Favorite Lip Balm

This is my most favorite, favorite lip balm and I like it better than that Bees brand, which used to be my favorite.  This is about 1/3 of the price and everyone I give a lip balm to is hooked.

Peppermint Lip Balm

1 Tbl raw unrefined shea butter (like this)

1 Tbl virgin organic cold pressed coconut oil (like this)

2 Tbl beeswax pellets (like these) or go to your local honey farmer and ask to buy their beeswax.  I get mine here at Austin Honey Co in a 1 lb block and I grate some of the block and pack pretty firmly into 2 Tbl.

Essential oils  15 drops for peppermint lip balm

INSTRUCTIONS

Melt everything except the essential oils in a double boiler or in a pot setting in another pt of boiling water on medium.  Let it cool for about 5 minutes and then add 15 drops peppermint essential oil (I only use these)
