Things that you need to get started:
Chocolate Lip Balm Ingredients & Supplies:
6 lip balm tubes
2 teaspoons beeswax pastilles
½ tablespoon unrefined coconut oil
1 teaspoon unrefined cocoa butter
½ teaspoon chocolate extract or natural flavoring
½ teaspoon cacao powder
Chocolate Lip Balm Recipe:
Cover your work area, remove the lid from each lip balm tubes, and twist them down to create the largest opening. Next, measure 2 teaspoons of beeswax pastille and pour them into a glass measuring cup.
Add 1 teaspoon of unrefined cocoa butter to the beeswax and melt in three 20-second intervals, stirring in between. If you don’t have a microwave, you can melt the ingredients on low heat in a double boiler.
Once melted, remove from the microwave and add ½ tablespoon of unrefined coconut oil. Stir it into the lip balm mixture and add ½ teaspoon of chocolate extract or natural flavoring and an optional ½ teaspoon of cacao powder. Adding the cacao powder will make the lip balm brown.
Then carefully pour the lip balm mixture into each lip balm tube. A lip balm tray can come in handy. Allow the lip balm to cool for approximately 30 minutes before removing each from the tray and covering each with a lid.
Let the lip balm harden for 24 hours before use, you'll be glad you did.
