Are you like me and wanting to make your own body care products and as well, use products that are really GOOD for you?
Awesome!
Then you will love today’s recipe and video instruction for…
Chocolate Orange Lip Balm and Dry Skin Salve!
Ingredients:
1/4 cup melted beeswax
1/4 cup melted cacao butter
1/4 cup coconut oil
1/2 cup sunflower oil
20 drops orange essential oil
Once all ingredients are melted (I use a double boiler method), combine all the ingredients and stir gently until creamy.
Store in containers of choice and keep in a cool dry place.
Yields approximately one cup of lip balm/salve.
To watch step by step instruction, watch the video here:
The benefits of non-toxic, homemade products are huge!
Take care of yourself, have fun, and have extra to give as gifts = win all around!
AND you can use these ingredients minus the beeswax and plus baking soda and peppermint oil to make TOOTHPASTE! Check that out here.
I have been super excited about possibility in general these days, the possibility of making your own products, the possibility of now, and the possibility of reaching for your dreams so I created the Summer 2013 Possibility Tour!
This video is part of the tour and if you like it and want to keep up with the tour and what is next, head on over to my Facebook page and give it a like and be sure to add it to your interested list as well.
Thank you!

So, how long did you stir this mixture before it thickened?
if it wasn’t so hot and humid it would take anywhere between 10-20 minutes depending on how hot it was on your double boiler. since it was so hot the other day, i stuck it in the freezer for just a few minutes to expedite the process.
