Beeswax In Candle Making Section Suitable For Lip Balms? | Love-Candles.com
Oct 27 2009
I went around looking for beeswax yesterday (for a lip balm I wanted to make) and could only find some in the candle making section of a craft store. Is this beeswax suitable for making lip balm, or any other body products?

The links below are to sites with recipes for using candle stubs to make lip balm! Yes, as long as it’s plain beeswax with no chemical additives, it’s the same stuff. If you’re concerned and you have a natural or whole-foods store near you, they often carry beeswax. Of course, there are many places on the net to buy it, too.http://www.beeswaxco.com/recipes.htmhttp://www.beeswaxcandleco.com/recipes.p…
I keep a couple of beehives in my backyard, and I use their “homemade” beeswax for lip balm mixing with coconut oil to get the right texture. Beeswax for candles will work great as long as it is clean and pure. If you don’t know the quality or source, you might want to stick with wax that is labeled “organic”.
