- Double boiler or mason jar
Ingredients
- 5 tablespoons shea butter
- 5 teaspoons jojoba oil
- 5 teaspoons coconut oil
- 5 tablespoons beeswax
- Zest of ½ Lemon
- 8 drops lavender essential oil
- 5-8 drops lemon essential oil
Instructions
- In a small pot of heat-proof glass jar combine the shae butter, jojoba oil, coconut oil, beeswax and lemon zest.
- Place into a pot of water at a rolling boil, and heat until beeswax is completely melted.
- Meanwhile, set up your lip chap tubes and get everything ready to strain and pour as the mixture cools and hardens quickly.
- Set up another heat proof jar and place a small mesh strainer on top. Pour the mixture through the strainer to remove the lemon zest.
