Active Time15 minutes
Yield: 2 small jars

Materials

  • 2 teaspoon of organic beeswax
  • 4 teaspoons of organic unrefined coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon of very fine beetroot powder

Instructions

  • Carefully melt the beeswax and add the coconut oil. You can leave the wax slowly melt in an oven or on a warm cooker. Be careful not to burn the beeswax as you are working with quite a small amount.
  • Stir in the beetroot powder and blend in.
  • Keep re-melting the waxes if they solidify too quickly.
  • To make sure that the lip balm is smooth, pour the liquid waxes through a cheesecloth (or a fine cotton cloth) and then fill your pots.
  • Keep in room temperature, but not too warm and use within a few months.
