Create a luscious, scented lip gloss that hydrates and shines, enhanced by the sweet and captivating aroma of Strawberry Essential Oil.
Ingredients:
Instructions: Combine and Melt Ingredients: In a small, heat-safe bowl, combine the shea butter, coconut oil, and castor oil. Place the bowl in a hot water bath and gently heat, stirring occasionally, until all the ingredients have melted into a clear liquid. Cool Slightly: Remove the bowl from the water bath and let the mixture cool for a few minutes until it is warm to the touch, but not solidified. The temperature should be below 40°C to preserve the oil's properties. Add Essential Oil: Carefully add the Strawberry Essential Oil and Vitamin E Oil to the mixture. Stir thoroughly to ensure even distribution. Pour and Set: Pour the liquid lip gloss into a clean, sterilized lip gloss container or small tin. Leave it to cool completely at room temperature. The gloss will solidify into a smooth, glossy balm.

Use this lip gloss as needed to moisturize and protect your lips. A small amount is enough to provide a glossy finish and a delightful scent. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. This recipe is for personal use and can be adjusted to create a preferred consistency or scent strength. Always perform a patch test before first use to check for any sensitivities.
