1. In a double boiler (or heat-safe bowl over a saucepan), melt the beeswax, coconut oil, and shea butter together on low heat.
2. Stir gently until fully melted and combined.
3. Remove from heat and add essential oil (and mica if using). Stir well.
4. Quickly pour into small lip balm tins or tubes.
5. Let cool for 30–60 minutes at room temperature.
