very nice bb! love the label! what is the stevia based cocunut oil ?
blueblood:
Thanks! river, it is more of a solid than a liquid but really adds a nice, sweet touch to the balm. Makes them come back for more 8-) ... Anyway, it is very tasty with the "sugared strawberry" flavor oil. Women can't buy enough of it from me....

I've made Peppermint and Mandarin Nutmeg lip balm. Local Health food store are now selling them!
Selling at a friends hair salon.

i found this and wanted to share it but haven't mixed it up and tried it yet, copy cat recipe of a famous lip balm. might have to replace blueblood's suggestion of the stevia based cocunut oil, rather than the regular. btw, crazy's mandarin nutmeg lip balm is awesome!
this recipe is supposed to make 20 + tubes:
Ingredients:
* 20 grams Beeswax (about 3 Tablespoons )
* 20 grams Cocoa Butter or Coconut Oil (about 2 Tablespoons)
* 45 grams Sunflower Oil (1/4 cup)
* 8 drops Vitaman E oil (4 vitamin E oil tablets worth)
* 2 drops Rosemary essential oil
* 12 drops Peppermint essential oil
* Pea-sized drop of Lanolin
Instructions:
1. Measure out all your ingredients except essential oils into a heat friendly cup or pan. You can use a glass dish in the microwave also. I cut open the
little Vitamin E tablets and squeezed the good stuff into the cup.
2. Next, melt all the ingredients, and stir. The beeswax seemed to take the longest to melt, but it was all melted within a couple of minutes.
3. Once it’s all melted add your essential oils and mix it up.
4. Then test it out, to make sure it has the flavor you want by letting a tiny bit cool on your finger. Rub it on your lips and check if its just right. If you
feel it needs more mint or other flavorings, add more!
5. Then use a dropper to add the melted goodness into chapstick tubes. (If it cools too quickly before you’re done filling your tubes, just pop it in the
microwave till it melts again.)
6. Then voila! You are done. Just let them all cool.

I like the sweetness added to the balm. Thanks for the reminder on his mandarin. I am going to try that and a few others this season.
