Step 1

Have all of your required supplies ready and waiting (including final storage tins).

Step 2

Add water to the bottom pan of your double-boiler. Now add the called-for oil, beeswax, and cocoa butter to the top portion of the double-boiler.

Step 3

Heat the mixture on the stovetop over medium-love heat until everything melts, and stirring frequently.

Step 4

As soon as everything melts and is thoroughly combined, remove from heat.

Step 5

Add optional essential oils once removed from heat. They're highly volatile and prone to dissipating.

Step 6

While it is still hot, carefully pour the liquid lip balm into your chosen containers. (If it starts to solidify while you’re still filling containers, simply put it back on medium-low heat until it liquifies again.)

Step 7

Allow them to fully cool and harden before adding lids.
