This smells amazing!
Quality Value Depot is definitely an amazing seller! This is my 2nd time purchasing this product. Once from my dad's account and now from my account. This smells amazing and it's cool how it doesn't come in a huge block so it's much more convenient than the 1 lb ones.
If you're looking for natural lip balm, here is a great recipe for a small container:
8 tsp sweet almond oil
2 tsp beeswax
1 tsp honey
The sweet almond oil, as well as the beeswax, will soften your lips and keep them moisturized and the honey will make it smell sweet and will also help preserve the balm. Honey is too thick for bacteria to grow in so it is a great natural preservative.
If you're looking to make lip stick with this, here is another great recipe by percentage of weight (not organic):
Beeswax: 13%
Shea Butter 5%
Castor oil 43%
Jojoba oil 21%
Vitamin E Oil 3%
Fractionated Coconut: 8%
Carnauba Wax: 7%
For the color, add iron oxides for the base color and mica pigments for some glitter and shine. If you want a matte color, using only iron oxides. Add some titanium to lighten the color or black iron oxides to darken the color. Hope I helped. :)
