A soothing lip balm for dry, chapped lips, made from just five ingredients.
Soft lips in three steps, and it sets while the kettle boils.
Lips have no oil glands of their own, which is why they dry out faster than the rest of your face. A balm works by sealing moisture in, and beeswax does that job beautifully.
Lavender and chamomile are two of the gentlest oils you can put near your mouth, so this is a good first balm to make.
Melt the beeswax, shea butter and sweet almond oil together in a double boiler.
Take it off the heat and stir in the lavender and chamomile essential oils.
Pour into small tins or tubes and leave to cool completely before capping.
