Softening lip balm

Ths wonderful softening lip balm will protect as well as soften the sensitve skin on your lips. I have chosen to add Spearmint essential oil for it delicious flavor and also for it's antiseptic and healing properties. If you wish to experiment with other essential oils I suggest trying Lime, Mandarin, Orange, or Peppermint.

Ingredients

2 teaspoons beeswax (grated)
1 teaspoon shea butter
4 tablespoons apricot oil
1 teaspoon carrot infused oil
6 drops Spearmint

Method

Add the beeswax, shea butter and apricot oil to a glass pyrex jug. Sit this jug in a fry pan of simmering water and melt ingredients together.
Once they have all melted together add the carrot infused oil and mix well.
Once the mixture starts to cool, stir in the Spearmint oil.
Pour into small sterilized glass jars.
Cover tightly and label the product, including the date.
