Balm For Chapped Lips

1/2 oz Beeswax
1/2 oz Coconut oil
2 Vitamin E capsules

Melt the beeswax and coconut oil together and add
the contents of the vitamin E capsules. Pour into
containers to cool. You can add a few drops of
Rosemary oil to help heal severely chapped lips.



Peppermint Lip Balm

1 3/4 teaspoons Coconut oil
2 teaspoons Cocoa Butter, melted
1 teaspoon Beeswax, melted
1/2 teaspoon Pumpkin Seed oil
2 drops Peppermint essential oil

Combine melted ingredients.
Stir quickly and fill containers.



Soothing Lip Balm

1 teaspoon Coconut oil
1 teaspoon Beeswax, melted
1 Vitamin E capsule
1 drop of Essential Oil
(Vanilla, Orange, Lemon or Tangerine)

Mix ingredients together and place in containers.



Sweet Lip Balm

5 to 6 Tablespoons Sweet Almond, Jojoba, or Castor oil
1 Tablespoon Beeswax
2 Tablespoons pure Honey
10 drops oil of Spearmint, Peppermint, or Tea Tree
OPTIONAL:
1/2 tube of favourite colored, moisturizing lipstick

Melt together oils and beeswax in a small saucepan over low heat, or micorwave till wax is melted. Use the larger amount of oil if you want a thinner, glossier consistency. Remove from heat. Add honey and blend mixture thoroughly. If you want to add color, add the lipstick now. Stir the mixture occasionally as it cools to prevent separation. It should be as thick as petroleum jelly when ready.. If you add essential oil add it after the gloss has almost cooled and stir thoroughly.
