Argan Oil Lip Balm

I just tried this recipe for argon oil lip balm and it's fabulous.  I added about 1/2 tsp of peppermint oil - perhaps I have no feeling in my lips, but I can never feel the tingle with a few drops!  I also added one capsule of vitamin E because I had some.  I used shea butter and jojoba oil as my other oils.

You can get just about all of these ingredients for free (or for about $1) if you go to review sites like https://www.amzreviewtrader.com/ or https://elitedealclub.com/ - all you have to do in exchange is leave a quick review on Amazon.  Definitely worth it!

Argan Oil Lip Balm
Argan Oil – 2 tsp
Carrier Oil – 4 tsp (Jojoba, Coconut, Avocado, Sweet Almond, Olive, etc.)
Beeswax – 2 Tbsp.

Shea Butter / Cocoa Butter – 2 Tbsp.
Essential Oil – a few drops (Peppermint, Orange, Lemon, etc.)

Method

Take a double boiler if you have one, or take a thick glass vessel and place in a sauce pan. Now, add in the butter and bees wax and heat them at minimal temperature.
Once melted, add the Argan Oil, Carrier Oil and Essential Oil. You can add this after switching off the flame, or just before you do that.
Remove from heat, transfer to lip balm containers (You can pour with a funnel or use a little pipette) and let it set.
You should be able to fill 8 – 12 lip balm containers. Once dry, you are all set to use it.
