Lip Balm Moisturizers and Lip Gloss Recipes

Lip Balm Moisturizers and Lip Gloss Recipes.

For each lip gloss recipe; Always melt all of the carrier oils, beewax, honey and butters over low heat. Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then add the flavored oils, vitamin E ... over low heat.

Add the essential oils last. Stir until all ingredients are well blended and pour into separate containers. Add lids after your recipes are completely cooled. You can always experiment with the amount of beeswax until you get the consistency that you desire.

For all of the recipes that include honey, you should continue to stir for as long as you can. This will allow the honey to disperse throughout the lip gloss. If any recipe come out too soft, add more beeswax; if it come out too hard, add more oil(s).


Apricot Lemon Lip Balm

Melt 1/4 cup of beeswax in a double boiler.

While constantly stirring, add 1/4 cup each of calendula and apricot kernel essential oils. Still stirring, remove from the heat. After the mix is partly cooled, add the essential oils and stir.

Store the finished lip balm in a glass container.
