Simple is often best and with only 3 ingredients, the Bushman's Candle Lip Balm really shines. The Amber scent of the wax blends perfectly with the sweet tones of the unrefined Ontario Beeswax and creates a protective balm with a beautiful natural scent.
Sarcocaulon Mossemedense is a flowering succulent shrub of the Geranium family that thrives in the hot, harsh and dry Namib desert. The soft interior of the plant is preserved and protected by a thick waxy, resinous bark which endures on the parched desert floor for many years after the plant's demise and can be utilized in various skin-care products, especially those that preserve and protect the skin.
Members of the Himba tribe collect the fallen bark and most often processed into a resin extract for the perfume industry. Collecting the fallen bark provides an extra income to members of the tribe.
However, besides the aromatic resinous material, there is a natural wax present in the bark which is discarded as waste after removing the resin portion.
Utilizing this fragrant wax is a simple process and if a market can be created for it, this value-added product could generate extra income for the tribe.
This amber scented wax is perfect for cosmetics, candles moustache waxes and therapeutic skin healing formulas.
Both the wax and the resin extract can be prepared from the same material, doubling its usefulness and value as a sustainably collected harvest.
I have described the formulas and processes for producing both products below.
Bushman's candle resin extract and wax share a beautiful Amber scent that is rich, sweet, warm, woody and tenacious.
It is fairly easy to extract 2 separate products from the raw bark, the alcohol extract for perfume and incense and a wax which can be used in candles and cosmetic/therapeutic preparations.

I've been using this Bushman's lip balm for quite some time now. It goes on very smooth and it keeps my lips from chapping - all year around. I highly recommend it.

I have bought quite a few lip balms in the past years and so far this is the best . It glides smoothly and your lips will remain soft for hours .

This is the best lip balm I have ever come across. My lips stay hydrated for a long time when using this. My favorite time to apply is at bed time. I wake up with hydrated lips instead of dry.

It's so nice to have such a pure lip balm that also lasts through the night. Having only wood heat our home is very dry and moisture for the skin is so needed. This balm is smooth, not sticky at all and has such a soft scent that doesn't compete with anything other products.

I love this lip balm with zero added colours, fragrances or preservatives so much; two of our daughters received one for Christmas from me. They love it too! So healing, the quality is superior as is every product made by Apothecary's Garden!
