You can make your own lip balm and hand salve!
No need to buy plastic and metal lip balm and hand salve containers over and over again -- making your own is quite simple.
Melt 1 part beeswax with 1 part oil (olive oil and almond oil work nicely), then pour into a small container. Might want to melt the wax and oil in a double-boiler made by placing a can in your pot of boiling water (so beeswax doesn't coat your pot).
Add a few drops of essential oil for scent. If the consistency is harder or softer than you want, re-melt and add more wax (to make harder)or oil and you're set.On A review of natural and organic lip balms posted 10 months ago 17 Responses
