Beeswax Lip Balm Recipe

I am a total lip balm snob! And while I've tried a whole lot of products, my favorite lip balm is an expensive beeswax lip balm…and this beeswax lip balm recipe is every bit as good as the expensive lip balm I've loved.

Over the last few years, our family has made the switch to using more natural products.  Unfortunately for me, many of the ingredients in my expensive lip balm were not at all natural.  {You don't always get what you pay for.}

Fortunately, I've found that it's easy to make a natural lip balm that works well and costs a fraction of the price of my old lip balm.
