I have not tried this yet but am going to make it tomorrow. I'll post on how it goes. I have been looking for a natural lip balm recipe using beet juice as a colorant rather than artificial ones and found this one in a book i own. The amounts were wrongly written so i have altered them how i think they should be (sorry if its wrong!)

  • 1/8 cup grated beeswax
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1/2-1 teaspoon essential oil
  • 3 drops beet juice, for color

Directions

  1. 1
    melt wax and oil in double boiler.
  2. 2
    Beat very well( electric mixer) until creamy.
  3. 3
    add honey, oil and beet juice.
  4. 4
    beat again
  5. 5
    enjoy.
