Vitamin E
Almond oil
coconut oil
peppermint oil
beeswax
cocoa butter
This really is the best for your wintery chapped lips. Doesn't compare to the stuff sitting close by the checkout counter.
Made it last year with the ladies, and had to rough it on my own this year.
1/2 ounce beeswax
2 teaspoons olive oil or jojoba oil
2 teaspoons coconut oil (solid at 74º F)
1 teaspoon shea butter or cocoa butter
1/2 teaspoon pure aloe vera
1/4 teaspoon vitamin E oil
5-7 drops essential oil (like peppermint or grapefruit)
In a double boiler, combine the beeswax, olive oil, coconut oil, and the shea/cocoa butter. Heat over low heat just until oils and beeswax are melted. Remove from heat. Stir in aloe vera, vitamin E, and the essential oils.
Pour the mixture into small 0.15-ounce tubes. Allow to cool completely to set.
Makes (7) 0.15-ounce lip balm tubes.
