MaggieMay Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Christine you can work with the oils that you have..If your lip balm is too hard decrease the beeswax for a start.You will not find a lip balm recipe that will only use the oils that you have access too. I would use cocoa butter, and jojoba oil and the beeswax..Its all a matter of trying to work out your recipe..thats the fun part, making it your own version of lipbalm..Hugs Maggie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
green-tangerine Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 do you have access to shea butter at all? It is a softer butter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
