We ran out of lip balm so we made some yesterday.
Actually, we lost the lip balm. I don't know where it is and neither do they, so that's why we made more. I had the ingredients handy from the deodorant. Which, by the way, is still working great. It seems to work best on a slightly damp armpit, to minimize the drag, and it still doesn't stop the sweating (I wear too much black to notice) but smell-wise, it's still a winner.
edit—I got all my supplies, including the sweet little tin, at mountain rose herbs. Just type in tins in the search area. They have a ton of packaging items.
This batch is a teaspoon of cocoa butter, a teaspoon of shea butter, a teaspoon of almond oil, a little vitamin E oil and about 15 drops of sweet orange essential oil. I melted it all and poured it in the tin. I had to put it in the fridge to get it to set up, but the next morning it was perfect and has been out all day and isn't too soft. In the past, I made this with just beeswax and almond oil, with no butters at all, but I like this batch much better.
Unrelated, I got the new j.crew and am totally going to add lace, a ruffle, or some sort of trim to a sweater to copy this way cute number they have. I'm not sure I will add anything at the bottom, though. And will it just scratch my neck? The baby won't like it and she will make it all foody. Oh, the issues.
