Yield: 4 ounces Author: Katie Wells
Equipment
Small tins (or lip balm tubes)
Double boiler OR glass bowl and pot
Materials
½ cup olive oil (or sweet almond oil)
½ tsp echinacea
½ tsp comfrey leaf
1 tsp plantain leaf (herb-not the fruit!)
1 tsp calendula flowers
½ tsp yarrow flowers
½ tsp rosemary leaf
¼ cup beeswax pastilles
10 drops vitamin E oil (optional)
5-10 drops essential oil (optional)
Instructions
Infuse the herbs into the liquid oil. See above for more details.
Heat 1/4 cup of the infused oil in a double boiler with the beeswax until melted and mixed. Save the extra oil for use on wounds/cuts or another batch of lip salve.
Remove from heat and stir in the essential oil and vitamin E oil (if using).
Pour into small tins, glass jars, or lip balm tubes and use on dry or chapped lips.
Notes
Store in a cool, dry place and use clean hands to apply.
This will last for about 6 months if stored properly (a little longer if you use the vitamin E oil).
