This is a super simple Tutorial for an all natural (Moisturizing) Lip Balm (there are no chemicals in this btw!)


Ingredients

Olive Oil
Almond Oil
Cocoa Butter
Coconut Oil
Beeswax (shaved or pellets)
Vitamin E (serves as a moisturizer as well as a preservative)


 This makes 3 ounces or about 15 tubes (depending on how you want to store it I used 1 ounce pots)

The formula

4Tsp olive oil
2 Tsp Almond Oil
2 1/2 Tsp cocoa butter
3 3/4 Tsp coconut oil
3 1/2 Tsp beeswax (cosmetic grade)
5 Drops of Vitamin E

I use the microwave method... you can use a double broiler if you would like but this is easy, all you will need is a pyrex measuring cup (GLASS) the reason why is because the beeswax is hard to clean off so it goes a little better with a glass measuring cup  now... on to the fun stuff!

Everything but the Vitamin E

Measure out and combine all ingredients EXCEPT FOR THE VITAMIN E (this goes in AFTER IT IS ALL MELTED TOGETHER) (you will smell a hint of chocolate... this is just the cocoa butter as it melts... YUMMMMMYYYY!!!!)



Then 20 second burst in the microwave (taking out and stirring in between) until melted together...

Almost there...

All melted together... time to add in the drops of Vitamin E..

Pour into containers quickly (because it will set fast)

after about 2 minutes it is almost all the way set.

I hope you enjoyed my first DIY Tutorial (there will be another one posted as soon as the item I really need comes in :) )
