Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare a double boiler by filling a saucepan with a few inches of water and placing a heat-safe bowl on top, ensuring it doesn't touch the water.
2. Heat the water gently and add the beeswax pellets to the bowl, allowing them to melt completely.
3. Once the beeswax is melted, add the coconut oil and shea butter (if using) to the bowl and stir until fully melted and combined.
4. Remove the bowl from heat and quickly stir in the honey until evenly mixed.
5. Pour the warm mixture into your clean containers or lip balm tubes, using a dropper or small funnel for precision if needed.
6. Let the lip balm cool and solidify at room temperature for about 1-2 hours.
7. Once solid, cap the containers and label if desired. Store in a cool, dry place.
8. Apply as needed to keep lips soft and hydrated.
