Ingredients:
8 Drops peppermint oil
2 Tbsp carrier oil (such as almond oil—this dilutes the peppermint oil from a burn to a tingle)
1 Tbsp beeswax pellets
Glass dropper
Glass jar
Containers (hit up a department store for sample jars or
order your own)
Optional: lipstick shavings for a hint of tint
Directions:
Put the two tablespoons carrier oil and one tablespoon beeswax in a
glass jar and close the lid. Heat the jar in a pot with water on
medium-high heat until wax is melted. Remove jar from pot and stir
mixture. Add peppermint oil with a dropper (not too much or it’ll burn
your lips—we recommend starting with eight drops and adding more if
necessary). If you’d like your balm to be tinted, stir in your lipstick
shavings until your desired color is achieved. Then immediately pour the
mixture into your containers. Let stand for two hours until hard
