lip balm?

topic posted Tue, November 28, 2006 - 9:28 AM by  Elizabeth
Does anyone know a recipe for making lip balm? I have bee's wax and mineral oil and orange oil and cherry extract, and I'm thinking of putting together little baskets of things, including lip balm, but I don't know the quantities of ingredients. Any help?

          Where do you buy some of the ingredients like aloe vera gel? Think they are all in the drugstore?

            "Did it help?" I'm sure it would have, but I decided to drop it for this year, at least. I haven't been able to find suitable-sized containers easily, and I have a number of other things going.

            As to finding Aloe Vera juice, any health food store and Trader Joe's have it.

              find affordable and appropriate sized containers at mountainroseherbs.com
              look under containers. I got 1/4oz tubs for .42 apiece and they are the perfect size for the chocolate lipbalm I made. Super easy, super cheap and oh so handy.
              they also had most of the ingredients that I needed at better than store prices.

              me.
