DIY Lavender Lip Balm

Picture
What you will need:
-1 small pot
-1 dropper
-1 TBSP beeswax
-1 TBSP coconut oil
-1 TBSP shea butter
-Empty lip balm containers (8-10)
-Essential oils (5-8 drops of desired EO depending on how potent you want the aroma) 

**I use Lavender because of its ability to soothe dry, chapped skin and its wonderful aroma**

Cook time: Approximately 10 minutes (I didn't time myself, but it did not take long at all)

Step 1 - Melt 1 TBSP of Beeswax in a pot

Step 2 - Add 1 TBSP of coconut oil and 1 TBSP of Shea butter

Step 3 - Once ingredients are completely melted, remove from heat and add Essential Oil of choice (5-8 drops). Stir together.
**I only recommend Young Living Essential Oils because they are 100% pure therapeutic grade**

Step 4 - Uncap and line up empty lip balm containers (I usually get 8 or 9 from this size batch) 
NOTE: larger batches are more difficult, because the mixture hardens quickly and the longer it takes you to get the
 mixture in the tubes, the messier it becomes

Step 5 - Use dropper to squeeze mixture into empty lip balm containers (be careful, its hot!)

Step 6 - Let harden and recap

Step 7 - You just made your own lip balm from scratch! Go you!!

secret that it was super simple and cheap ;-)
