This is the perfect lip salve for this time of year. Our lips are chapped and need some lovin' and this salve can provide just that. The Vitamin E heals chapped and broken skin while the cocoa butter provides nourishing moisture and shine. The beet provides a hint of pink which is sure to brighten up even the dreariest of winter days.
What You'll Need:
2 oz. vitamin E oil
½ oz. cocoa butter
1 tablespoon water reserved from boiling beets on the stove top
6 - 8 little plastic or metal tins with lids
- First things first, sterilize your jars. This is always a must when creating beauty products. Place the jars and lids in boiling water for a few seconds. Remove from the water and wipe dry with a clean paper towel.
- Melt the cocoa butter in the microwave. This should take about 3 minutes.
- Pour the vitamin E oil into a small bowl. Using a fork, vigorously stir the oil as you SLOWLY add the tablespoon of beet water. Continue to stir until the beet water is incorporated.
- Next, continue to beat the oil/water mixture as you add the melted cocoa butter. Continue to beat until all ingredients are combined.
- Pour the mixture into your tins and secure the lids on each one. Place the tins in the refrigerator.
- Now comes the annoying part. Revisit your tins and give them a shake every few minutes to ensure the mixture does not separate. Refrigerate them until the mixture is solidified.
- Remove from the fridge and give the extras to your friends!
