Guest guest Posted September 13, 2000 Report Share Posted September 13, 2000 ««Lip salve Heat one part beeswax and six parts olive oil and pour the mix into a clean lipstick or lip balm container. Put into the fridge until hardened. Beeswax Lip Balm 2 tablespoons beeswax 1 tablespoon coconut oil Melt the ingredients over a double boiler. Pour into a container while still hot since it will harden as it cools. Makes about 1/4 cup. HONEY POT LIP BALM 2 tsp. olive oil 1/2 tsp. beeswax 1/2 tsp. cocoa butter 1/2 tsp. honey 3 drops essential oil of orange 1 vitamin E capsule Measure oil, beeswax and cocoa butter into a glass or enamel pan. Melt over low heat. A hotplate works well and reduces the risk of overheating the oils. I use a small glass jar to store my lip balm in so I just mix all the ingredients right in that jar then place it in a pan of water to melt the waxes. Stir the mixture often until the wax is melted. Remove from heat and stir in the honey and essential oil. Pinch open the vitamin E capsule and squeeze the contents into the mixture. Stir well. Pour the mixture into containers. Label after it has solidified. If you want your honey to be dispersed throughout the lip balm you will need to stir it as it is solidifying. Variations: Choose any essential oil that appeals to you. Tea Tree oil is good for cold sores and chapped lips. Make your lip balm using an herbal oil in place of the olive oil. Melissa (lemon balm) and Calendula are two of many herbs that can add healing and soothing properties. Alkanet will make red lip balm. Start with one tablespoon to 1/2 cup oil. After heat extraction, check the color. If it is not dark enough for you add more Alkanet and go through the heat extraction process again. Your lip balm will turn out several shades lighter than the color of your oil. Apricot & Lemon Lip Balm 1 t Beeswax (5 ml) 1 t Apricot kernel oil (5 ml) 1 t Calendula oil (5 ml) Few drops essential oil of Lemon or orange a delicious protective and healing gloss especially good for chapped lips. 1. melt the beeswax. Add the apricot and calendula oils, stirring constantly. 2. remove from the heat while stirring and when partly cooled, add the essential oils. 3. store in a small glass pot.»» Taken from list A-Recipe-for-Magick, posted by Lyz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 13, 2000 Report Share Posted September 13, 2000 What size are the tins and salves? I'd like to have 8 or 10, maybe, because as soon as I get some beeswax I'd like to start experimenting lip balms recipes. Thanks! And please take a break, those nasty pics make us all sick. I saw some myself 1 or 2 times here in the web, and I don't intend to see any more. How gross! I don't think it should be of difficult access, I think it's so horrid it should be stopped and erased! Adults are adults, they know what they're doing. But kids... And thanks for the lists addys, I d to them already, I'll do whatever I can or I remeber to aid this quest. Hugs!
