Why recepie famous for?

The base of this recipe is just 4 ingredients: coconut oil, sweet almond oil, essential oils and beeswax. And it’s pretty easy to find organic ingredients for cheap. I like both coconut oil and sweet almond oil because they provide moisture to soothe and moisturize lips. The beeswax is the secret ingredient to firm up this lip balm (similar to a commercial lip balm) so it can be used on the go.

Ingredients

10 drops Lemon or Lavender essential oil (where to buy)
2 tbsp organic extra-virgin coconut oil
1 tbsp organic almond oil
1.5 tbsp organic, cosmetic-grade beeswax pastilles
Lip balm tubes

Instructions

Use a double boiler on low heat to melt all ingredients (except essential oils).
Remove from heat once melted and add essential oils.
Fill lip balm tins and let cool for a couple of hours to firm up.
