4 tbsp Coconut Oil (can substitute with Almond Oil or Olive Oil)
tsp Vitamin E Oil (optional, for longevity)
8-10 drops Essential Oil (optional: orange, lavender, vanilla, or whatever you like)

Instructions

- Add Ingredients: Remove from heat. Once slightly cooled, stir in the vitamin E oil and your chosen essential oils.
Pour: Carefully pour the mixture into lip balm containers or small tins.
Set: Allow the balms to cool and solidify completely at room temperature (about 10–20 minutes) before capping.

Tips:

If it is too hard, add a little more oil.
Color: You can add a small chunk of natural lipstick or beetroot powder while melting for a subtle tint.
Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place. This recipe usually makes about 15–20 small containers.
