Making Tea Tree Lip Balm

Derek makes this lip balm a few times each year.  It is a pleasant-scented, smooth balm with a pleasing bite for chapped lips.

Ingredients:
2 tsp (.3 oz) refined beeswax
3 tsp (.45 oz) sweet almond or castor oil
3 tsp (.45 oz) cocoa butter
.05 ox lanolin
10-15 drops Vitamin E oiil
10-15 drops Tea Tree Oil

Instructions:
Melt beeswax and cocoa butter in a double boiler.  Add all other ingredients and melt.  Stir thoroughly and pour into containers.  We prefer tin containers that fit flat into our pockets, and reuse the same ones repeatedly.
