Quick recipe to make your own lip balms

You can make your own lip balms quickly and easily with just a few simple ingredients.  Lip balm recipes vary but I've gone with the most basic of recipes which makes a firmer balm.  You could also add essential oils to it as it cools such as ginger to make a muscle rub balm (more about those later).

Ingredients You'll Need

Cosmetic grade beeswax
Shea Butter
Vitamin E oil

I don't use quantities, I just melt a few pellets in a saucepan and then add some more until I have a reasonable amount.  I then add in the Shea butter and stir in until it melts.  Once I've done that, then I add the Vitamin E and stir them in.  That's it.  You just pour it into empty lip balm pots or you can buy empty lip balm pots from eBay which is where I brought all of my ingredients.
