How to Make Emu Oil Lip Balm

Emu oil is full of natural, essential fatty acids that allow the oil to completely penetrate the skin and be absorbed rapidly. Emu oil lip balm will sooth and replenish chapped lips, and continued use will keep your lips moisturized and healthy. It's is so easy to make that you can whip up several tubes to have available when you need them.
