Its fun to try and make everyday items from scratch. You can make cosmetics, simple creams, lip balm and salves very easily. What’s nice about it, is you know exactly what is in them and for kids or babies its a good idea to make sure you are using pure ingredients. Oils such as Shea Oil, Bees Wax, Jojoba Oil and natural extracted oils such as Lavender, Rose, Peppermint, Bergamot add healing properties, scents and interest to your lib balm.

Lip Balm

16 oz. of Balm

Ingredients

1 oz Jojoba Oil

2 oz. Cocoa Butter

1 oz. Beeswax

1 oz Shea Oil

6- 8 drops of Essential oil

Notes

Specialty suppliers that we like to use are:

Bulk Apothecary, From Nature with Love, Young Living

We have found the easiest way to melt and pour the balm is with the melting pot.

Remember this recipe makes quite a bit and it can always  be re-melted and altered. Perhaps you want more or another type of Essential oil added to it or make a creamer consistency you could add more cocoa butter or shea butter too it.
