Orange Butter Lip Balm
This...
Last October, I ran a 10-day Soft Skin Challenge, and I was asked for a different recipe without Lanolin. After making my test batches, losing and finding the recipe not twice, but three times, I finally got a chance to get into the blog kitchen to make this exciting recipe with you.
I picked a few ingredients that are noted for aiding skin rejuvenation and repair. This luxurious butter will feel great on your dry, scaly skin without feeling extremely greasy. I quickly used my tester tin, and I was very pleased with my smooth skin.
Application Notes: This is not going to be a creamy and easy-to-apply lotion or cream. This is a solid, stick-like butter that will need a combination of body heat and friction to be applied.
Ready for the recipe? I’m excited to share it with you!

Weigh all ingredients except the High Lycopene Oil and Green Tea Extract into the microwave safe container. Microwave using short bursts of time. Stir after each burst to help melt the Beeswax without making the temperatures too hot.
It took my batch about 3 minutes in the microwave with stirring every 45 seconds or so. Add the High Lycopene Oil and Green Tea Extract and stir until completely mixed. Pour your mixture into tins or jars and allow to cool. Cap, label and enjoy!
I would recommend that you put this butter into a jar or tins. It will be next to impossible to get out of bottles!
I hope you enjoy this recipe and let me know what you think!
