I am trying to come up with a lip balm recipe and here is what I was thinking:
1 part beeswax
2 parts Coconut Oil
1 part Avocado oil

What do you all think?

I'm trying to compare it to the formula I've usually gone by (from MMS) and to me it seems like you need a butter or something in there or maybe switch the coconut and avocado. Otherwise I'd think it would be really soft :?:

-40% liquid at room temperature (sweet almond,apricot kernel, avocado, grapeseed, hemp seed, macadamia, olive,sunflower, etc.)

-25% solid at room temperature (coconut,lanolin, palm, mango butter, shea butter, etc.)

-20% Beeswax (white or yellow, pellets or solid blocks)

-15% brittle at room temperature (cocoa butter, palm kernel, etc.)

But maybe it's working out ratio wise. I've got a really nasty cold and am hopped up on cold medicine, so I probably shouldn't be typing while under the influence

Try a small batch. You might have enough beeswax in it, so it might work out.

I would suggest adding a little lanolin if you are concerned that the oils might make your balm too soft. It will firm it up a bit without being as solid as beeswax.
