today I will show you how you can make a natural lip balm so you can moisturize your lips with natural ingredients
you need Shea butter, cocoa butter, jojoba oil, beeswax, essential oil of chamomile and vitamin E (tocopherol)
then I will show you how you can put it into a recycle container, like this
I will do this using a syringe!
if you don't have all these ingredients you can try to make it without all these
you can leave out cocoa butter and substitute it using all shea butter
jojoba oil can be substitute by almond oil or olive oil
you can substitute chamomile essential oil by another essential oil
vitamin E (tocopherol) is an ingredient you will need for all your preparations
I am not sure if you can get this ingredient to a pharmacy store, I always buy my ingredients on-line
you need a small glass
weight 3 g of shea butter (1 teaspoon)
weight the cocoa butter 1g (a little bit less than ½ teaspoon)
weigt the beeswax 1g (a little bit less than ½ teaspoon) I get it from a beekeeper, its pure beeswax
you can also find clean beeswax, it is in small pieces and white beeswax, but I don'tlike them I prefer pure natural beeswax
so 1 teaspoon shea butter, 1/2 cocoa butter and 1/2 beeswax
add oil, 10 drops of jojoba oil
now you have to melt in a double boiler
when it is melted wait a few minutes to cool down
so you can add vitamin E1 drop and chamomile essential oil 3 drops
vitamin E is a yellow-brown dense liquid
essential oils should not added into hot preparations, too much hot can ruin them
now add chamomile essential oil and vitamin E
mix very well
Put into the containers or jars
you can use any container you have, as these for contact lenses
now I will show you how you can fill up the containers with holes, you just have to use a 5 ml syringe like mold
put it like this and cut the tip of the syringe
use a knife to cut like this
pull down like this and your mold is ready!
fill up the mold
let it cool down for 1-2 hours
now it is ready,
open up the container
put the lip balm in the container like this
push down so it can get in end fit
adjust if you need to upright
as you can see fits very well
it is soft and moisturizing
