* 1 Tbsp beeswax
* 1/4 Cup Almond Oil* 1 Tablespoon Virgin Olive Oil
* 2 Tablespoons Rosewater
* 2 Teaspoons Honey
* 2 drops Essential Oil (your choice)
This recipe uses a double boiler, but if you don't have one you can use a heat proof bowl and hold it over a small pot of gently boiling water (use an oven mitt!).
-Melt the beeswax in a double boiler over a low heat. When all the beeswax is liquid, stir in the oils and rosewater. The essential oil can be anything that you would think would be nice on your lips. I used wintergreen, but peppermint, anise or sweet orange could also be nice! Then remove the pan from heat but leave the bowl or the top part of the double boiler on top. Stir in the honey. Lastly, pour the mixture into a glass bowl and beat until cool. The end result will be thick and creamy-white. Scoop your new lip balm into jars and share some with your friends! This recipe makes enough to share :)
