Greetings! I'm back with an amazing lip balm recipe. Making your own lip balm is almost a must in winter! The dry air dries out your lips, and it might be too icy to take a trip to the store. Icy or not, this lip balm is super easy and fun to make, Plus the ingredients are all natural! The recipe below makes 1 regular tube or pot. Ingredients: 1 tsp grated beeswax (Must be grated!) 1 1/4 tsp coconut oil 5 drops of vitamin E oil 5-7 drops of peppermint essential oil. Do it!Microwave all ingredients in a pyrex measuring cup for 30 second intervals until the mixture is melted. (Tip: If there are only a few tiny pieces of beeswax in the melted mixture, just stir them with a chopstick until they melt.) Stir with a chopstick, and (carefully!) pour into your pot or tube. let harden for an hour or so before using. Your finished lip balm should be a nice creamy white color. I added a teensy bit of burt's bees red lipstick to mine for a light pink color. You can also leave out the essential oil, or use a different one, like maybe sweet orange or lavender. Happy lip balm making! -Flala
