What happens here

To combine and melt the base ingredients, set up a double boiler. Place a heat-safe measuring cup or a dedicated wax melting pitcher into a larger saucepan that is partially filled with water. Place this assembly on a stovetop burner and bring the water to a gentle simmer. Add the organic beeswax, organic shea butter, and organic virgin coconut oil (ensuring equal parts of shea butter and coconut oil, and about 1/2 cup of beeswax for the given recipe) into the inner container. Continuously stir the mixture with a disposable utensil as it heats. Monitor the water temperature, ensuring it does not exceed 160°F (71°C) to prevent compromising the beneficial properties of the ingredients. Continue stirring until all solid ingredients have completely melted and are thoroughly blended into a smooth, homogeneous liquid.

Goal: Melt the solid base ingredients (beeswax, shea butter, coconut oil) together using a double boiler setup, ensuring a controlled temperature.

your stirring okay so when you make this mix you need to use a double boiler type system I guess I've got a couple different things this is a wax melting container and we also have this measuring container which we just have it sitting in warm water we don't want to water over 160 because it can disturb the makeup of our wax and our different butters our shea butter and our coconut oil our organic coconut oil and our organic shea butter all get mixed up together in the same container for the mix that I'm doing I need one full cup of mix to make 50 of these little lip balm applicators so I'm going to take these and mix them together heat them together and add my essential oils to them and stir them one thing of note when you buy your container to put these in you want to make sure that there are a food-grade type container that can seal up because people put this in their purse or in their car and it'll leak out if it gets hot basically this stuff will heat up to 120 degrees and it'll turn the liquid again so it'll leak out all over everything if you don't buy the proper container this is our wax melter right here and this is our mix with our shea butter essential oil and coconut oil and we're going to mix 1/2 cup of our coconut oil mix and a little over 1/2 cup of our beeswax and then we pour into
