Gingerbread Lip Balm

Gingerbread lip balm is a bit different than straight-up normal lip balm as it requires me to incorporate something water soluble (the blackstrap molasses & glycerin) into something that is typically entirely oil based. All this requires is a healthy dose of whisking as the glycerin emulsifies the blackstrap molasses and oils together.13-12-02-pic08
