Easy Chocolate Lip Balm
Ingredients You Will Need
1 teaspoon of beeswax
1 tsp Calendula oil
1 teaspoon of coconut oil
2 melted chocolate kisses  
1/4 teaspoon of peppermint

The first thing you need to do is melt the beeswax. Once the wax has melted, add in the oils and fully mix the ingredients. Remove the mixture from heat while stirring, then allow the mixture to partly cool. After about 30 seconds, add chocolate and peppermint. Allow the mix to cool completely. If you want a smooth appearance or finish, place the mixture in a refrigerator or in the freezer to cool.

The mixture will take on the shape of the container it is in. You can reuse old lip balm containers, buy new ones from a craft store or get a little creative. For example, some people have been known to use old food containers and jars or even test tubes in which to store their homemade lip balms.

Additionally, feel free to play with the color of your lip balm by adding fruit juices or food coloring to the mixture. If you want to add sparkle or shimmer to your lip balm, you can invest in cosmetic shimmer additives that can be found in most beauty supply stores or online. The more you practice with your homemade lip balm recipes, the more fun and more unique you can make them.
