Remove the caps of about 15 lip balm tubes and place the tubes upright in a bowl, box or something that will hold them upright. Set aside.
Combine beeswax, Shea butter and coconut oil in an 8 ounce glass jar.
Set the glass jar in a small saucepan filled halfway with cool water.
Heat the saucepan over medium low heat and gently melt the contents in the glass jar. Be sure to not heat the contents too quickly, as the jar may burst, due to the change in temperature. It may take about 10 minutes for the contents to melt.
Meanwhile, combine the essential oil, vitamin E oil and almond oil in a small glass measuring cup with a pour spout. Set aside.
When the beeswax mixture has melted, remove the saucepan from heat. Be sure to keep the saucepan full of warm water nearby. Quickly pour the beeswax mixture into the essential oil mixture and stir to combine.
Quickly fill all of the lip balm tubes. If the mixture starts to harden, simply set the measuring cup in the saucepan full of warm water for a bit, until it melts again. Continue pouring all of the mixture into the tubes.
When all of the tubes are full, place the caps on all tubes and let them cool for several hours. When cooled and hardened, store them in a cool, dry place until ready to use.
