Letβs Make Lip Balm!
- Step 1: Ask an adult to help with this part!Β In a heat-safe bowl over a pot of simmering water (or use a double boiler),Β melt your beeswax, shea butter, and oil. Stir until everything is smooth and melted.
- Step 2:Β Take your bowl off the heat and let it cool down to below 60Β°C or 140Β°F(so the scent doesn't disappear!).Now stir in your Vitamin E, flavor, and color or shimmer if you're using any.
- Step 3:Β Carefully pour the mix into your clean lip balm tubes. Use a pipette or tiny funnel if you donβt want any spills (itβs like a science lab!).
- Step 4: Let your lip balms cool for about 30 minutes. Once theyβre firm, pop the caps on and decorate with a fun label if you want!
How to Use Your Lip Balm:
- Twist the lid off and roll up the balm just a little.
- Gently apply to your lips β like coloring them in.
- Close the cap when you're done to keep it clean.
- Use anytime your lips feel dry or need a little care!Β
Lip Balm Safety Tips:
- Only use lip-safe colors and flavors (never spicy or citrus oils).
- Ask an adult if youβre not sure about anything.
- Do a tiny test on your arm first if youβve never used the ingredients.
-
Store in a cool place β if it melts, just put it in the fridge to fix it!
