FAQs about Lavender Lip Balm

Q: What can I use instead of Lavender oil?

Q: I don’t have beeswax, what do I use?

A: Relax! You can go ahead and make your homemade lip balm without having to use beeswax. Beeswax is like a solidifier so you can go ahead to use coconut oil, shea butter or castor oil as a base. You can get your authentic beeswax online.

Q: Can I use a container instead of a tube?
