  • Once the oil is infused, strain the flowers and reserve the oil.
  • Add the infused oil, cocoa butter, beeswax, and hibiscus powder in a double boiler over medium heat.
  • Stir constantly while all melts and blends together completely, only about 2 minutes.
  • Once the ingredients are smooth and an even color, pour the lip balm mixture into the containers or tubes of your choosing.
  • Allow the lip balm to cool until completely set, usually at least 1 hour.
  • Use and enjoy!
