Green Mandarin, Calendula & Vanilla Lip Balm

The basic idea is to first melt the beeswax and the vanilla jojoba, then add the calendula infused oil, and add the Green Mandarin essential oil last. Let the blend stand and harden for a few hours before use.

Measure the vanilla jojoba, calendula oil and beeswax by weight. I use a small kitchen scale to measure weight.
