just experimenting...................

I have such a desire to make homemade beauty products. The Angry chicken has some great recipes. I recently made some more lip balms. They are the most nourishing lip balms my lips have ever had! The problem is that the cocoa butter I ordered has this strange after taste and I find that it taints the balm even though I put in flavoring. Any whoo- Just thought I would share the recipe I have- I ordered some darling little containers but they are not in yet so my packaging of this product is not quite to my liking (a sucker for presentation you know!)

Recipe:

1 tsp shea butter

1 tsp cocoa butter

2 capsules vitamin E (pierce and squeeze)

essential oil (I used peppermint and orange for these)

Melt in a microwave safe dish and let set up in the fridge!

I bought most of my supplies @ a health food store- they will usually order stuff for you if they do not have what you need. I have some more products I have been experimenting with and I will post when they are more perfected!
