1g Cosmetic Grade Cocoa Butter
1g Natural Beeswax
1g of Virgin Olive Oil
Peppermint Oil
Vitamin E Capsule (optional)
(all of these items can be found on eBay wooooo!)
First grate the cocoa butter and beeswax ( if not in pellets) and add your Olive Oil in a microwaveable container. On low heat melt the ingredients together. It might take a while so don't worry! Once in a liquid state, add a 3 drops of Peppermint Oil and the contents of the Vitamin E capsule ( to act as a preservative, not needed but you will have to keep your balm in the fridge!). Mix well at all stages. Pour into lip gloss pots or a container to melt down and dispense again. Leave out until cool, or place in your fridge.
Nice and simple! - Remember you can not put beeswax in your dishwasher or down the sink! Best to be practical with your waste and heat the waste again, wash it into a disposable container, and place it in the bin!
Great additions to lip balm are 'Wintergreen Oil' for lip plumping (use sparingly guys this stuff stings), sweet orange oil for a zesty fragrance. Do not use perfume oils or excessive essential oils! Make sure your ingredients are cosmetic or food grade guys! And no testing it on your cat!
