Peppermint Kissed Lip Tint

Fresh-Picked Beauty's Peppermint Kissed Lip Tint

There is something timeless about peppermint lip balm-that quick, tingly refresh that feels equal parts cozy and confident.  This recipe is easy enough for beginners, but good enough that you will keep remaking it long after you finish your first batch.  You will love the way it leaves your lips smooth, glossy, and hydrated. 

Peppermint Kissed Lip Tint
makes 4 tins of lip tint

6 grams Shea Butter

9 grams Coconut Oil

8 grams Beeswax (grated fine)

small piece of your favorite all-natural lip stick (I used about 1/8 teaspoon)

2 400 I.U. Vitamin E caps squeezed

8 drops of Peppermint Essential Oil

Add the Shea Butter, Coconut Oil and Beeswax into a metal or glass jar set in a double boiler. Heat the ingredients to 150 degress (beeswax will be fully melted). Hold for five minutes. Remove from heat, melt and blend in the piece of lipstick. Squeeze in the Vitamin E and add in the Peppermint Essential Oil.  Pour into 1/4 ounce lip balm tubes and allow to cool. Keep the finished product under 75 degrees and use within 3 months.
