Lemon-Lime Lip Balm
 
 
Lemon, lime, coconut. What's not to like?
Ingredients
  • 3 tbsp coconut oil
  • 1 oz (by weight) beeswax
  • ½ tsp shea butter (optional)
  • 10 drops lemongrass essential oil
  • 10 drops lime essential oil
  • a few drops of vitamin E
Instructions
  1. Melt coconut oil, beeswax and shea butter in a double boiler.
  2. Remove from heat and add essential oils and vitamin E.
  3. Stir well with a disposable spoon.
  4. Pour into tubes or other molds.
  5. Let harden thoroughly before capping.
Notes
This lip balm is slightly harder than the other one, which I like, but cut back on the beeswax if you like it a little softer. Also, there is just a tiny bit of shea butter in this recipe. I love the way it feels, but I hate how it smells, so that is why I just use a tiny bit. You can leave it out if you don't have any on hand.
