Lip balm recipe.

Alrighty, so Today I had made some lip balm, and I thought i would share the recipe!

Ingredients:
~Beeswax (Can be found at most craft stores.)
~Vasaline
~Jojaba or almond oil
~Vanilla extract
~Almond extract
~Honey
~Essential oil(s) of your choice.
~Empty lip balm tube or container.

First get your double boiler started. Then Put in the desired amount of beeswax. Next scoop out vasaline, make it about a little under the same amount of beeswax that you put in. Make sure all of this melts as you stir it. Now, stir in a little honey, and add desired amount of whatever essential oil(s) of your choosing. Once completely melted, pour into container or tube. Next, put it in the fridge, until cool and hardend.
*NOTE*: If the mixture bubbles too much, than just lift up the top pan to stop bubbling.

Now you have you own lip balm! And it is alot cheaper than buying other store-brand lip balms!
