Essential Ingredients for Minty & Champagne Lip Balm
You'll need a few key ingredients to create your own minty lip balm and champagne lip gloss. Start with a Natural Lip Balm and Body Butter Base for a quick and effective lip product foundation. This base ensures a creamy texture for balms and a glossy finish when combined with castor oil, essential for achieving that luscious, shiny look. Don't substitute castor oil, as it's unique in dissolving beeswax to create the perfect glossiness.
Crafting the Mint Lip Balm
SUPPLIES
Before starting this tutorial please make sure to read all instructions. Use caution when handling melted oils. Spray the work surface, utensils, and ramekin with 70% isopropanol and wipe with paper towels. Place teaspoons in the freezer 20 minutes before starting (optional).
This recipe makes 7 tubes of lip balm. If you would like to pour a greater number of lip balms, consider using a Lip Balm Tray.
Step 1 – Make the lip balm
Place the Natural Lip Balm Base in a small heat-proof ramekin. Microwave on high for 1 minute, swirling after 30 seconds, or until fully melted.
Add 14 drops of Peppermint Essential Oil (or 7 drops of Lip Flavor Oil of your choice and 7 drops of Sweetener Oil) to the lip balm. Swirl to mix.
To test the flavor of the lip balm, dip a frozen teaspoon in the melted base and swipe it across your lips. If desired, add up to 7 more drops of Peppermint Essential Oil or a mix of Lip Flavor Oil and Lip-Smacking Sweetener Oil.
Step 2 – Pour the lip balm
Using a disposable pipette, carefully transfer the melted base to the lip balm tubes. Fill each tube to the top. To make the tubes steadier, use a rubber band or hair tie to bind them together.
Tip: If the lip balm base has hardened in the pipette, you can microwave the pipette for a few seconds to get it flowing again.
Place the tubes in the freezer to harden for 10 minutes, or until fully set. To make the tops smoother, use a heat gun or hair dryer set on low to re-melt the tops of the lip balms (optional). Cap tubes and enjoy!
