George Fielding wanted my recipes for lip balms, etc. The best source is Connie Kreshmel's (spelling?) book, probably available from Root. For lip balm, I melt a small amount of my finest wax, add some vit. E oil and some essential oils for fragrance and some Vaseline until I get just the right consistency and aroma that I like. I let the first try harden, test it on fingers and lips and add more of whatever seems missing until it is O.K. I do this all in a paper cup in the microwave. When it is just right, I melt it again and pour it into little flat pill cases (available from the Container Store, Rockville Pike, Rockville, MD). As for handcream, it's been a long time since I made some and I have forgotten the recipe something about lanolin, glycerin, wax, aromatic oils, Vit. E (cuz I just like that vitamin for topical use) and vaseline. Perhaps someone else has a recipe on hand. The "whatevers" are such things as wax poured into ice cube trays or pretty hexagonal molds with bee design and sold in gift shops with an explanatory note affixed (try sewing shops too, wax drawn over thread helps with threading a needle). For more ideas on markets, check my recent article "A Tisket and Tasket" in ABJ or "gotta Geta Gimmick" in "Bee Culture". Good luck and I hope others add their special recipes to the Bee Line.
