstick until melted
3. Remove from heat and stir in the oil and essential oils
4. Carefully pour into the empty lip balm tubes (my double boiler has a pour spout, which makes it simple!)
5. The contents will shrink slightly as it cools, so I save a little extra in my double boiler to top off the tubes a few minutes later.
6. Once cool, add the lids and store in a cool, dark location for up to a year.
