1 oz (28 g) Shea Butter
1 oz (28 g) Beeswax
1 oz (28 g) Organic Goats Milk Powder
.3 oz (8 g) Olive Oil
.9 (oz 25 g) Vitamin E Oil
1 oz (28 g) Apricot Oil or substitute for other oil

Instructions

To begin, melt the beeswax and shea butter in a double boiler. Stir in the remaining oils when the solids have melted, and then add the goat’s milk powder. To remove any lumps from the goat milks, thoroughly whisk. Pour into a small jar once it has cooled, then enjoy!

To avoid contaminating your lip balm or chapstick, make sure all of the containers are sterilised by boiling them. Use a cosmetic colouring found in places that sell ingredients for handmade body products if you want to colour this balm. The balm can also be tinted with a tiny bit of store-bought lipstick. As an alternative, since it is used in such a little amount, you may also use coloured candle dye or beeswax to create a pattern.

This recipe will yield around 20 Small lip balm chapstick pots.
