DIY chocolate chip lip balm
Supplies:
- 1 tablespoon pure shea butter
- 2 tablespoons sweet almond oil
- 1 tablespoon beeswax pearls (also called pellets)
- 12 chocolate chips
- 4 (1/2 ounce) containers
- Glass-spouted measuring cup
- Plastic spoon
- Optional: 5-8 drops peppermint essential oil, stickers to decorate the container lids
Instructions:
- Add the shea butter, almond oil and beeswax to the glass measuring cup and melt the ingredients in the microwave. You’ll want to do this gradually, heating in 15-second increments and stirring in between, until the ingredients are melted.
- When melted, add the chocolate chips to the mixture (do not microwave) and stir until they melt.
- Optional: If you’d like a chocolate chip mint flavor, add the peppermint essential oil, stirring to mix well.
- Quickly pour the mixture from the measuring cup into the containers.
- Allow the containers to sit for about 30 minutes until the balm is solid, and then add the lids. Decorate the lids if you’d like.
