Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon shea butter
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon beeswax
- 2 trips orange peel 4 inches long
- 2 trips lemon peel four inches long
- 6 drops orange essential oil optional in place of peel, or citrus essential oil
- 6 drops Lemon Essential Oil optional in place of peel
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients except essential oils into a double boiler and heat until everything is liquid and mixed. This takes roughly six minutes but I leave mine going for ten to better infuse the rinds.
- While this is boiling, set up your lip chap tubes and funnel. Have everything ready because you don't have a lot of time to pour before the mixture starts to harden.
- Remove from the double boiler. With a small knife or fork remove the rinds and whisk in essential oil.
- Moving quickly, pour the mixture into each individual tube slowly making sure to stop about a drop from the top.
- Let the tubes cool on the counter for one hour, place the tops on them and let them sit for twenty-four hours.
Notes
- Reminder: if using essential oils in place of the peels, do not use this lip chap out in the sun. Citrus essential oils attract the sun and can cause burns.

- This recipe uses a base of coconut oil which means that the lip balm will be softer if stored in warmer temperatures.
