Instructions:

1. Melt the shea butter and beeswax in a double boiler.

2. Remove from heat and stir in the vitamin E oil.

Why make this recipe at home? This recipe allows you to create a natural and nourishing lip balm that is free of harsh chemicals and artificial fragrances. You can also customize the ingredients to suit your preferences. For a softer balm, you could add a little Baraka virgin coconut oil, which absorbs quickly rather than sitting on the skin.
