hello miz fumbz how the heck are ya??Hello miss Mello How have you been girl? I have made lip balms as well and they are a big hit! And apparently they have a good effect to them, at least that is what my patients tell me. My one girl who celebrates Ramadan (sp?), loves them. She can't eat or smoke during Ramadan, but swears by the lip balm! I have been thinking about expanding on it to make an icy hot type rub.
i haven't made any balm or salves in a while but people are starting to hint about almost being out of lip balm so i need to get back into that. mr kitty took my personal jar of salve over to the production site so i need some of that too. it's just.... i feel like my kitchen needs to be damn-near lab-grade spotless for topicals and it's just not there right now and it's hot and i'm low energy these days.... much as i like to complain about the length of winter / lack of outdoor growing season here, i could never live somewhere where it's actually HOT.
icy hot rub would be cool, what would you use, oil of wintergreen maybe? the last salve i made i maxed out on medicinal EO's and it came out smelling kinda like tiger balm lol... i added ginger and cayenne too so there was plenty of hot but not really any 'icy' (even though there was rosemary and tea tree in it). the marjoram oil seems to really help with the muscle pain but it's neither hot nor icy.
