Healthy Vegan Homemade

 

Chapstick


1 1/4 teaspoons of candelilla wax

1 teaspoon coconut oil

1 teaspoon jojoba oil

1 teaspoon vitamin e oil

6 drops of spearmint essential oil (optional for flavor)


Put wax and coconut oil in a glass measuring cup and hang the cup over a pan of water. Bring the water to a gentle boil. After the wax is completely melted, add jojoba oil and vitamin e oil and continue heating for about 30 seconds until it looks combined. Stir with a metal spoon. Remove from heat, add essential oil, stir. Cool for a few minutes. Pour into empty chapstick tubes. This recipe makes 3 tubes. Wash the measuring cup and spoon right away while it is still warm.
