Hemp & Honey Lip Balm
Ingredients:
10g beeswax or candelilla wax
10g cocoa butter
15g shea butter
4 tsp (20ml) sweet almond oil
1 teaspoon (5ml) hemp oil
2 teaspoons (10ml) honey
Equipment:
Bain marie or double boiler
Metal spoon
Small glass jug
Stick blender or milk frother
15ml jars or lip balm tins
Method:
Pour the mixture into the jars or tins to set
Melt the wax and the butters in bain marie along with the almond oil
Add hemp oil and honey and stir gently. As honey is water (not oil) soluble, it will not totally dissolve with heating and it will need to be mixed in the next step
Remove from heat and pour the hot mixture into a jug. Blend with a stick blender until the mixture is thicker but still pourable
