While you can’t purchase Andrea’s luscious lip balm at Aromatics International or on any store shelf, you can make it yourself. Her recipe calls for Orange essential oil, which mixes nicely with the nutty/appetizing aroma of Shea Butter. The overall scent is tasty but not overpowering or sweet. (In other words, you won’t be compelled it lick it right off.) Ingredients:
10 drops orange essential oils |
1/2 ounce beeswax |
1 ounce certified organic jojoba oil |
1 ounce organic shea butter |
Directions:
1. Melt 1/2 oz. Beeswax and 1 oz. Jojoba in a double boiler.
2. When melted take off the stove, add the Shea butter and the Orange essential oil.
3. Stir until melted and pour immediately into lip balm tins or lip balm tubes.
4. For a double boiler, try a Pyrex measuring cup rested in a soup pot filled half way with water.
