Easy Lip Balm
3 oz oil (I like to use a combination of oils: sweet almond, jojoba, emu, hemp, avocado, shea or mango butter, etc.)
.5 oz of cocoa butter
1 oz of beeswax
essential oil or lip balm flavoring to taste
Melt beeswax in a glass measuring cup in the microwave for a few minutes - when the beeswax is melted - add the cocoa butter and melt in the microwave - when this is melted - add oils and stir well – make sure mixture is in liquid form.. Allow this liquid mixture to cool for a few minutes. Add essential oil or lip balm flavoring to taste - remember that a little goes a long way. I like using essentials oils of peppermint, spearmint, lavender, tea tree, orange, lemon, etc.
Fill sterilized lip balm tubes or lip balm pots – let cool completely before placing on lid.
This recipe will fill 25 lip balm tubes or clear lip balm pots.

Easy Herbal Salve
3 oz herbal infused oil (.5 oz of emu and/or hempseed oil can be used)
.5 oz of beeswax
Melt beeswax in a glass measuring cup in the microwave for a few minutes – when melted slowly add the herbal infused oil and stir. Fill sterilized containers – let cool completely before placing on lid.
My favorite herbal infused oil is calendula, chamomile, lavender and chaparral. If you would like your salve “softer” add more oil – if you would like your salve “harder” add less oil.
