Hi Marge, the only lip balm i have made i flavored with peppermint and chocolate from Lorann oils. Not the extract, but the oil based flavoring. People really liked it. Yours and His, Deoina Quote

Guest guest Posted October 27, 2004 Report Posted October 27, 2004 Herbal Lip Balm~ (im looking for a vegan recipe!) * 2 tbsp. beeswax * 4 tbsp. apricot oil * if desired add a couple of drops of any essential oils such as lemon or rose for a light flavor Melt beeswax w/ 4 tbsp. apricot oil, add 1/2 tsp. camphor, stirring frequently until camphor is dissolved. Pour into small glass jars to store! Bree Quote
Guest guest Posted October 28, 2004 Report Posted October 28, 2004 Beeswax isn't vegan. Not in the strictest sense, anyway. Neither is the use of honey. We use floral, other waxes to avoid any ethical problems : ) Bobbie > [Original Message] > breeann1021 <breeann1021 > > 10/28/2004 6:03:29 AM > lip balm > > > > > Herbal Lip Balm~ > (im looking for a vegan recipe!) * 2 tbsp. beeswax > * 4 tbsp. apricot oil > * if desired add a couple of drops of any essential oils such as > lemon or rose for a light flavor > > Melt beeswax w/ 4 tbsp. apricot oil, add 1/2 tsp. camphor, stirring > frequently until camphor is dissolved.

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2004 Report Posted October 29, 2004 Yeah I know that. I just wanted to note that I was looking for another one ) Good to know though. I have a recipe that calls for candelilla wax. That is vegan correct? Bree =======Robin Eastman <lostgirls wrote: Beeswax isn't vegan. Not in the strictest sense, anyway. Neither is theuse of honey.
