Making Lip Balm

I spent a fun Saturday with two colleagues and friends at home with a brand new friend, where we learned to make Lip Balm while talking nonsense over numerous cups of coffee. The new friend shared her secrets to making lip balm with us, as we had a fundraiser coming up for the school where we teach. The following Friday, we spent the afternoon making lip balm at one of our own homes, over more coffee, laughter and chatter. I share the some of the secrets for making lip balm with you in today's blog.

Melt about 200 g beeswax in a double cooker.

Add 1 litre coconut oil to the cooker and melt with the beeswax.

Add the flavours and/or colours you prefer.

Fill small pots with the mixture. Allow to cool down completely before closing to avoid condensation.
