castor all work well... but keep in mind if you plan
on selling lip balm or
giving as a gift, that some people are allergic to
nut oils)
Spearmint and/or peppermint flavoring oil
Melt the cocoa butter and beeswax slowly and
carefully in a microwave, or
over a double boiler on the stove until melted. Add
oil and stir well. Add
spearmint or peppermint flavoring oils, or both, a
few drops at a time, to
taste. Gently reheat if needed. Cool slightly before
pouring into

more beeswax. |
