1
Weigh all Phase A ingredients (castor oil, beeswax, shea butter, CCT, jojoba oil, macadamia oil, cocoa butter) into a heat-safe beaker.
2
Melt in a water bath or double boiler at 70-75C until fully liquid.
3
Remove from heat. Allow to cool slightly to about 55-60C.
4
Add Phase B (flavor oil, vitamin E, mica). Stir well to distribute the mica evenly.
5
Pour immediately into lip balm tubes or tins while still liquid.
6
Allow to cool and set completely before capping. Label and date.

Tips & Notes

•Anhydrous (water-free) formula: no preservative is needed and pH does not apply.
•Pour into tubes or molds while still warm because the mixture sets quickly.
•More beeswax creates a firmer balm. More oil creates a softer balm.
•Mica is optional. Skip it for a clear balm.
•This formula keeps total butter content at 10%, which stays within the beginner lip balm guide range.
•Flavor is held at 1% to keep the balm within the beginner lip-product guide range.
