Make your lip balm

You can also design a homemade lip balm using:

– a dose of beeswax (flakes are ideal in this case);

– an amount of shea or coconut butter (of firm consistency);

– two doses of liquid vegetable oil (jojoba, macadamia, sweet almond…);

– in option a drop of essential oil of ladaniferous Cistus (you will apply the balm to the lips, so be careful).

Note: for even better hydration, you can add aloe vera gel or a little honey.

Melt everything in a water bath except the essential oil that you will add once the whole is liquefied and just slightly cooled.

Put in a small jar with a lid and stir until the balm thickens; you can always adjust the consistency by adding liquid or solid essential oil and melting it again.
