Method

1. Combine the Japanese wax, shea butter and chosen oil in a heat-resistant container.

2. Gently heat over a water bath until fully melted.

3. Stir well and remove from the heat.

4. Allow to cool slightly while remaining liquid.

5. Add Vitamin E and optional lip-safe flavour.

6. Mix thoroughly.

7. Pour into a clean, completely dry pot.

8. Allow to cool and set completely.

Use

Apply to the lips whenever needed.

It is particularly pleasant during colder weather or whenever the lips feel dry and need richer lipid care.

Packaging

For this formula, a small pot is recommended, as 10% Japanese wax creates a softer and creamier texture.

For stick packaging, the wax level would need to be increased to create a firmer balm.

Properties

The balm is soft, smooth and easy to apply. The combination of Japanese wax, shea butter and sweet almond or apricot kernel oil provides a rich, comfortable feel without an overly hard or waxy texture.
