i did hear once that you heat them and can use them but i cant remember no more of it.


please help greatly appreciated.Where can you get beeswax from to make lip balms?
Most craft stores sell bees wax, but I don't really know about how good that is for use in cosmetic products. Your best bet might be to look online for a seller. Many people sell supplies for craft projects like this, and you will most likely find the largest selection this way.





Try a local health food store for things like almond oil, wintergreen oil, coconut oil... these things are great for the skin and will give the balm a plesant smell and texture.





You can use things like fruit and vegitables to make coloring, but most of the time this ends up being water based anyhow. That also might effect the shelf life of your product, but I haven't actually done any research on this specific application of natural dyes.Where can you get beeswax from to make lip balms?
Try ebay.





Otherwise, if your area has a local honey producer (bee farm) you can get bees wax there.





A final resort would be to buy honey with the honey comb intact. It is made of pure bees wax.
your local apiary or google it and there are lots of options
BEESwax. The clue is in the title...
i got my beeswax from the hairdressers'. you'll have to go to one which does afro hair coz beeswax is used on dreads
try melting beeswax into a little olive or sunflower oil and letting it set in a jar...its very good as a lip balm and tastes like honey.


[grate the beeswax, you only need about an ounce to about 2 teaspoons of the oil] Get the beeswax at any farm where they sell their own honey. Or places like Holland and Barrett.
maybe you could go to the chemist. Or you could go to a shop called Lush you might have one near you. It makes homemade cosmetics from natural ingredients. You can smell it from a mile away and the Christmas stuff is really good if you need any inspiration for a present. But about the honey comb you could get if from a deli shop or try on eBay food and drink!!!!!!!! hope this helps Livy
I would go to a organic/all natural food store. But burt's bees also makes their own beeswax lip balm too. It's excellent. All their products are.
Try a local company that makes their own honey.I've found this link on how to make it too.
