I have a few other recipes in the blog that use shea butter and beeswax so if you use more shea butter-- it can help keep it softer, but I can't promise it will be the consistency of chapped stick that way.

I think the more you experiment and create, the easier making your own creations will become! <br /><br />Hmm… let's see. A lot of people enjoy peppermint, cinnamon, rose, or tangerine too. You can get creative and combine two together like lime-rose, cinnamon-orange or peppermint-grapefruit or you could even do a blend of two florals or two citrus Sherri Griffinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10481419779173763777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-167086251514186647.post-53748568018587401542014-07-04T13:26:31.631-04:002014-07-04T13:26:31.631-04:00Very easy to make and tasty!

You can definitely melt them down and add some shea butter for some creaminess or more coconut oil! I'd use something with low heat-- like a the base of a coffee pot to melt them down, but that's just me! Hehe.. Just don't use the microwave!
