For almost a year now, I have been making my own hair and body butter with natural products. I have actually found that making my own products saves me money because the natural products here in Bermuda are quite expensive. I have been wanting to make a lip balm but most recipes require beeswax which I can not find here. I found this recipe from Craftberry Bush that does not need beeswax and smells really good too.
Ingredients
1 teaspoon coconut oil
1 teaspoon sweet almond oil
3 drops vitamin E oil
4 semisweet chocolate chips ( I used 1/2 unsweetened chocolate square)
2 drops peppermint extract or any other extract
Method
Boil water in a saucepan
Place all ingredients in a glass bowl and place on top of the saucepan and melt all the ingredients.
Pour the melted ingredients in the containers and leave to cool.
This lip balm smells absolutely delicious and will keep for 8 weeks. Coconut oil melts in warm temperature so remember to keep it in a cool place.
