Here is a great chap stick recipe that's healthy and really works. Its personally one of my favorite recipes that I have used yet.
Ingredients
- 1 part beeswax (example- 1 tablespoon)
- 2 parts shea, cocoa or mango butter (example-2 tablespoons)
- 2 parts coconut oil (example-2 tablespoons)
- 20 drops of essential oil of choice (or more or less to your preference) I use 20+ drops of peppermint essential oil for a cooling and refreshing lip chap.
Instructions
- Put about an inch of water in the bottom of a small pan and turn on medium heat.
- Place a small (pint size or smaller) jar in the water, being careful not to get in water inside the jar.
- Place all ingredients except the essential oils inside the glass jar and slowly melt, making sure not to get any water in jar. I use 2 tablespoons each of the butter(s) and coconut oil and 1 tablespoons of beeswax. This fills about 18 tubes.
- When all ingredients are melted, stir well and turn off heat, but leave jar in the water to keep warm.
- Stir in the essential oils.
- Use a glass dropper to quickly fill the containers. I leave the jar in the water but turn off the heat to keep the ingredients liquid while I do this.
- The mixture will settle slightly as it cools, so I also re-top the containers after about 2 minutes as they start to harden.
- Let sit without touching for several hours or until completely hardened.
- Store in a cool dry place (they will last for at least a year if stored correctly).
- Enjoy!
