Apricot and Lemon Lip Balm
Tess August 17th, 2006
* 1 tsp. beeswax
* 1 tsp. apricot kernel oil
* 1 tsp. calendula oil
* a few drops essential oil of lemon or orange
Melt the beeswax. Add the apricot and calendula oils, stirring constantly. Remove from heat while stirring, and when partly cooled, add the essential oil. Store in a small pot.
Note: “Using tablespoons, this makes 4 balm jars.” “There are places you can buy empty plastic or glass lip balm jars and I’m sure there are some on the Internet. I have used a clean, empty soup can for the mixing. Be careful that your heat source isn’t too hot. …”
