INTRODUCING THE EASIEST AND CREAMIEST LIP BALM RECIPE! I was initially intimidated to make anything in the line of salves or balms, but after making just once, I discovered it’s so fun and easy. I am addicted to DIY now! Saves money and is great to do with older kids! Here’s what you need... SUPPLIES: 12 Chapstick tubes (if not tubes, we used balm containers also. This recipe will hold close to 10 of these containers.) Shea butter Beeswax (I love working with the pellets.) coconut oil (I get this brand at Costco. It’s a low price for the amount.) Peppermint essential oil (Or any other EO) Orange essential oil pyrex measuring cup large pot of water filled quarter of the way Something to stir essential oils with such as wooden skewer tablespoon eggshell carton (if using tubes)- Turn carton upside down and poke holes in each section. Stick open chapstick tubes in each to hold them up. Directions: I am very simple and efficient, so I’ve streamlined this craft to be as easy as possible. Rather than using a double boiler, I just put the measuring cup in the pot of boiling water. 1. Measure 2 tblsp. of coconut oil, 2 tblsp. shea butter and 2 tblsp. beeswax and place in pyrex measuring cup. 2. Place measuring cup in pot of water. I usually fill water to half of height of measuring cup (the handle is not under water). Turn on medium high heat. 3. Once everything is melted, carefully take it out. If too hot, use rag or glove. Let sit a minute, and then add 20 drops of peppermint oil and 10 drops of orange oil. (Any type of essential oil will do.) 4. Stir with wooden skewer to incorporate essential oils. Then carefully pour in chapstick containers or tubes. Before I used the upside down egg carton, my tubes would fall over and spill everywhere. They cool very quickly. 5. Label tubes. Like I said, what seemed like an intimidating project was the easiest. These make great gifts! Add some room spray in a cute bag! Subscribe here for more recipes.
