DIY Calendula Lip Balm

Since we talk a lot about the chemistry of our food, let's take some time to focus on other products many of us typically use every day. Today I'm sharing a DIY calendula-infused lip balm that saves my lips every winter. I source all of my herbs and supplies from Mountain Rose Herbs and Starwest Botanicals, both great companies that offer quality herbal products (not sponsored by either....but wouldn't mind!). Recipe starts at 01:00

DIY Calendula Lip Balm
1.5 tbsp coconut oil
1 tbsp candelilla wax
.5 tbsp shea butter
.5 tbsp cocoa butter
.5 tbsp calendula-infused oil
4-5 drops vitamin E oil

In a double boiler, melt candelilla wax and coconut oil. Add shea butter and cocoa butter and stir until completely melted. Mix in the calendula oil, turn off the heat and stir in the vitamin E oil. Quickly pour the mixture into lip balm container(s) and allow it to cool/harden completely before using.
