Bee's Wax Lip Balm

Bees wax is a natural material that works to seal in moisture and nurture skin. In this recipe, you'll combine beeswax, coconut oil, shea butter, and essential oils - all natural ingredients - to create a soothing and fragrant lip balm. The best part? It's only 11 steps! As long as you have a stove, you can make this lip balm.

1. Beeswax
2. Shea Butter
3. Coconut oil
4. Pot
5. Essential oils (we got ours here)
6. Lip balm container (we used the 0.5 oz jars found in these as they were on clearance at Target)
7. Empty Jar
8. Measuring cup

Make sure you are not allergic to any of the materials and that you are wearing the appropriate clothing (no loose/hanging clothing, closed-toed shoes, ensure you have an oven mitt)

1. One tablespoon of beeswax (luckily for us one stick was equal to one tablespoon)
2. 10/11 drops of essential oils
3. 2 tablespoons of shea butter
4. 2 tablespoons of coconut oil

1. Place the jar in the center of the empty pot.
2. Fill pot with water an inch or two so that it goes up the side of the jar but doesn’t flow into the jar.
3. Turn burner on medium heat (the water will boil)

Place shea butter, coconut oil and Beeswax in jar

Place one stick of beeswax in the jar first to speed up the melting process. Once the beeswax is almost completely melted add in shea butter and coconut oil. Stir with a plastic spoon until all is melted together.

*** Add additional water to pot as needed (water will be evaporating) ***

Turn off heat and add 20 drops of your choice of essential oil - leave the mixture in the water to keep warm

Make sure there are more than enough and place a paper towel under the containers

1. Swirl mixture to incorporate
2. Take care not to overfill

Enjoy your new, natural lip balm!
