Homemade Lip Balm

2 1/2 tsp. some type of oil (coconut, olive, castor, jojoba, or sweet almond)
(I used half coconut oil and half sweet almond oil)
1 tsp beeswax
couple drops essential oil (I used lemon to help preserve)

Pour the oil and beeswax in glass measuring cup and heat in microwave until melted. Stir to mix.
After this cools, add essential oil.
Pour into container of your choice.


5-6 Tbsp. coconut oil
1/4 cup baking soda
1/4 cup cornstarch
2 Tbsp. aloe vera gel

Combine baking soda and cornstarch.  Slowly add coconut oil and aloe vera gel.  Mix until desired consistency is obtained. This recipe makes enough to last about 6 months.
