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

30gCoconut oil
80gCastor oil
60gJojoba oil
20gBeeswax
30gWheat germ oil
40gVegetable glycerine
1tsPure 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).
