This invigorating chai-inspired lip balm is packed with warming spices that create a pleasant tingling sensation. The essential oils stimulate circulation, giving lips a naturally fuller, rosy appearance. If you have sensitive lips, reduce the essential oil amounts by half or avoid using the balm if you don’t enjoy the warming effect.

Make It!
-
Melt the castor oil, beeswax, and carnauba wax in a double boiler.
