Sheer Glow Lip Balm Ingredients, Instructions, and Swatches
▼ Ingredients for 2 lip balms:
- 2 grams Candelilla Wax (Plant Derived) or 4 grams Beeswax: provides a barrier against the elements, seals in moisture, keeps color on your lips and provides shape to the balm
- 3 grams (1 tsp) Coconut Oil, melted: solid at room temperature, anti-bacterial
- 2 grams Mango Butter: stabilizes the balm so it is solid at room temperature yet glides and melts on the lips
- 3 grams (1 tsp) Avocado Oil: long lasting moisturizer, contains high levels of Vitamin E (an anti-oxidant that softens skin)
- 1/4 tsp Lip Safe Mica Powder: Color/Shimmer
- 1 smidgen Preservative Cap-5 (TKB Trading)
- 1-2 drops flavor oil (I used LorAnn Strawberry Oil)
▼ Tools:
- Empty lip balm tubes or jars ( I used .15 oz round lip tubes from Wholesale Supplies Plus)
- Small Pot & a Non-Porous Glass Bowl ( I used a Pyrex Mixing Bowl)
- Craft Sticks for stirring
- TKB Trading Mini Spoon 5 & Measuring Spoons
- Disposable Pipettes or Glass Dropper
- Digital Scale
▼▼INSTRUCTIONS▼▼
Set up a homemade double boiler by adding 1/2 inch of water to a small pot. Bring the water to a low boil over low heat.
Add the wax to the glass bowl (I use Pyrex) and place over the pot, not allowing the water to boil high enough to reach the bowl. Let the wax melt (takes about 5 minutes) and then add the Mango Butter, Avocado Oil, and Coconut Oil, stir until melted /combined thoroughly. Remove from heat & add the color, flavor oil, and preservative.
Immediately transfer to containers. Using a dropper or pipette, fill lip balm containers.
Lip balm will be set in an hour or two; it will be completely solid within a day or two. Refrigerate to speed things up.
