The Bestest Lip Balm Ever!
3:52 AM Edit This 0 Comments »
For those interested in making your own cosmetics and the like, I thought I would share this recipe for Lip Balm. It is fantastic, really works and doesn't lick off so easy! It smells like an after-dinner mint, but it doesn't really taste that way unfortunately.
1 1/2 oz beeswax
1 1/2 oz shea butter
1 oz cocoa butter
2 oz sweet almond oil
few drops peppermint essential oil (to taste)
a bit of cooking chocolate (again, to taste) - use the best stuff if you can
1 teaspoon vitamin E oil.
In a Bain Marie (or bowl over a pot of water if you like) melt beeswax over a very low heat. When melted, add the cocoa and shea butters, melt and then add sweet almond oil. Add chocolate and melt, then add the vitamin e oil. Remove from heat and stir in essential oil. Pour into containers and let sit until cool.
This turns out a light chocolatey colour - quite pretty :)
Makes for very kissable lips!
