chocolate lip balm scalp moisturizer

I’ve had chocolate lip balm on my to-do list for awhile now and didn’t waste any time this morning getting to it. I made a couple tiny tweaks using plain sugar instead of confectioner’s sugar (none in the house) and vanilla extract instead of vanilla oil as I don’t have that available today either. I also have an itchy scalp with the big freeze that arrived this week so I’m testing out a scalp moisturizer that you put on before bed and wash out in the morning. I melted together some coconut oil with a little jojoba oil and then stirred in a smidge of peppermint oil. I rub that into my scalp at night and wash it out in the morning.

  1. MMMM Chocolate. I’m loving the peppermint you gave me. I have one at work and one in my coat pocket.

    You can powder your own sugar by putting it in a food processor. If you need the anti-clumping and liquid thickening properties, the ratio is 1 TBSP cornstarch to 1 C sugar.

    Though I propably would not bother adding the cornstarch for only a single tablespoon.

  2. Very cool on the lip balm. How’s the scalp oil?
