Ingredients
-
2 Tbsp beeswax (15 g)
-
1 Tbsp shea butter (15 g)
-
1 scant Tbsp honey (15 g)
-
2 Tbsp coconut oil (30 g)
-
1/4 tsp vitamin E oil (optional)
-
5-10 drops essential oil (optional)
Instructions
- In a double boiler, melt the shea butter, coconut oil, and beeswax over low heat
- Remove from heat and let cool 3-5 minutes. Add essential oils and vitamin E oil, if desired
- Stream in room temperature honey while whisking
- Once combined, pour into tin, jar, or chapstick tube and let cool. Should keep for up to a year
Notes
- Honey and oil won't naturally combine, so slowly streaming in the honey while whisking will help to disperse it throughout the mixture.
- If the honey separates and sinks to the bottom, whisk quickly to reincorporate
- If the coconut oil solidifies while adding the honey, move it back to the double boiler on low heat, stirring constantly, until the oil is just melted
