Beeswax Pellets/Pastilles

Beeswax is a common product used in cosmetics and is derived from honeybees. For a honeybee to obtain 1 pound of beeswax it must ingest 9-10 pounds of honey and visit almost 18-20 million flowers.  Absolutely amazing isn’t it!? As the ole saying goes, “Busy as a bee” proves its point. Using beeswax in lip balm recipes works as a skin softener. It aids in the healing of cracked or dry lips and prevents lips from becoming chapped.

There are three types of beeswax: yellow, white and beeswax absolute.

• Yellow beeswax is the raw product, fully refined and safe for making lip balms.
• White beeswax is naturally bleached through sunlight and moisture. It too is safe for making lip balms.
• Beeswax absolute is yellow and has been extracted from the honeycomb with solvents. Not recommended.

Coconut Oil

Coconut oil is used primarily for its moisturizing effects making it ideal for chapped lips. Since coconut oil can be found in liquid or solid form this recipe calls for the solid form.

Jojoba Oil

Jojoba oil has been known as a folk medicine to treat many ailments back in the day. Today, it is used to treat acne, psoriasis, sunburns and chapped skin. Jojoba oil is naturally gentle and non-irritating therefore making it suitable for all skin types. Jojoba oil is great for hydrating dry skin making it a perfect ingredient for a lip balm.

Shea Butter

Shea butter is a fat extracted from the nut of the African shea tree. It is widely used in cosmetics, moisturizers, and lotions. Shea butter is solid at room temperature and when melted it has a buttery rich consistency. Shea butter is ideal for using in lip balms and body butters.

Essential Oils

The following essential oils are generally safe when making lip balms:

• Camphor (intended for cold sores. Use 1-2 drops for adults only)
• Clove (very warming, use 1 to 2 drops)
• Lemon (distilled, not cold pressed)
• Lime (distilled not cold-pressed)
• Mandarin
• Orange
• Peppermint
• Spearmint
• Tangerine – my favorite!
• Tea Tree Oil (anti-bacterial, anti-viral. Use sparingly, short-term and only in adults)
• Vanilla Absolute

The above essential oils are only recommendations. You can always add your own creation or combination.

Fill lip balm tubes

Using a glass dropper, fill each lip balm container as full as you can without overflowing (if the mixture begins to thicken reheat and continue filling containers).
