Instead of peppermint, try other food-grade essential oils to flavor this all-natural lip balm. Please be aware, some natural citrus oils such as bergamot, grapefruit, lemon, orange or lime are photosensitizing, meaning they can make your skin more sensitive to the sun and could possibly cause sunburn.

INGREDIENTS

1 tablespoon (1/4 ounce) LorAnn Beeswax Beads
1 tablespoon (1/2 ounce) LorAnn Shea Butter
2 tablespoons (1/2 ounce) LorAnn Sweet Almond Oil
10 - 15 drops LorAnn Peppermint Essential Oil

4 1/8-ounce plastic pots or lip balm tubes

DIRECTIONS

Measure beeswax, sweet almond oil and shea butter into a small glass mixing jar (a clean small condiment jar works well). Fill a small saucepan with 1 inch of water and heat to simmer. Place glass jar in pan and allow plant butters and beeswax to melt. Do not over heat. Remove from pan.

Add Peppermint oil and mix well. Pour into containers and allow to harden undisturbed for 20 minutes.
