This Goats milk recipe, shows you how to make your own goats milk lip balm with simple ingredients including powdered goats milk. You can also substitute the goats milk for other powdered milk if you like. The Goats milk will leave your lips soft and smooth.
Start by using a double boiler to melt down the shea butter and bees wax. Once melted stir in remaining oils and then the goats milk powder. Whisk well to break down the any lumps. Once cooled pour into a small container and enjoy !!
Insure all containers are sterile by boiling them to prevent contamination of your lip loss. If you wish to dye this balm you can use a cosmetic coloring available from home made body product supply stores. You can also use a small amount of store bought lipstick to tint the balm. Alternatively you can also use colored beeswax or candle dye as it is being used in such a small quantity it will not stain or harm your skin.
This recipe will yield around 20 small lip balm pots.

I am sure that I did something wrong, but I couldn't get the milk to break down completely, no matter how much I whipped it. It also separated very easily until it was almost set. Like the way it works, but mine is slightly "gritty" until it has been on a few mins.
I would like to know how long this recipe will last, because I am using real goats milk not the powdered kind. Would it help to use a perservitive and what kind could I use?
Where do you find shea butter?
