Ashleigh Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 I've had this recipe for some time now and finally gave it a go but it is SO DRY! Can't remember where I got it from....This was called something like Extra Moisture Lip Balm .4 oz white beeswax pellets.4 oz apricot oil.4 oz shea butter.4 oz cocoa butter10 drops Vitamin E1 - 2 tsp. flavor oilmica or colorantAny help?I really want a smooth moisturizing lip balm this one is more like forcing it on your lips (oh btw I'm using pots not tubes)TIAAshleigh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edensong Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 I think it's MMS that has the following info that I copied into my notes:40% liquid oil25% solid oil (soft butter)15% brittle oil (hard butter)20% beeswaxIn looking at your main ingredients -- they're all 25%, so make adjustments accordingly..8 oz apricot oil (40%).5 oz shea butter (25%).3 oz cocoa butter (15%).4 oz white beeswax pellets (20%)Just include the Vit E with the 40% and make the Vit E - 1%.
