Homemade Lip Balm Recipe

Lip balm recipe



Heres a great new lip balm recipe I found:
For firmer lip balm:

For the firmer lip balm:
1 tablespoon of beeswax
1 tablespoon of coconut oil
1 tablespoon of cocoa butter
teaspoon of sweet almond oil (or can use olive oil)
15-20 drops of peppermint essential oil (this recipe I also make without an essential oil as the mixture of the cocoa butter, coconut oil, and beeswax smells wonderful together just as it is).
For softer lip balm:

For the softer lip balm:

1 tablespoon of beeswax
1 tablespoon of sweet almond oil
1 tablespoon of cocoa butter
1 tablespoon of olive oil
5-10 drops of honey almond essential
If you put in half a crayon it will give it color!
Your suppose to leave it out overnight and let it cool for 10 hours but we just put it in the freezer for a few hours. 
We'll keep you updated on the lip balm.

Introduction


This blog is created as part of our Girl Scout troop's silver project. Our mission is to inform people of things that currently concern us. One major concern we have as growing young adults deals with toxins in our daily environments and how they are effecting us. We would like to share some things we have learned about toxic ingredients we have found in our personal products as well as house hold items. Read our blog to learn more about specific ingredients, safer choices and how to make some items at home.
