SharAmbrosia Chamomile Lip Balm

 

This recipe is courtesy of SharAmbrosia

 

 

 

 

 

 

1/2 tsp. Macadamia Nut oil

 

1/2 tsp. Jojoba oil

 

1 tsp. lanolin

 

1/2 tsp. Cocoa butter

 

1/2 tsp. Beeswax

 

1/2 tsp. Chamomile flowers (dried)

In a double-boiler, melt 1/2 tsp. Macadamia Nut oil, 1/2 tsp. jojoba oil, 1/2 tsp. lanolin and 1/2 tsp. Cocoa butter until it is liquefied. Add 1/2 tsp. of dried Chamomile flowers and stir gently for about 10 minutes. Strain the mixture with a very fine sieve into a small Pyrex ramekin and clean the area of the double boiler where you had the mixture (Dry the area well). Pour the new strained mixture back into the double boiler and reheat. Add another 1/2 tsp. of lanolin and 1/2 tsp. of beeswax shavings. Heat and stir until liquefied completely. Remove from the heat and pour into a 1/2 oz. amber or cobalt container. This is enough for personal use. To use on dry hands, or to give as gifts, you'll want to double or triple this recipe.

This is a very soothing formula that has real "staying" power

Thank you for this one. I desperately need it as I have chronically dry lips. Is there a significance to using an amber or cobalt container? Where do you all get your flowers? Do you grow them yourself? What are your favorite ways for drying flowers or herbs?
