1/2 cup grapeseed oil

2 tablespoons  grated beeswax

1 teaspoon shea butter

14 drops flavor oils

4 drops vitamin E

The honey, beeswax and shea are all natural softners and healers.

Please note this makes quite a lot of lipbalm so you can take a dozen or so small containers or 4-5 larger containers. They make superb gifts

Directions:

Once you have mixed it well poor quickly into the containers. Allow to cool, it will thicken as it cools.
