All purpose lip balm
Take 2 spoons grated beeswax and 3 spoons of carrier oil like sunflower or jojoba oil and place it in a double boiler to heat. You can stir to mix them up. On heating, remove them and add essential oils. You can add honey or lemon if you like. You can also add vitamin E oils or calendula infused carrier oils to give herbal touch to your lip balm. Pour them into molds and allow them to settle for half an hour.
You can use essential oils as per your need. But it is important to remember the uses of the oil for example, cinnamon, clove are spicy and should be used sparingly while lemon and orange are refreshing and work well with most of the carrier oils.
