Lip Balm ~ Very Moisterizing!

Very Moisturizing Lip Balm

4 oz Beeswax
2 oz Shea Butter
2 oz Cocoa Butter (deodorized for no scent, undeodorized for chocolate scent)
2 oz Sweet Almond Oil
2 oz Aloe Butter
Flavoring of choice, or none.

Melt the beeswax with a double boiler and add the shea butter, Cocoa butter, Aloe Butter and stir in the Sweet Almond oil when the butters have melted. This is a fairly large base amount and will fill lots of lip balm containers, so if you're going to be using flavoring, now is when you take a couple of small bowls (or several) and separate some of the base into other bowls. Flavor each the way you want it and pour into your lip balm tubes, tins or other containers. Leave till set. Close lids.

* This makes a bit, you can half or quarter this recipe if you'd like. I make the whole thing as if I have extra, I let it cool and just keep it covered and use it when needed. This lip balm is too thick to go in the roller bottle-type, use either the lip balm (the ones that look like chap stick tubes) or a small tin, or small container.
The tins and lip balm tubes are available for a good price at www.elementsbathandbody.com - it's where I get mine.
