Lip balm instructions
Melt bee’s wax, shea butter and coconut oil in a double boiler or small glass bowl over a pot of boiling water, stirring constantly until melted. Remove the pan from heat but keep over the still-hot water to ensure the mixture remains melted. Add essential oils to your preference. Allow it to cool and use as required.
