After making the Rosemary Lip cum face Scrub for my lovely cousins, I was asked to make a batch of lip balm which is highly nourishing and moisturizing to those luscious lips of ours. So I browsed through a lot of recipes of net for various flavors and types. I also went through the ingredient list of a few commercial lip balms like Burts & Bee’s, Forrest Essential etc to see what all they have.
