Step 22

22. Step 1: Clean & Sanitize your work area. Then, prepare all of your packaging materials. It is recommended that you wear gloves, an apron, and a hair net while preparing this vegan lip balm recipe. Step 2: Weigh out 21 grams of Rice Bran Wax and 17 grams of Cocoa Butter Golden Natural.

Step 23

23. Step 3: Add and melt your Rice Bran Wax and Golden Natural Cocoa Butter to a double boiler. These two ingredients are melted first since they will take longer to melt than the other oils in this recipe.

Step 24

24. Step 4: Weigh out 37 grams of coconut oil 76, 35 grams castor oil, and 1 gram of vitamin E.

Step 25

25. Step 5: When your rice bran wax/cocoa butter mixture is in a liquid state, add the remaining oils. Allow the remaining oils to melt thoroughly. Be careful not to get your butters and oils too hot. Remove from heat.

Step 26

26. Step 6: Add flavoring and stevia to your mixture, if you choose. These are all optional. Hint: Crush stevia into a fine powder, and sprinkle a tiny portion of it into the melted lip balm and mix well. The stevia will not dissolve, it will simply suspend itself in the lip balm.

Step 27

27. Step 7: Transfer your melted mixture into lip balm tubes using the disposable pipettes. Plastic pipettes work better compared glass pipettes because they do not cool down your base as quickly as glass transfer pipettes do.

Step 28

28. Step 8: Allow to cool at room temperature. Once cooled, place caps on the lip balm tubes.
