For the last two years, I've been saving the wax from our honey extractions. I store it in a tupperware in the freezer. A while back we processed what we had; melting and filtering repeatedly until we had an 8oz block of pure beeswax. Here it is with one last filter to go ...
So today we made lip balm.
~2 oz Coconut oil (really it's 5/3oz)
1 oz Shaved beeswax
Heat in a jar in a water bath.
Add
1oz Honey
1/4 tsp Vitamin E oil
~1/8 tsp Peppermint extract
Mix thoroughly and distribute to 0.3oz sliding lid metal tins with a 3ml plastic disposable pipette.
Notes for next time
No honey, it was really hard to mix in and didn't add much flavor.
More Peppermint, it only added a subtle tingle.
