Instructions for preparation:
Melt the Base: In a small, heat-resistant bowl, combine the beeswax, shea butter, and jojoba oil. Place the bowl in a double boiler over low heat. Gently stir until all the ingredients are completely melted and the mixture is clear.
Remove from Heat: Once the mixture is fully melted, carefully remove the bowl from the heat.
Add the Flavor: Allow the mixture to cool slightly, but not solidify. Add the Lime Oil-Soluble Flavor. Stir gently but thoroughly to ensure the flavor is evenly dispersed throughout the balm.
Pour and Cool: Immediately pour the liquid mixture into a clean, sterilized lip balm tube or tin. Let it cool completely at room temperature until it solidifies.

Flavor Intensity: The recommended dosage of 2g (10%) for this recipe provides a strong and pleasant lime flavor. You can adjust the amount to suit your preference. Always start with a smaller amount and add more if needed.
-
Customization: Feel free to substitute jojoba oil with other carrier oils like almond oil or coconut oil. You can also add a small amount of vitamin E oil for extra nourishment.
-
Consistency: The ratio of beeswax to oils can be adjusted. To make the balm firmer, increase the amount of beeswax. To make it softer, increase the amount of oil.
