Double boiler or mason jar + saucepan
Measuring cups
Small jars, tins, or empty lip balm tubes
Pipette or tube filling tray

Ingredients

¼ cup coconut oil
¼ cup avocado oil
¼ cup olive oil
3.5 oz beeswax

Instructions

In a double boiler (or microwave-safe bowl), melt the beeswax, coconut oil, avocado oil, and olive oil together over low heat.
Stir gently until everything is melted and smooth.
Remove from heat and stir in any optional add-ins (essential oils, vitamin E, or natural tint).
Pour carefully into tins, jars, or tubes.
Let cool and harden completely before capping or using.

Notes

💡 Tip: If you’re filling tubes, use a pipette (large eye dropper) or small funnel. If the dropper clogs, re-warm it briefly in the microwave. Rubber band several tubes together to help them stand up!
