As I have mentioned before, I love hempseed oil for beauty products. I play around with different oils to see which work the best with the recipes. In my experience the lip balms made with hempseed oil are softer than other varieties and also very nourishing and make your lips softer than other varieties.
This variety of lip balm only requires two ingredients. There are additional optional ingredients you can add, and if you prefer you can try other oils in place of the hempseed oil.
If you choose to use honey in your recipe, make sure you stir the combination very well. Honey tends to separate and this can cause a sticky mess.
You will need:
lip balm tubes/containers (8-10)
glass measuring cup
3 Tbsp hempseed oil
2 Tbsp beeswax
Essential oil of choice (optional)
Honey or flavored extract of choice (optional)
Instructions:
Measure the beeswax into the glass container and melt the wax using 30 second increments, stirring in between.
When the wax is melted, add the hempseed oil and stir.
If desired, add 1/2 tsp honey or flavored extract and 10-20 drops of essential oil of choice, then stir to combine.
Pour mixture into upright lip balm tubes and wait for it to cool/solidify before securing the lids.
After trying these lip balms you will probably never buy another chap
stick from the store again! They are super nourishing and last much longer than varieties that you buy in stores, and they lack the harsh chemicals found in the mass manufactured varieties.
