Just Beeswax and Olive Oil?

Saturday April 5, 2008

Marina worked as a product designer in China where she learned many things about honeybees and the holistic uses of honey and bees wax. She now has an entire business dedicated to "Gifts from the Beehive." But then, we know all about how great beeswax candles are...and about using honey in soap. Check out this article about Marina and Marina's blog for more information about bees, honey and Marina's work.

I tried making my own lip balm and I used only bees wax, olive oil, and honey for flavor. It turned out amazing!

The next time I made it, I added a little lip safe mica for color.
