- Once melted, carefully remove the bowl from heat. Let the mixture cool for a minute or two so it is not extremely hot.
- Stir in 4 to 8 drops of pure essential oil, if using. Mix well to evenly distribute the scent.4-6 drops essential oils
- Carefully pour the liquid into lip balm tubes, small tins, or other lip balm containers. Work slowly but efficiently to avoid spills as the mixture will begin to set as it cools.
- Allow the lip balm to cool at room temperature until fully solid. This usually takes about 30 to 60 minutes.Your homemade tallow lip balm is now ready to use.
