Lip Balm

During my nephew's visit, we made several varieties of lip balm.  The base was the same: beeswax, coconut oil, honey, and vitamin e.  We made a cherry version, an unscented version, and a lemon-eucalyptus version.  This last version should be worn while you have a stuffy nose.  It is safe for your lips, but helps open up the nasal passages to ease breathing!  Perfect items for winter!

Chocolate Covered Fruit Balms

On the left is Chocolate Covered Cherry Lip Balm.  On the right is Chocolate Covered Strawberry Lip Balm.  Yum!

Made from beeswax, coconut oil, cocoa butter, sweet almond oil, and vitamin e.  Thrown in is a hint of the appropriate fruit's oil.  

Lip Balm

I made three versions of lip balm.  All three versions contain vitamin e, honey, olive oil, and beeswax.  One is left unscented, one has orange essential oil, and the last is scented with spearmint, which also gives it a little tingle.  

Honey Lip Balms

Honey Lip Balms.  Made with honey, beeswax, EVOO, Vitamin E and Flaxseed oil!  Flaxseed oil is used to moisturize and smooth skin.  

A big thanks to my nephew, Joey, for his help in making these sweet little balms!  

Homemade colored lip balm

Before                                                                      After (my lips feel so much softer!)

Made from shea butter, beeswax, and a colorant you might have in your cupboard.  Any idea what it is?
