How to make a Vegan White Chocolate and Peach Flavour Lip Balm - Recipe suitable for beginners

This Lip balm is gorgeously scented with a flavour oil and white chocolate, also offering a pleasant taste (though please do not eat it 😉)

You can fully customize this by replacing the oil, butter and flavour oil we list with any of your choice,  you may need to adjust the amounts of oil to butter depending on which butter you use, as some are softer than others.

This is an anhydrous formula, meaning that you do not need a preservative.  We’d advise a shelf life of 6-12 months, but you can do your own testing.  This may change depending on oil choice.

Remember that you need to stability test and obtain a CPSR before gifting or selling your finished products.

You’ll need:

If you want to add colour, then lip safe mica is a good choice.
