Gingerbread Lip Balm
I will happily confess that I have a bit of a thing for gingerbread. It’s delicious, and it smells fantastic. It is also a beautiful, deep colour that seems to be to hearken to days gone by, where rye bread, dark liquor, and unrefined foods abounded. A bit overly romantic, I’m sure, but it’s a nice wintery image all the same.
gingerbread lip balm
3g beeswax
3g virgin coconut oil
4g raw cocoa butter
5g sweet almond oil
5 drops vitamin E oil
1g vegetable glycerin
3g blackstrap molasses
3 drops liquid carmine dye (optional—you can also use a pinch of red iron oxide, but it will be more of a ruddy brown than red)
3 drops cinnamon essential oil
2 drops ginger essential oil
3 drops vanilla essential oil
Combine all the oils and waxes together in a small saucepan and melt over low heat.
