- Put the beaker of the beeswax into the beaker of heated water, wait till the wax mixture melt.
- Remove the beaker out of the water.
- Put 5 drops of fragrance into the mixture when it is 66 degree Celsius.
- Continue mixing the mix, to prevent it solidifying.
- Pour the liquid into the lip balm container.
- Wait till it solidifies, then your done.
Reflection: I, as well as my peers, likes the hardness and scent of my lip balm. Therefore, I will continue in my subsequent trial with a different scent. However, more oil will be needed to make my lip balm more moisturizing (approximately + 0.5g) and less wax and shea butter (-0.5g and 0.25g) to make the lip balm softer and smoother.
