Equipment
- Lip Chap Tubes
- Mini Funnel
- Mini Whisk
- Double boiler or mason jar
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon cacao butter
- ½ tablespoon shea butter
- ½ tablespoon coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon beeswax
- 1 stick cinnamon crushed
Instructions
- in a heat-safe jar, add the first four ingredients.
- Place the cinnamon stick in a plastic bag and crush with a hammer. You don't want it to be powder, just small broken pieces.
- Add the cinnamon to the jar.
- Heat a small pot of water until a rolling boil (about two inches of water). Add the jar into the water.
- Let the jar sit in the water while the ingredients melt fully. Once melted, whisk. Leave the jar in the hot water for 15-20 minutes so that the cinnamon can infuse.
- In the meantime, set up your lip chap containers.
- When ready, remove the jar from the water and strain the mixture through a mesh strainer to remove the cinnamon.
- Using a small funnel pour the mixture into the tubes until full.
- You'll need to move very quickly as the mixture begins to harden immediately. Let sit on the counter for twenty-four hours to set.
