Title: Native Blend Lip Balm
Categories: Cosmetic *
Yield: 1 Batch

30	g	Coconut oil
80	g	Castor oil
60	g	Jojoba oil
20	g	Beeswax
30	g	Wheat germ oil
40	g	Vegetable glycerine
1	ts	Pure essential oil*

*Only use the most mild, food-grade essential oils for scent (no fragrance oils and no irritating essential oils).

In a small heavy-duty saucepan over low heat, combine all of the ingredients except for the pure essential oil and heat just until the beeswax melts. Remove from heat and add the pure essential oil. Pour into lip balm jars, restirring the mixture after pouring a few jars to be sure that the essential oil and the vegetable glycerin are in solution (these two ingredients are water-soluble and do not perfectly blend with the oils).
