Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp Castor oil
  • 2 tbsp jojoba oil
  • 1 tsp cocoa butter
  • 3 tbsp beeswax
  • 2 tbsp tallow
  • 10 drops essential oil
  • Lip balm containers

Instructions
 

  • Add everything except the essential oils into a glass container, and melt on medium low in a double broiler.
  • Once all melted, let cool for a few minutes.
  • Then add in the essential oils (optional).
  • Pour into your lip balm containers. Let sit for a few hours until fully hard, then put the lid on

Notes

  • Essential oils are optional. 
  • You can use shea butter instead of cocoa butter if you prefer that. -
  • Any carrier oil will work for the infusion. I used a mix of jojoba and castor oil.
  • You can use herb infused oils.
