Creating A Simple and Yummy Apple Pie Lip Balm

Inspired By A Slice Of Apple Pie

Thanksgiving is in just three weeks and I am so excited. I have dug out recipes for family favorites such as soft, puffy rolls; tart cranberry jelly; sweet potato bake crusted with brown sugar, cinnamon and pecans; and of course the traditional pies such as pumpkin, pecan and apple. I promise that no one leaves my table without having found something that tickles their taste buds and fills their tummy.

Finished Lip Balm

This lip balm is inspired by the requisite apple pie that graces most Thanksgiving tables. I was looking for a flavor that had crisp green apples, sweet caramelized sugar and indulgent cinnamon. This lip balm is perfect! You might swear you had a slice of pie right in front of you!

Recipe:

Adding Flavor Oils

Start with the lip solution base of your choice. I will be using our Soy Lip Solutions base, but there are many to choose from. Select your favorite or make your own. Heat the base gently in the microwave until melted. Once the base has completely melted, add the Green Apple Flavor Oil, Cinnamon Leaf Essential Oil and Caramel Toffee Flavor Oil. Stir well.

Filling Lip Balm Tray

From here, you can either pipette the mixture into your tubes or you can use a filling tray. I will be using a filling tray because they are simple and fast. If you are using a filling tray, insert your tubes into your tray. Flood the tray with your melted lip balm. Allow the mixture to cool. Scrape off the excess. I like to use a plastic putty knife. Remove the tubes from the tray and cap.

Cooled Lip Balm

If you are going to pipette the lip balm into the tubes, fill the tube until you get a dome of liquid material at the top. Wax shrinks when it cools and doing this helps insure that you get a very pretty top. Fill all of your tubes making sure they are domed on the top before they cool. (You may need to reheat your jar of Lip Solutions during this process. This is normal and to be expected.

Finished Lip Balm

Now you can give your lip balm a pretty label or put it into a cute bag. Enjoy this great lip balm or give as gifts! Happy holidays!
