Lip and Skin Butter
20 ounces Almond Oil

glycerin and stir until all three are dispersed. Add the finely-
chopped beeswax, stirring until just melted, add the essential oil,
and pour the salve into containers. Stir the pot frequently and pour
as quickly as reasonable. If you take too long the lanolin and
glycerin may begin to separate.

stuff used for flavoring cakes and cookies in the baking section of

3 small drops of honey
1 vit. E capsule
Desert Sands Lip Balm

3 drops tea tree oil
3 drops peppermint oil
Rae's Lip Balm
1 oz shredded beeswax
1 oz aloe vera oil
1 lb jar petroleum jelly
20 drops liquid vitamin E
2 tablespoons witch hazel
2 tablespoons dried herbs
(recommended are : leaves from comfrey, lavender, and bee balm &
flowers from chamomile and calendula)
cheesecloth
Heat jelly until softened, add beeswax & herbs, continue to melt.
Strain herbs with cheesecloth. Stir in aloe, vit. E and witch hazel.
Pour into containers.
Soothing Herbal Lip Balm
Makes about 20 1/2 oz balms.
Ingredients:
1/8 oz (or 20 ml extract) each - powdered comfrey root, crushed
calendula flowers, powdered marshmallow root, crushed chamomile
flowers.
100 ml of sweet almond oil (base oil) and/or calendula flower oil
(infused)
40 ml Vitamin E
20 grams cocoa butter
50 grams beeswax
1 Tabl. lanolin
Optional ingredients:
2-3 T Alkanet (for red color)
12 ml bitter orange (opt for flavor) or
12 ml cinnamon (opt for flavor) or
12 ml vanilla (opt for flavor) or
12 ml anise (opt for flavor) or
12 ml spearmint (opt for flavor) or
8 ml peppermint (opt for flavor)
Measure and combine base oil with extracts into pot and simmer over
low heat until alcohol from extracts has evaporated (20-40 minutes
depending on batch size). (I used dried herbs and simmered them in
the oil for an hour. Strained them off and continued per recipe.) Cut
and weigh the beeswax, hold to the side while extract/oil mix is
simmering. Once alcohol has evaporated, strain oil/extract mixture to
remove "scum" which collected during heating process into measuring
cup. Slowly pour strained base oil/extract mix back into pot
capturing leftover "scum"/water in bottom of first measuring cup.
Pour only the clean mixture back into pot. Measure and add the
infused oil, lanolin and cocoa butter to pot. Place pot over low
heat, melt cocoa butter and lanolin. Add beeswax. Once beeswax is
melted, add vitamin E and EO or any other heat-sensitive ingredients.
Stir thoroughly but gently. Reduce heat on pot to keep mixture from
smoking but warm enough to keep beeswax from solidifying. Pour 1/2 a
measuring cup's worth of mixture from pot into 2nd measuring cup and
with a careful and steady hand, pour immediately into lip balm
containers. Repeat until all balm has been poured. Allow balm to
harden and cool for approx. 30 minutes before putting on lids.
Peppermint Lip Balm
2 Tbsp petroleum jelly
1 tsp beeswax
10-14 drops peppermint EO
In a small pot, melt the petroleum jelly, then add beeswax. When
melted, remove from heat and add peppermint EO. Pour into a lip pot
and cool.
Lorena's Lip Balm
1/2 oz. bees wax
10 ml. shea butter
50 ml sweet almond oil
20 ml. vit. E. oil
20 ml. avocado oil
10 ml. olive oil
25 drops citrus EO
10 drops myrrh EO
Melt beeswax in double boiler. When almost melted, add butter.
Slowly add the oils, stirring all the time. When completely melted,
remove from heat. Add essential oils. Pour into containers
immediately (do this fast or re-melt as it hardens.).
Lip Gloss
2 tsp beeswax
7 tsp castor oil or jojoba or sweet almond oil
1 tsp honey
5 drops of an essential oil such as lemon, peppermint, orange, lime,
tangerine
Melt the oil and beeswax together in a little pan over low heat until
the beeswax is melted.
Take off the stove and then add in your honey and whisk it all
together. When the mixture is nearly cool add in your essential oil,
mix it up again and then pour into your lip balm container.
Since this comes out to be more like a gloss you can always add more
beeswax to it so that it is a little harder. Maybe another 1/2 tsp
would do it.
Lip Soother
For dry, burning lips. Heat 1 level tsp. sodium alginate plus 1 cup
water until dissolved. After cooling, Pour it into a small bottle to
carry in your purse or pocket (refrigerate the remainder). Dab it on
whenever needed. If the consistency isn't right for you, add water or
boil it down further. You can make a better lip soother by adding
some lysine from a crushed tablet, vitamin C powder, and a vitamin E
capsule to the alginate mix. If you have a persistent problem with
chapped lips, try going off citrus juice.
Lip Stick
Infuse 1 oz of Alkanet in 4 oz almond oil for 1 week.
Strain and heat in a double boiler with about 2 tablespoons of
beeswax. Stir until cool.
As it is cooling add some vitamin E and an essential oil of choice
for fragrance.
Can be used with lip liner for a siren red color. Alone it is a sheer
red.
Color for Lips
Color for the lips is nothing more than cold cream with a larger
quantity of wax than usual melted in it with a few drams of carmine
for vermillion tint. Use a strong infusion of alkanet: keep the
chippings for 1 week in the almond oil of which the cold cream is
made. Afterwards incorporate with wax and spermaceti; always tie
alkanet in a muslin bag when it is needed for coloring.
