I use this on my lips everyday this time of year. I love how smooth and shiny it makes my lips. You can also use it any ware you need a little moisture like heels and elbows. In a pinch you can use it on minor cuts and scraped to prevent scarring. It is mildly antibacterial.
1 T. honey
1 T. almond or jojoba oil
1 1/2 t. beeswax
7 drops vanilla essential oil
*You can substitute any essential oil of your choice. Peppermint works really nice.
In a small sauce pan over low heat warm the oil, honey, and beeswax, until the wax is just melted.
Remove from heat, add the essential oil, and stir to blend. Set the pan in a shallow ice-water bath. Using a whisk, stir rapidly for 30 to 60 seconds until the honey is incorporated and the formula is like thick peanut butter. It should be a pale amber color.
Spoon mixture into a storage container and let set for 2 hours before use.
No refrigeration is required but you will want to use it all up with in a year.
You are going to like this one! (((kiss)))
