Love lemon or root beer? I found these two Free Lip Balm Recipes ~ Make your own homemade lip balm on Lyciall.com. There are a couple of comments I would like to make. First of all, the lemon lip balm recipe asks for 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Since I know that lemon essential oil is photosensitive, I would be hestinate to put lemon juice in my recipe. I would would rather find a lemon flavor oil that would be more suitable. The last recipe called Cleopatra Milk Haven Lip Balm Blast has a teaspoon of cream in it. I have never heard of adding any dairy project to a lip balm before. I am wondering if anyone has adding cream to their lip balm recipe before? I would be afraid it would spoil and make the balm go bad. Does anyone have any feedback on this issue?

To make the following homemade lip balm recipes, melt beeswax and oil in microwave or double boiler, add other ingredients and pour into attractive containers. Let sit for 48 hours allowing time to set before use. CAUTION: Your oil and beeswax will get extremely hot. DO NOT BOIL!! If it starts boiling, then cut heat source off and allow it to cool before handling it.
