Cocoa Mint Lip Balm Recipe
1.5 oz. cocoa butter (non-deodorize)
1 oz. beeswax
1.5 oz. shea butter
.01 oz. pure Vitamin E
3-5 drops peppermint essential oil (optional)
You may wish to less or no peppermint if you don't like the
"tingle" that peppermint leaves behind on your lips;
the sensation disappears within a few minutes of application)
In a heat proof measuring cup with a lip for pouring, melt
together the cocoa butter, shea butter and beeswax over a
double boiler. Once the butters and wax have completely liquefied,
remove from heat. Stir with a pop sickle stick to ensure the
mix. Add Vitamin E and stir to incorporate. Add the essential
oil and stir to combine. While mixture remains hot, pour into
lip balm containers. You may spill a bit outside the containers
as you get used to steadying your hand to pour. If this happens,
wait for the mixture to harden and wipe the containers with
a clean cloth. Seal, label and enjoy!!
