5 THE BAS IC T OOLS : Grater Wax paper Ziploc bag THE BAS IC METHO D: 1. Heat the oil and beeswax in a double boiler (or microwave) until the beeswax has melted. 2. Remove from heat and whip with an electric beater until creamy. 3. Add the honey or glycerin and approximately 5 drops of flavoring oil; whip some more. Store in small containers such as recycled lip GLOSS /balm containers or other small makeup containers. 35mm film containers work quite well. Other places to look include stores that carry beads, crafts, or fishing tackle supplies.
6 OTHER T IPS A ND TR ICKS If the fragrance and taste is weak, add a few more flavoring to make it stronger. Try different oils on your lips to choose the best one for your skin and taste preference. If the Balm is too hard (waxy), add more oil to your mixture. If it is too soft, add more wax. You can add a few drops of beetroot juice for a beautiful & natural red color. But instead of going to that trouble, you can just shave off a little of your lip stick for that beautiful (not natural) color. 2008 The Handcrafter s Companion.
7 6 Don't use food coloring as it may contain alcohol base. Never use extracts found in cooking sections of the grocery stores as they contain alcohol. Use safe essential oils. The good part about them is they have thousands of great flavors. Comfrey, Rosemary, Tea Tree or Camphor Oils are excellent for healing effects. Use a cotton swab to apply the lip- GLOSS to your lips to help it last longer. your lip- GLOSS should last a long time. If your lip balm changes color, odor, or texture, it has gone off so throws it away. 2008 The Handcrafter s Companion.
