Apricot and Lemon Lip Balm

posted by Juanita 12-29-99 5:22 AM

 

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. ... "
