This recipe is both a guide for customization and a measured recipe, because I've found that multiple ingredients may be used, depending on what you currently have in your do-it-yourself toolbox, to make a great lip balm that will soothe and comfort your lips this fall and winter.
In a glass bowl, combine the butter of your choice, oil of your choice, and beeswax pellets.
Place the glass bowl on top of a saucepan partially filled with water over medium heat. Heat until the beeswax and butter are melted, stirring occasionally.
Turn off the heat and remove the bowl from the pot.
As the mixture cools, the lip balm will set, so it's important to work quickly. Pour the mixture into lip balm containers (tubes or cases), and allow the balm to sit for a few minutes until formed. The lip balm will last for the life of the ingredients, generally 6-12 months.
