recipe - Lipbalm / Lipgloss

REC13

Materials:

0,18 oz ( 5 gram ) jojoba oil
0,035 oz ( 1 gram ) beeswax
0,035 oz ( 1 gram ) sheabutter
0,07 oz ( 2 gram ) cocoabutter

Extra ingredients:
2 drops vitamine E
4 drops essential oil peppermint (anti-inflammatory)

Method:

Gently heat the Jojoba oil, beeswax, sheabutter and cocoabutter in a double boiler until it's all the way melted. Do not heat above 70 degrees, so it is best to remove the jar from heat as the beeswax is melting.
Stir it slowly as the balm cools and turns into a nice emulsion.
Add the essential oils and vitamine E but make sure the mixture is below 40 degrees. Mix it up and place into a jar. Before placing the lid on the jar make sure the balm is cooled down to prevent condensation.
If you want to add some color to the lipbalm, you can add natural mica pigment powder.
