How to Make Lip Balm / Lip Gloss

Want an all natural lip balm on your lips? This recipe is safe and preservative free. Your lips will love you for it.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 1 tsp Honey
• 1 T Vitamin E Oil
• 1 tsp. of Aloe Vera
• 2 tsp of grated beeswax
• 1 T pure almond extract
• 6 Drops of Essential Oil

1. First, over low heat melt the beeswax in a small pot. When the wax is melted remove from heat. You will need to stir constantly because the wax will harden up very quickly if it is not being stirred.

2. While you are stirring, add the honey, the aloe vera, the almond extract, and the vitamin E. Lastly, add the essential oil. Here is where you can get creative. You can use any combination of essential oil that you choose. The sky is the limit.

3. Store your safe and all natural lip balm in airtight container. Michaels craft store sells containers or you can use an old film container (cleaned, of course). It will harden up as it cools.

4.
