Soul Scentsibility Vegan Lip Butters

So what is the difference between Lip Balms and Lip Butters? to be honest I couldn't really tell you from any real scientific measurement (at least not with a straight face). My idea however, is that butters are just as the name implies. Buttery balms that are high in "butter oils" and are softer than regular lip balms. So with really dry skin, I had to try my hand at making these wonderful emollients. Can I just say I love them! We now carry four variety of these wonderful little buttery goodness.
My Favorite use is as an overnight lip conditioner.

Soul Scentsibility Vegan Lip Butters

This is not the recipe I use for my vegan butters,( but pretty darn close) it was taken from http://www.humblebeeandme.com/take-that-burt/?ref=featured , but I think that this is the best recipe to give you an idea and you can modify it for your own personalized lip butter

Ingredients: 

20g (0.7 oz) beeswax, or vegetable based wax like Candelilla
25g (0.88 oz) Shea Butter
15g (0.5 oz) cocoa butter
40g (1.4 oz) coconut fractionated
2g (0.1 oz) vitamin E oil

10 drops of Natural flavor oil. 

I melt waxes and cocoa butter first over a low heat in a double boiler.

Once the wax is completely melted I add the liquid oil and shea butter. 

Once that is melted remove from heat and stir. Once cooled enough to not burn off the fragrance, add vitamin E and flavor oil.

Pour into containers/tubes or small jars.

I found that with the added shea butter, these balms can get grainy.  Should this happen it is easily fixed by running a heat gun or hair drier to melt the top a little. Let set back up before using again.
