Lip Balm
1/4 cup Sweet Almond Oil (found at health food stores)
1/4 - 1/2 oz Beeswax
Flavor Oil (found at Candy Supply Store)
Small Jars to store in
Pour 1/4 cup almond oil into the measuring cup.
Place measuring cup in the saucepan of warm water and heat gently.
Slowly add 1/4 ounce of beeswax to the warm oil, and wait for the wax to completely melt. (Make sure you keep enough water in the saucepan as the wax melts! Add more water if needed.)
Using an old metal spoon, mix the now liquid wax and oil potion together.
Flavor the balm by adding five drops of flavor oil and stir to blend.
Remove measuring cup with mixture from heat and set aside.
Now test the consistency and strength of your lip balm!
Pull your spoon out of the blended mixture, allowing a small puddle of balm to remain in spoon.
Carefully place spoon in refrigerator to cool.
When cool, gently run your finger over the hardened balm mixture.
If the Balm is too hard (waxy), add more oil to your mixture.
If it is too soft, add more wax.
Do this until you've reached the desired consistency.
A few more drops of flavor oil can be added at this time if desired.
Place measuring cup in the saucepan with water and back onto the stove to re-warm and melt any ingredients you may have added.
When all ingredients are thoroughly melted and mixed together, have an adult spoon balm into small jars.
Set aside to cool.

once i tried making my own lipbalm with CRAYONS. it tasted kind of weird, but I think I just melted some crayons and a bunch of leftovers from thanksgiving and a buncha glitter. It turned out okay.

I've made some killer chapstick... the ingredients are:
Olive oil and beeswax melted.... olive oil for the greasiness, and beeswax so it stays somewhat hard. Keep adding one or the other till you get the right consistency whether you like it harder or softer. Then add a few drops of escential oils. My favorite is almond and cherry mixed.

I don't remeber how to, I have made it before. If you can't find out, there are a lot of, I'll call them "activities" or places you can do it. I made lipbalm at my library. They held a class and we got to make it.

I have heard that mixing essential oils into pure beeswax is a good plan. Do you have any health food stores or organic salons near you? They could help.

By the time you buy all the ingredients you'd need, you'd be better off buying it ready made - believe me - check the label.
