Add Oils: Once the cocoa butter and beeswax are fully melted, remove the mixture from heat and add your chosen oils. This is the perfect time to incorporate any essential oils for added benefits and aromatherapeutic fragrance.
Mix Thoroughly: Stir the oils into the mixture thoroughly until well combined. Wait for a trace to form, indicating that the oils are properly blended.
Pour into Tubes: Carefully pour the lip balm mixture into your empty lip balm tubes. Take your time to avoid spills and ensure each tube is filled evenly.
