Candelilla wax is another option. Just google "lip balm recipes and vegetable wax." You will be amazed what you come up with if you google.
Carnuba wax is made from palm
:shock:
I use candelilla wax in my vegan lip balms. 2/3 of the amount of bees wax in the recipe since candelilla is much harder. This works really well and they test great.
I have never heard of olive or coconut wax. Does the coconut wax smell coconutty? Where do you get these?
I used candelilla wax too. I did mix it with beeswax but i see no reason why you couldn't use it as the only wax. What I have is bright yellow though but it might fade to a lighter color after melting and cooling. Maybe I'll try that tonight..I use candelilla wax in my vegan lip balms. 2/3 of the amount of bees wax in the recipe since candelilla is much harder. This works really well and they test great.
