Christmas Craft: Lip Balms

Christmas project for today was making lip balms. I make these every year. They are super easy to make and have only 4-5 ingredients in them:

Shea Butter / Bees Wax / Coconut Oil / Essential Oil / Mica Powder

Ingredients
melt in double boiler, add color & essential oil if using.
fill the tubes and let cool

I tried using the blue holder in the picture, but it had  been warped in storage. I instead used an elastic around the tubes and a glass dropper to fill them. It actually went more smoothly with the elastic bands.

I made a plain peppermint, tinted pink peppermint, and an experimental tangerine.  We give these as gifts and also have a supply that gets us through winter. All organic, no extra ingredients and a fun craft to do each year. =)
