5 g Shea Butter
-
3 g Carnauba Wax or Beeswax
-
10 g Jojoba Oil

10 drops Food Grade Flavoring: Apple Strudel
-
5 drops Vitamin E Oil (Antioxidant)
Instructions for Preparation:
Melt the Oils and Wax: Combine the Shea Butter, Carnauba/Beeswax, and Jojoba Oil in a heat-safe beaker. Gently melt the mixture in a double boiler until all components are fully liquid and clear.
Cool Slightly: Remove the beaker from the heat and let the mixture cool for a moment (around 60-65°C) to ensure the heat doesn't degrade the flavor.

Pour: Immediately pour the flavored mixture into sterilized lip balm tubes or tins.
Set: Allow the balms to cool and fully solidify at room temperature or briefly in the refrigerator.
Recommendations:
-
Safety: Use only food-grade flavorings for any product applied to the lips, as they may be inadvertently ingested.
