Making Peppermint Lip Balm

Bees Wax

Derek makes fabulous lip balm.  This time may be his best.  He used the wax from our bees.  The result is a light, slightly sweet and very smooth lip balm.


Ingredients:
1.5 oz beeswax
2.25 oz sweet almond oil
2.25 oz cocoa butter
.25 oz lanolin
50 drops Tea Tree Oil
50 drops Peppermint Oil

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