Vegan Lip Balm Recipe

Clean & Sanitize your work area and all of your packaging materials. It is suggested that you wear gloves, protective clothing, and a hair net while preparing this recipe.

Weigh out 27 grams of candelilla wax and 17 grams cocoa butter.

In a double boiler, melt your candelilla wax and cocoa butter since they take longer than the other oils in this recipe to melt.

Weigh out 37 grams coconut oil 76, 35 grams castor oil, and 1 gram vitamin E.

Add those oils to your melted candelilla wax/cocoa butter mixture, and allow to melt thoroughly. Be careful not to get your oils/butters too hot or you will ruin them. Remove from heat.

Add 20 drops of the Strawberry Sorbet flavoring and half a packet of stevia sweetener 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.

Place your mixture into lip balm tubes using the transfer pipettes. Plastic pipettes work better than glass pipettes because they do not cool down your mixture as quickly as glass pipettes do.

Allow to cool at room temperature.
