Submitted By:

Tiffany of Cartersville, GA

Ingredients:

1 1/2 tsp Beeswax
1 1/2 tsp Shea Butter
1/2 tsp Jojoba Oil
1/2 tsp Sweet Almond Oil
3-4 drops Sweet Orange Oil or Peppermint Oil (or flavor oil if you prefer)
10 drops vitamin E 1000 IU

Instructions:

Melt beeswax, shea butter, and oils together in a double boiler. Remove from heat. When mixture has cooled down a bit, add essential oil and the vitamin E into the mixture. Stir and pour into lip balm containers. Allow to solidify. This should be hard enough to use in lip balm tubes. If it is too hard, add a little more jojoba or sweet almond oil. Makes about 5 tubes.
