Honey Orange Lip Balm – Lavender Orange Lip Balm

 

These two are my second favorites after the Peppermint lip balm,  I like it better than that Bees brand, which used to be my favorite.  This is about 1/3 of the price and everyone I give a lip balm too is hooked.

Honey Orange Lip Balm or Honey Lavender Lip Balm

1 Tbl raw unrefined shea butter (like this)

2 Tbl virgin organic cold pressed coconut oil (like this)

1 1/2 Tbl beeswax pellets (like these) or go to your local honey farmer and ask to buy their beeswax.  I get mine here at Austin Honey Co in a 1 lb block and I grate some of the block and pack pretty firmly into 2 Tbl.

1 tsp sweet almond oil

1 tsp raw organic honey I get mine form the Austin Honey Co it would be nice if you have a local honey farmer you can support

Beeswax

Essential oils  15 drops orange or lavender depending on your preference

INSTRUCTIONS

Melt everything except the essential oils in a double boiler or in a pot setting in another pt of boiling water on medium.  Let it cool for about 5 minutes and then add 15 drops orange essential oil (I only use these)
