Lip Balms  

Posted by Mermaiden in ,

The class by William Ismead at Fall Coronation 2011 taught me a simple process to make lip balms. I will be sharing his notes along with my experiment experience with the Barony in a class on Dec 13, so I have practiced said experiment in order to determine the right amount of content per container.

I created some balms last night and here's how it went!

First, you melt the beeswax.

 Next, you pour in the oil and let the mixture warm up, stirring.
 Add in the desired amount of essential oil for scent + flavoring.
*The best oils to use are citrus (lemon, lime, orange, tangerine, grapefruit), peppermint, and we'll see how Clove works out. Not too much or it will numb the lips! ;D

Now, you pour the mixture into the containers. Don't dilly dally around or it will start to cool off and harden in your container! Just re-heat if this occurs.

Now you wait a few minutes until it cools off.

And that's it! The balms are all done.
