Lip balm tubes, green goop

[Guest guest]

Lynette, Thank you for your generous donation and all others , too.,.

Got enough now, that I am thinking of making also sticks with my famous

green goop* to heal bug bites, and a zilllion other things.

* Green Goop

some plantain leaves ( fresh)

some comfrey leaves, chopped up, ( fresh)

some dried calendula flowers

stuff into a clean glass jar and fill with olive oil

Heat on the lowest heat possible in a double boiler for several hours (

do not let the water boil down and never get the oil to boil)

Strain through a coffeefilter .

Back into the double boiler and add beeswax, enough for a salve consistency.

When the beeswax is melted add a afew drops of Vit.E, lavender EO and

TTree, stir well. Fill into small containers.

For 'sticks in lip balm tubes, add more beeswax.

Sorry that I have no acurate measurements, maybe someone else can figure

that out

Thanks again.

You might like to consider using soy wax flakes instead of using bees wax. I

find it as good as bees wax for consistancy, melts at a lower temperature and

absorbs better than beeswax for balms etc. Plus you can market it as Vegan for a

larger audience.
