Guest guest Posted January 14, 2000 Report Share Posted January 14, 2000 Fran.. This is my favorite recipe and I have passed it around freely because it is so good. My daughter loves it and her friends are asking me for it too. I put mine in a 2 oz pot. 2 TB of each Emu A & D Ointment Wax granuals Lavender Put all ingredients in micro proof container (like a coffee cup) and melt until wax liquified. stir a bit and put in the pot. Let cool and presto! You wont be disappointed in this recipe! ******* Fran Mcgee wrote: > > From: " Fran Mcgee " <franmcgee@...> > > Hi!

I dont have a good handle yet on which oils are most moisturizing..etc. Im also going to buy a few new oils. Another thing that worries me about oil is taste. Since it is a lip balm I dont want it to taste bad. It is ok to add EO to lip balm just for smell and healing? Obviously it wont improve the taste. >> Carli, I'd put in some castor oil, as it is thought to be very good for lips. You could add lemon, tea tree, peppermint, spearmint, or orange eo, keeping in mind that the citrus have some degree of photosensitivity. I use 10 drops for 5 - 6 T. of balm.

I didn't like it. She didn't mind, however, so you'll only find out by trying it yourself, I guess. You could use stevia or maybe glycerin as part of the oil.

If so, how much? Also, if I am going to sell these, what info does the package need to have? TIA Beth >> Beth, when it comes to lip balms, I wouldn't put any kind of FO in them. Many people have put very small amounts of tea tree, or a fruit EO, but you must be aware of the photosenitisation problems citrus oils can cause. A teenie-tiny touch of peppermint or spearmint EO can be nice, but remember TEENIE amounts. Best bet, if you want a scent to your balms is to use lip balm flavorings. They give more of a scent than a real taste. Patti K DragonSong Dreams Herbal Soaps & Scents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 12, 2000 Report Share Posted June 12, 2000 Hi Beth, I haven't made lip balms in awhile, but when I did I put flavor oils in them with a little honey to sweeten and they tasted yummy!

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2002 Report Share Posted April 22, 2002 Here is the lip gloss recipe that I make all of the time. It is called Citrus Lip Gloss but you can substitute any flavoring oils that you want, you can substitute the chocolate chips for the beeswax. 3 Tablespoons Sweet Almond oil 2 tsp beeswax 1tsp aloe vera gel 1 tsp honey 8 IU Vit E If you are going to make the citrus gloss add 4 drops lemon essential oil and 3 drops of tangering essential oil Melt beeswax (or chocolate chips) together with the oil. When melted add honey and Vit E mixing briskly with a wire whisk. Add aloe vera gel and continue to whisk briskly. When almost cool add the essential oils and continue to whisk. Don't stop the whisking while the mixture is cooling as the ingredients could separate and you would have a lumpy product. Raven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 2, 2002 Report Share Posted December 2, 2002 I buy my lip balm, melt it and put it in containers...(When I started looking at recipes I thought it would be cheaper to just buy it already done, when this is gone I am going to experiment with a new recipe i found thou)...they havent sold very good at shows, but then I really don't " market " them. I have given them in swaps and everyone seems to like them. Maybe if I had a better label and advertised they would sell better. However i only sell mine for $1.00 to $1.25 soooooooo maybe I Have them to cheap...lol. I still like to make them. I usually keep 25 on hand all the time. As a matter of fact I am making some tomorrow. lip balm Good morning~ Does anyone make Lip Balm?? How does it sell?? I also would like to know about body gel and massage oil. Does anyone make this? I would like to get started with these the first of the year. Thanks so much Sahr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 15, 2004 Report Share Posted March 15, 2004 It is my understanding, and I could be wrong, but if you add any ingredient that is a sunscreen. This becomes an over the counter drug in the eyes of the FDA. Of course this is only important if you are going to sell it. Anything that has any healing or protective claims to it, needs to be throughly tested to FDA standards before it can be marketed. Of course if this is for priviate use, never mind!

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2004 Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 Hi~ If you used shea butter in the lip balm, you need to let it melt for about 10 minutes on low heat so it will not get grainy after it sets up. Other than that I'm not sure why it would. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
