It melts at body temperature, and is also suitable as a shaving moisturizer, quite the kitchen multi-tasker.

For winter use, small amounts of the solid coconut oil can be melted down in the microwave and poured into small tins for use as a lip balm. Scent with 1 drop of peppermint essential oil per 2 tsp of melted coconut oil. Adding a 1/4 tsp of cocoa powder to the hot melted 2 tsp of coconut oil, softens the mint aroma, and cushions it with day dreams of sipping hot chocolate. It’s a splendid combination!

Note- this shouldn’t be carried in your pocket as it will melt to a liquid. Think of this balm as a bedside treat.
