2 oz Hemp Seed Oil, Avocado Oil, or Almond Oil

1 oz Virgin Coconut Oil

1.2 oz of Candelilla Wax

1/4 tsp. Rosemary Extract

few drops of Vitamin E Oil (Tocopherol)

few drops of essential or flavor oils or a combination (tangerine essential oil, wild berry preserves, wild cherry or cranberry flavor oils.)

Or you can order a Vegan Lip Balm base kit!

Instructions:

Melt the candelilla wax in a pan over low heat. Once melted add the remaining ingredients except for the flavor or essential oils. Heat through and transfer into a microwave container with a pour spout. Add the flavor and/or essential oil – stir well and pour immediately into lip balm tubes or containers. Use a pipette to top off the lip balm tubes. If mixture starts to solidify before you’re finished pouring, heat for a few seconds in the microwave. Recipe makes about 5 ounces of lip balm.

 

Hints & Tips: Rather use a double boiler for melting your lip balm?  Don’t have a Double Boiler? Click on the link to go get one and/or make yourself a double boiler for melting with a pyrex liquid measuring cup in a small saucepan with water in it.
