Soy Butter Lip Balm
Introduction
This was made on the blog on July 9th, 2009.Ingredients
1.56 ounces Beeswax
3.12 ounces Soy Butter
0.78 ounces Regular Cocoa Butter
2.34 ounces Sweet Almond Oil
0.312 to .468 ounces Cranberry Flavor Oil
Equipment
Microwave safe container for weighing ingredients
Scale
Transfer Pipettes
Spoons
Containers for the finished products
Instructions
Weigh all ingredients except for the Cranberry Flavor Oil into the container for mixing. Microwave in short bursts until the oils are completely melted. The beeswax and cocoa butter will take the longest to
melt, so if you don t want to wait for those to melt, you can use the
Beeswax Prills and chop the cocoa butter into small crumbles. After the oils have been melted, add the flavor oil and color, if desired. Once the flavor has been mixed into the lip balm, you are now ready to fill your lip balm tubes. Don t be alarmed if the lip balm sets up quickly! I've found it is one of the quirks of a Soy Butter lip balm!
Yield
Fills 52 of the 0.15 ounce lip balm tubes.
