A natural lip balm. The new vaseline.
All the ingredients are natural and also beneficial for our health. Anything we put on the skin, or lips will be ingested by the body into the bloodstream, so you don’t want to use Vaseline which contains petroleum, or other lip balms with their fake chemical fragrances and pointless ingredients.
5 heaped tablespoons of coconut oil
1 tablespoon of olive oil
1 teaspoon of beeswax
2/3 drops of tea tree or peppermint oil.
1. Warm the coconut and beeswax in a double boiler (eg. an inch of water in saucepan with glass pyrex dish balanced on top without touching the water.)
2. Remove from heat when melted. It does take longer than you think to melt!
3. Add olive oil and stir/whisk.
4. Stir in a few drops of tree tea or peppermint.
5. Poor into a jam-jar or any glass container with a lid, when hottish, DO NOT put lid on until liquid is cool. Store in the fridge. It’s lasts years!
