This is a small but mighty gift to give. This past Christmas was 75% homemade from bags and jewelry to lotions and lip balms. Not everything was a success, between chains snapping and nauceating lotions I managed to pull together a successful batch of these cuties.
Having purchased these perfect lip gloss containers from a site so long ago I can't even remember which, and ordering up some Beeswax on Amazon Prime I was set to whip this up!
In a small pot I gently heated on medium-low, using a wooden spoon (or chopstick) and stirring constantly..
3 heaping teaspoons of beeswax pellets (or roughly chopped beeswax)
6 teaspoons of coconut oil (we like Trader Joe's!)
1 1/2 teaspoons of lanolin
3/4 teaspoon of Vitamin E
2 teaspoons of hard honey (Trader Joe's also carries raw honey perfect for this)
3/4 teaspoon of peppermint essential oils
The peppermint oil gives a great scent as well as that refreshing cool feeling on your lips!
Pour your mix immediately into containers, leave open to cool.
I made the labels by using mod podge to affix it to my containers.
I use this often and it smells so therapeutic. I recommend the peppermint smell be put in every lip balm ever!
