Preparation of Chamomile Lip Balm
- Melt the macadamia nut oil, jojoba oil, lanolin and the cocoa butter, in a double-boiler.
- Add the dried chamomile flowers to the mixture and gently stir the mixture for about 10 minutes.
- Use a fine strainer or sieve, to strain the mixture and remove the dried chamomile petals. Strain the mixture into a vessel made of Pyrex. A ramekin would be ideal. Clean the double-boiler.

- While reheating the mixture, add half teaspoons each of lanolin and beeswax.
- Heat the mixture continuously till it becomes a smooth liquid. There should be no lumps or granules.
