Place all the ingredients (except the essential oils) in a double boiler.  If you don’t have a double boiler, you can make one by putting a glass bowl over a pot of boiling water.

Melt all the ingredients together, stirring often.

Once all the ingredients are melted together, remove from the heat, add essential oils, and mix well.  Work fast as the mixture will harden quickly after being removed from the heat.

With a small funnel, pipette, or old medicine dropper fill the lip balm containers with the mixture.

Let tubes sit at room temperature for a few hours until cooled and wholly hardened before capping them.
