These make a nice holiday gift. In any of these recipes you can substitute your favorite infused oils and tiny amounts of tinctures can be substituted for flavoring extracts.
For all recipes:
Heat oil in a small double boiler. and slowly melt in crushed up beeswax. Add additional ingredients and then carefully pour lip balm into containers. Let the lip balm cure for 48 hours before using.
I have played around with adding essential oils to these recipes as well. Sweet orange essential oil and carrot seed oil are good in the honey lip balm. .
