Allow the mixture to cool for 1 to 2 minutes, then add essential oil. Stir until completely combined. Immediately pour the mixture into your desired packaging (lip balm tubes are recommended options). Another dispenser option is to save paper towel or toilet tissue cardboard tubes, you will have to tape a bottom on the empty rolls, but to use you will simply peel back some cardboard around the sides to reveal the balm.
These bars are great for personal use or as gifts.
