I ran out of my homemade body butter so this weekend I went to mixing. Instead of doing the usual body butter mix, I whipped up a simple body oil (recipe coming soon) and lip balm. (By the way, my body butters/oils are more like ankle-knee-elbow butters/oils; I use Kiss My Face Lavender Shea Lotion on the rest of my body.)
For the lip balm recipe, I used:
� 2 parts shea butter
� 1 part grapeseed oil
� 1 part (or less) honey
� (a few drops for color) burgundy lip gloss
The instructions: Soften the shea butter by melting it only slightly in a pot on the stove. (If your shea butter is already soft, there is no need to melt it.) Mix in the grapeseed oil then follow with the honey. Lastly add a few drops of lip gloss (or lipstick) for color. (This prior step is optional.) Allow the mix to set, and that's it! You have your lip balm.
