2 Tablespoons Baking Soda
1/2 Teaspoon Natural Green Stevia

Burt's Bees Lip Balm (Copycat Recipe)
Ingredients:
20 grams Beeswax (about 3 Tablespoons of the whiter beads, but you can use a white/yellow bar too)
20 grams Cocoa Butter or Coconut Oil (about 2 Tablespoons)
45 grams Sunflower Oil (1/4 cup)
8 drops Vitaman E oil (4 vitamin E oil tablets worth)
2 drops DoTerra Rosemary essential oil
12 drops DoTerra Peppermint essential oil
Pea-sized drop of Lanolin (don’t use much of this or your balm will taste bad)
Directions:
Step one – measure out all your ingredients except essential oils into a cup or pan. I cut open the little Vitamin E tablets and squeezed the good stuff into the cup
.Next, melt all the ingredients, and stir. The beeswax seemed to take the longest to melt, but it was all melted within a couple of minutes.
Once it’s all melted add your essential oils and mix it up.
Then use a dropper to add the melted goodness into chapstick tubes. (If it cools too quickly before you’re done filling your tubes, just pop it in the microwave till it melts again.)

1/2 teaspoon of REAL stevia
15 Drops of OnGuard (or Thieves) Essential oil
10 Drops of Peppermint Essential oil
Directions:
Step One: Put your bentonite clay in a bowl. Heat the water on the stove and then stir in the coconut oil till it is melted.

Step Three: Add the salt, stevia, and essential oils and continue to blend until it is completely blended.
