Instructions:
- Measure out all your ingredients except essential oils into a heat friendly cup or pan. You can use a glass dish in the microwave also.
- Open the
Vitamin E tablets and squeezed into the cup.
- Melt all the
ingredients, and stir. Give it a minute or two the beeswax takes the longest to melt (Do not move on until its all melted)
- Once it’s all melted add your essential oils and mix it up.
- Test it out, to make sure it has the flavor you want by letting a tiny bit cool on your finger. Rub it on your lips and check if its just right. If you feel it needs more mint or other flavorings, add more!
- Then use a dropper
to add the liquid into chapstick tubes or small metal containers. (If it cools too quickly before you’re done filling your tubes, just pop it in the microwave till it melts again.)
ALL DONE YAY!!!! YOUR OWN HOMEMADE BURT'S BEES CHAPSTICK
*******The upfront cost of making chap-sticks may cost around $30-$60 (This can be cheaper if you use cheaper essential oils) but you will be able to make chap-stick for many years to come and give them away as gifts. Cost per chap-stick is around .25 (est. high) *****
