How To: Make honey vanilla lip balm at home

Natasha Levitan demonstrates making a honey vanilla lip balm. Ingredients needed are two tablespoons of petroleum jelly, one eighth of a teaspoon of vitamin E oil, one tablespoon of beeswax granules, one teaspoon of vanilla extract, one teaspoon of honey and a lip balm container, tub style, in which to store the balm after it is made. She starts by putting the beeswax and petroleum jelly into a glass bowl and microwaving it for five minutes, mixing after two and a half minutes. When the mixture has cooled for several minutes, add remaining ingredients and mix thoroughly. Once all ingredients are mixed, store balm in container and use within four to six weeks. Natasha suggests that making homemade lip balms can be cheaper, tastier and more moisturizing for the lips.
