DIY: Lip Balm

Ingredients:

• 3 teaspoons grated unbleached beeswax
• 5 teaspoons carrier oil (sunflower, castor, or jojoba)
• 6 or 7 drops essential oil
• 1 teaspoon honey, for flavor

Directions

1. Melt the beeswax and carrier oil together in the top of a double boiler, stirring to combine. Remove from heat; add honey and essential oil. Mix thoroughly so the honey does not clump.
2. Pour mixture into containers; let sit 20 minutes before covering or moving. For glossier lip balm, use 2 teaspoons wax and 8 teaspoons carrier oil.
