Ingredients
Directions
STEP 1
Stick 12 lip balm tubes, uncovered, into the bottom of the lip balm tray so they become the legs of the tray and are easy to fill with the melted lip balm.
STEP 2
Put a Pyrex measuring cup into a pot that’s about 1/4 full of simmering water. The water will heat the measuring cup from the outside.
STEP 3
Melt the beeswax in the Pyrex measuring cup. Add the cocoa butter and when almost melted add the vanilla-infused jojoba oil, stirring with a glass stirring rod or stainless steel spoon.
STEP 6
Add the coconut oil and melt. Remove from heat and add the essential oils, stirring gently.
STEP 8
Pour into the lip balm tubes. If the Pyrex lip is not thin enough for pouring into the tubes, you can also use a plastic pipette to siphon up the hot lip balm and squirt it into each tube. It takes longer this way but is more precise. If the lip balm starts to harden, place the Pyrex back into the hot water and it will stay liquid. Fill the tubes to the very top so once hardened, the top is smooth.
STEP 9
As soon as the liquid has begun to harden (this happens within a few minutes), gently pull the lip tubes out from the bottom, cover and allow to harden a few hours before use.

This blend was created at a 2% dilution. No safety concerns.
