Healing Lip Balm





Note: Weigh all ingredients.





Ingredients:





1 1/2 oz beeswax pearls


1 oz cocoa butter


1 1/2 oz shea butter


2 oz. sweet almond oil


1-2 teaspoons flavor oil


1 teaspoon vitamin E liquid (optional, as a preservative)





Preparation:





In a very small pan, add the beeswax and melt over the lowest setting.


Once melted add the cocoa butter chunks and shea butter, let melt, and


then add the sweet almond oil. Heat through. Add the Vitamin E oil.


Remove from stove and pour into a glass measuring cup for easy pouring


into lip balm containers.





Add the flavor oil, or if you would like to make more than one flavor with


this recipe, separate into different glass jars or cups and then add the


flavor oils. Adjust the amount of flavor oil accordingly. Stir flavor oils in


and pour into lip balm containers. If the mixture starts to harden, place in the microwave for a few seconds to re-melt and then pour. Makes 6 ounces.Beeswax Lip Balm Recipe?
this is the basic recipe i use


now if you want a more creamy lip balm in a tub add a little more shea butter, if you want a more stable balm to put in a twist up tube, use a little more beeswax





15g cosmetic grade beeswax


25g shea butter


15g cocoa butter


25ml sweet almond oil


8ml Vit E oil


10 drops cosmetic flavouring oil





in a ban marie/double boiler, melt the beeswax, add cocoa butter take from heat and add shea butter, in as little time as you can, stir it in, but prolonged heat will spoil the shea butter effect, stir in oils, you can flavour, or not, even a little vanilla extract is nice(not essence though)


pour into tub/container and allow to set





it will set in about an hour, but leave overnight for best effect if using a twist up tube


i love this, no chemicals and very nourishing








***I'm sorry but i wouldnt advocate heating directly, or heating through the shea butter, the recipe looks great, but the method isnt i'm afraid, gentle heating is needed and you should never ';cook'; shea butter, all its beneficial elements are lost through heating
