Challenge-Day 2-Lip Balm

I have two recipes that I'd like to share.  I use them both.  The first is a lip balm recipe.  This isn't lip gloss.  It really makes your lips feel healthy and everytime I use it, it takes away any dryness.


1 T. grated beeswax


1 T. petroleum jelly


1 t. honey


1 T. lanolin


3-4 drops of essential oil (my kids like mint.)


Melt the wax, lanolin and petroleum jelly in a microwave or double boiler.  Add the honey and essential oil.  Stir this until it cools and put into containers. 


Here's the petroleum jelly I use for the above recipe:


1 oz. beeswax


1/2 cup baby or mineral oil


Melt the beeswax in a microwave or a double boiler.  Stir in the mineral oil.  Remove the mixture from the heat and stir until cool.


That's it.
