I dont know about you, but I go through lip balm like mad. I have one in my truck, car and by my bed, not to mention all the ones stashed in purse, kitchen etc..... I love balms, but am not a fan of the tubs where you have to dip your finger in.... although I really like that consistancy.... I finally came across a great recipe that I can pour into a tube and it works GREAT! Enjoy!
1/4 c. grapeseed oil/avocado oil
1/4 oz. beeswax
1 tsp raw honey
2-3 drops of pure Vitamin E
1/2 tsp. Lorann Oil flavoring (optional) OR Sweet Orange Essential Oil
In a microwave safe dish gently melt down the oil and beeswax. Blend in the rest of your ingredients and pur into tubs or tubes.
I've also amended the upbove to make a great "queasy stick" for when I get migraines/headaches
1/8 cup oil
1/4 oz. beeswax
1/4 tsp. peppermint oil
1/4 tsp. lavender
OR you can use any other variation: rosemary, lemongrass,
eucalyptus. Just make sure oils amount to 1/2 teaspoon.
Follow above directions. When set, I suggest you apply this to your temples or your wrists upon headache symptoms or feeling queasy... GOOD STUFF!

Dawn, this is wonderful! I would love to try and make some, but where can you get the tubes? And I don't know where to look for grapesees or avocado oil either. Thanks, Tammy
Best farm wishes |

Tammy- You can order the tubes online, just google "Lip balm tubes" "Packaging". Do you happen to have a Natural foods market near you? Usually they have an awesome array of oils in the cooking aisle. I always see Grapeseed oil and Avacado oil there. I have even seen Grapeseed oil on Supermarket shelves in some of the better stores.
