You’ll need coconut oil, beeswax, cocoa butter, almond oil and peppermint essential oil. I also purchased tiny lip balm containers that I labelled with my Brother P Touch label maker.

Use a double boiler on your stove so you don’t burn the ingredients. Just add some water to saucepan and then place a heat proof bowl to sit inside. Your ingredients will melt in the bowl and will be a safe distance away from the direct heat. I use a glass Pyrex bowl for mine.

Ingredients

• coconut oil
• cocoa butter
• beeswax
• almond oil
• peppermint essential oil

The result is a minty fresh lip balm that goes on smoothly. Your lips will feel nice and soft.

They also make a wonderful gift! Add a few to a mesh gift bag with a little card. I’m going to be making more for Christmas stocking stuffers for my daughters.
