Product Information

For beautifully delicate lips that may be sensitive to essential oils and fragrances , choose our original honey lip balm which is free from both. Our Credentials (Why Buy From Us?) Use leftover beeswax to make this brilliant DIY Beeswax Furniture Polish… just 2 simple all-natural ingredients! Try our luxuriously rich beeswax balms for long-lasting kissably soft, nourished and protected lips, whatever the weather.

Added to our natural, cruelty-free formulation are nourishing cocoa butter, vitamin E oil, and soothing sweet almond oil to help alleviate dry, sore lips. This recipe also uses a kitchen scale for precise measurements of the beeswax, cocoa butter, and sunflower oil. I have this Oxo kitchen scale which was well-worth the investment as I use it all the time for making and feed my sourdough starter 🙂 Where Does Beeswax Come From Anyway? Our most gentle and moisture rich, fragrance free, Baby Bee Soap with honey & goat's milk - great for face and body washing delicate skin. Awarded 'Finalist' in the 'Beauty Shortlist Awards 2018' and shortlisted in the 'Free From Skincare Awards 2018,' our soothing honey lip balms are a bee friendly way to protect, moisturise and nourish your lips using the natural healing power of beeswax and raw honey.In a double boiler (fill a medium sauce pan with water, bring to a boil, and place a large glass bowl on top), add the beeswax and cocoa butter. The steam from the double boiler will melt the wax and cocoa butter. It should take about 10 to 15 minutes. As a beekeeper, we have a lot of wax left over from when we harvest honey from the hives. Bees make the wax to create “cells”, which form that hexagonal honeycomb pattern. The cells can be used to lay eggs, raise brood, and keep honey that the bees store for the winter. The honey is stored in these hexagonal cells, and when the moisture has been cured out from the honey, the bees will cover the cells with a wax seal. This is called capping. It preserves the honey for the winter, and keeps the moisture from ruining their honey stores.

And if you want to gift our whole selection of beautiful Guard Bee Lip Balms why not try out our gift wrapped Guard Bee Gift Set! Follow the instructions on your lip balm kit (if using) to fill the tubes, or fill tubes or tins with a tincture dropper. Allow the beeswax lip balm to dry completely in the tubes before moving. Enjoy! Natural Beeswax: I used beeswax from our beehives, but I’d recommend an organic cosmetic-grade beeswax like this one. Why organic and cosmetic-grade? Because if you have any beeswax leftover from making this lip balm, you can use it for other amazing products as well. I have a fantastic recipe for DIY Beeswax Furniture Polish that will make any wood furniture or surfaces shine like new (AND its one of the most popular recipes on my blog!). If there’s a local beekeeper in your area, I’d recommended starting there for wax, but if you buy online, make sure you get the good stuff!
