Lip Balm recipe

Bath_and_Body : Message: Re: Lip Balms: Melt and Pour v. From Scratch: "Lip balms are easy to make from scratch and here is a simple recipe

4 oz beeswax, either white or regular
4 oz oil such as olive, almond, apricot kernal, etc
1/2 ts Vit E liquid

Melt all together in pot or in glass in microwave until beeswax is
melted then let it cool a while so it is not too hot and pour into a
lip balm tube and let it cool until firm before covering with the
top so moisture does not form inside the cover.

You can also add some sweetner if desired such as 1/4 ts of honey or
Stevia [natural sweetner] or Flavoring oils. Do not add Essential
Oils [EO] unless your sure no one is allergic to them and even then
only a few drops, and never add any Fragrance oils to a lip balm."
