Hi Leigh Anne,
It really should be the essential oil as this is an oil only and peppermint extract is the oils extracted with alcohol of some sort, usually. It also may be created by artificial means, so it’s best to look into that. Peppermint essential oil is definitely better to stick with as the recipe is created for the strength of an essential oil and doesn’t account for the alcohol and how that may interact with the shea butter, beeswax etc..
I hope you enjoy making the lip balm,
Benna
