Basic Lip Balm Recipe
It's easy to make lip balm out of natural materials and personalize them with your favorite flavor. This is one of our favorite basic lip balm recipes because it's easy and because it uses lanolin.
1 oz olive oil
.3 oz lanolin oil (will be solid until heated)
.4 oz shea butter
.4 oz beeswax
Choice of flavored oil and/or stevia for taste
Using a double boiler, gently melt the beeswax over medium-low heat. In a separate container, heat the shea butter and lanolin oil together until it is completely liquid. Add the olive oil to the melted shea butter and lanolin oil.
Now combine the beeswax with the other melted ingredients and stir well. Add your desired flavorings and pour into containers.
