DIRECTIONS
• Have all your supplies and ingredients out and ready before starting.
• Measure and/or weigh the oil, wax, and butter and add to the top portion of a double
boiler. Be sure to put water in the lower portion of the double boiler.
• Heat the ingredients over medium-high heat until all of the ingredients completely melt
and combine. Stir occasionally. Do not cover the pot while heating.
• Turn off and remove the pot from the heat before adding essential oils. Essential oils are
very volatile by nature, and thus will quickly dissipate on high heat.
• While it is still hot, carefully pour the liquid into your lip balm jar.
• Once the lip balm has completely cooled and hardened, add lids.
