Lip Balm How-To

***Makes 4 tins, 1/2 ounce each***

1 Tablespoon beeswax pearls (also called pellets)
1 Tablespoon pure shea butter
2 Tablespoons sweet almond oil
10-15 drops essential oils

Melt beeswax, shea butter and almond oil together in the top of a double boiler or in a heat safe bowl set over a pot of simmering water; stir continuously with a whisk. Once the ingredients are liquefied, remove them from the heat. Whisk in the essential oils. Working quickly, transfer the liquid to a measuring cup or a container with a pour spout and then divide it between four 1/2 oz. lip balm tins. Let balms cool completely until solid, about 20 minutes. Store in a cool, dry place.
