peppermint essential oil
your answers would be great!Homemade lip balm with these ingredients?
It seems most people like to find a combination of ingredients that works for them. I once tried to make lip balm and the hardest part for me was getting the right consistency.
* 40% (By WEIGHT) of your recipe should be any cosmetic grade oil that is liquid at room temperature (sweet almond, apricot kernel, avocado, grapeseed, hemp seed, macadamia, olive, sunflower, etc.)
* 25% of your recipe should be any cosmetic grade oil that is solid at room temperature (coconut, lanolin, palm, mango butter, shea butter, etc
* 20% of your recipe should be cosmetic grade Beeswax (white or yellow, pellets or solid blocks)
* 15% of your recipe should be any cosmetic grade oil that is brittle at room temperature (cocoa butter, palm kernel, etc.)
