Chapped lips are a common winter woe, but you can fight the dryness with your own natural lip balm made from beeswax and your choice of natural oils.

Ingredients:

• ½ cup sweet almond oil (or other oil of your choice, like grapeseed, jojoba, etc)
• 1 oz filtered beeswax
• 5 drops vitamin E oil
• ½ tsp peppermint essential oil
• ¼ tsp aloe vera concentrate (if desired; not necessary)
• Lip balm tubes

Directions:

1. Melt beeswax in a double boiler.
2. Add oil. Beeswax may solidify; if so, just wait and stir a bit.
3. When liquid, remove from heat and add Vitamin E oil and essential oil. Mix thoroughly.
4. Carefully pour into tubes making sure not to burn your hands with the hot wax. Let cool and enjoy!

Helpful hint: our lip balm filling tray makes filling the tubes much easier!
