this has some pretty simple ingredients. and i'm sure you can make other scents and/or flavors by using other extracts.





1 tablespoon beeswax


2 tablespoons almond extract


3-5 drops peppermint extract





Fill a small saucepan 1/3 full with hot water.


Place all the above in a pottery creamer.


Use a creamer because it's easy to pour.


Set the creamer in the saucepan and heat the water until all the ingredients are melted.


Pour hot mixture into small (purse size?) jars.


Close tightly.

Base Lip Balm





Recipe 1 (for Jars)


33gr Beeswax


65ml Vegetable Oil


2 ml Essential Oils*





Recipe 2 (Jars and Lip Balm Cylinders)


28gr Beeswax


20gr Cocoa butter


50ml/gr Vegetable Oils *


2 ml Essential oils (40 - 50 drops)





*Orange Lemon, Mandarin, Lime, Grapefruit, Anise, Fennel or a small amount of Peppermint. We use large amounts of Essential Oils to compensate for heat evaporation.





Method:





Heat all the ingredients except any Essential Oils in the beaker or stainless steel cup immersed in a pan of hot water (double boiler).


Stir and melt fully.


When everything has melted, add 30 drops of each Essential Oil (or 60 of a blend of them).


You can pour this product into a glass jar or professional lip balm cylinder.


When pouring into cylinders, pour up to 3/4 full, allow to cool and then, after 10 minutes, top up (the contents will have contracted slightly).


Leave for a few minutes before putting on the lids.


Different kinds of lip balm can be made through the addition of other fat-soluble ingredients (see below). For every e.g. 5ml of anything else which is liquid you will need to remove 5ml of the Vegetable Oil. Most of the additional ingredients, apart from Essential Oils, will need to be heated with the main ingredients.





Here are some examples of what you can add to the base lip balm to make the type of lip balm you want:





Lip balm for sun protection - add Tiosol (10ml for sun factor 12, or 5ml for sun factor 5-6)





Lip balm with Zinc - add 5ml Zinc Oxide (do not reduce the amount of Vegetable Oil)





Tea Tree lip balm (for sore lips) - add 1-8ml Tea Tree Oil and 1-2ml Lavender Oil as your Essential Oils





Vitamin lip balm - add 2ml Vitamin E and 5 drops of Carotene
This is actually called Chapped Lipstick #2 in the recipe, but it should serve the purpose-





Melt 1 Tablespoons bee wax and 1 teaspoon cocooa butter. Warm 2 Tablespoons olive oil and 1 teaspoon almond oil. combine the oils and the wax mixture, and beat until creamy and cool.





I also have a recipe for LIp Salve, Lip Gloss and even Apple Freshner, if you're interested.
Vaseline + vanilla extract + drops of color to make it look ';cheery';. I made it once and it really works. It doesn't taste any good but smells delicious! Best of luck!
check out www.craftbits.com they have a section on how to make bath products and you may be able to get a good recipe there.
