The easiest way to make a lip balm with your choice of necessary oils, is plainly to warm your favorite balm (with all those pure natural ingredients) and add a few drops of the therapeutic grade necessary oil. For example, take about a Tablespoonful size of a beeswax type of lip balm, place the box in some warm water until it softens, and then add 2 drops of Melissa, 1 drop Tea Tree and 1 drop of Spearmint necessary oils. Stir well with a toothpick. This method is splendid salve for medical cold sores. It tastes good, too.
Lip balms make great gifts. You can experiment around with different combinations. Check with your aromatherapist for definite necessary oils definite to your special needs.
Vitamine
If you want to make your own, here is a splendid method for cracked, dry or sore lips that I have used with success:
1 tablespoon of beeswax 2 tablespoons of castor oil 1 teaspoon of honey 1 Vitamin E capsule 2 drops of carrot seed necessary oil 2 drops of sandalwood necessary oil 2 drops of myrrh necessary oil
Melt the beeswax in the top pan of a duplicate boiler over low heat. Stir in the castor oil and honey until you have a thick liquid, then take off from heat. Cut the end off the vitamin E capsule, and add the gel from the capsule to the mixture. When cool, add the therapeutic grade necessary oils. Blend well, and then put into small containers for storage. Be sure to make labels that contain the ingredients and directions for use. Directions are to plane a small whole on lips as needed. Precaution: do not use myrrh during pregnancy. (Just leave it out if this is the case).
For lip balm, the proportions you need are 2:1 solids to liquids. The beeswax is a solid and all of the other ingredients are liquid. I like to use castor oil because if gives a nice gloss to the lips. Honey adds a bit of sweetener, and the vitamin E contains antioxidants and will extend the shelf life of your balm. The necessary oils listed are all known for medical properties. In particular, myrrh is renown for mouth care.
