INSTRUCTIONS
- Mix the coconut oil and beeswax in a microwave safe bowl. Cover it with wax paper. Place it in the microwave oven for 3 minutes. But check on the mixture every 30 seconds so that it may not overheat.
- In case you want a softer lip balm, add a lesser amount of beeswax.
- After it has melted, mix in baking soda, honey, food colour and any essential oil if you want.
- Properly mix everything and pour into small containers which can be used for storing the lip balm.
- Either refrigerate or store in a cool dry place to set.
- You can play around with the consistency and flavours by adding different essential oils.
