Homemade Lavender Lemon Lip Balm

Ingredients:
2 tblsp bees wax
4 tblsp coconut oil
7 drops lavender essential oil
7 drops lemon essential oil
2 drops vitamin E
Glass or tin lip balm or chapstick containers. As lemon oil is acidic it can eat into plastic and releases toxins.

2. Remove from heat, add oils, and whisk well.
3. Pour into containers and leave to cool on the bench.
