Method
- Fill the bottom pot of a double boiler with about an inch of water and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
- Place a heatproof bowl on top of the pot, ensuring it does not touch the water.
- Add the beeswax to the bowl and let it melt slowly while stirring occasionally.
- Once the beeswax is mostly melted, add the shea butter and coconut oil, stirring gently until completely melted and smooth (about 2 minutes).
- Remove the bowl from heat and stir in the jojoba oil and vitamin E oil.
- Sift in the mica powder and stir for about 30 seconds to ensure an even distribution.
- Add the essential oil drops and optional rose quartz powder; stir until fully incorporated.
- Let the mixture cool for 1 minute, then use a small funnel to pour it into lip balm tubes, filling each almost to the top.
- Allow the filled tubes to cool at room temperature for at least 2 hours before capping.
Notes
This lip balm can be customized for scent and shimmer. Store in a cool, dry place away from sunlight.
