Lip Balm Recipes

Lip Balm Recipe from http://www.herbalaccents.com/lipbalm,butter_lotionbars,bathbombs.htm

Lip Balm
Ingredients: 1/2 ounce beeswax beads
4 ounces sweet almond oil
1 teaspoon colored jojoba beads
2 teaspoons essential oil or food flavoring oil
We carry Cherry & Banana flavoring oils.

Some good essential oil choices that are nice are Tangerine, Lemon, Sweet Orange or Lime. The citrus oils seem to be popular for this application.

Utensils needed: 8 ounce glass measuring cup, teaspoon measuring spoon, stainless spoon for stirring and 1/4 ounce lip balm jars.
Put the 4 ounces of sweet almond oil in measuring cup, add beeswax beads and jojoba beads and melt in microwave. Stir with spoon, and when cooled a bit, add essential or flavoring oil. Pour into lip balm jars, and when cool, label.
