Herbal Lesson 19

Making Lip Balm
Daniel Blankley - Tuesday, December 26, 2017

THIS PAGE IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION

Making Salves and Making Lip Balm are both continuations that use the results of your lesson 11 Herbal Infused Oils. In Lesson 11 you made Comfrey in Extra Virgin Olive Oil, and you made Calendula in Sweet Almond Oil. You have already taken your Herbal Oil with Comfrey and made a Salve in Lesson 12, and in this lesson we will continue farther.

You will now use the second one you made (Calendula in Sweet Almond Oil) to make Lip Balm. I waited because this lesson and Making Capsules require purchasing the lip balm container (like ChapStick) from Mountain Rose Herbs or elsewhere on-line. These dispensors are also available in various quantities on eBay. Some people simply pour the balm into small pocket size tins, and even commercial ones are available that come in the small tins. The thing that makes this lesson special is that it teaches you how to fill those nifty ‘chap-stick’ type containers. This is great if you want to start selling your own lip balms.

The video is self explanatory so lets get right to it!
