Lip Balm?
- Thread starter Jenn
- Start date
On the NORML stash blog, there is a salve recipe by Jeana Goodwin.
When reposted on another blog, the editor added the following -
"For lip balm, take a few teaspoons of the canna-coconut oil while it’s still hot and mix with about 1/4th to 1/5th the amount of melted beeswax, adding the oil from 1 vitamin e tablet."
Another blog did the same, but changed the mix to 1/3rd.
The original salve recipe calls for 1 ounce of melted beeswax. Let's just go with the 1/4th suggestion, being between the extremes of the 3 possibilities.
So we have -
3 tsp (15ml) of infused coconut oil.
Mixed with...
1.5 tsp (7.5ml) beeswax.
Basically 33% beeswax, 66% coconut oil, plus the Vitamin E oil.
A more general recipe looks like this (from thesage.com) -
20% Beeswax
25% solid at room temperature oil (Coconut Oil, Palm Oil, Shea Butter, Lanolin, etc.)
15% brittle at room temperature oil (Regular Cocoa Butter, Palm Kernel Oil, etc.)
40% liquid oil at room temperature (Sweet Almond Oil, Olive Oil, Avocado Oil, etc.)
Bit more complicated, but this could also be duplicated with infused ingredients.
