lol, we have found this to be true, too. And since I have problems w/yeast I figure it's doing double-duty. Dh will come on to  me by asking if I'd like him to apply my yeast medication, lol. Sorry, TMI.

I just found this recipe on Mountain Rose Herbs last week and the kids and I are going to give it a try tomorrow.

Thanks Jessica! I read a lip balm-making article awhile ago and went to buy beeswax from MRH and they were out. You just reminded me to get back to that project!

Hey, do you ladies know what the difference is between cold pressed and expeller pressed?  All the info I'm finding is related to cooking with it.  What about the other uses we've talked about here?  Is one better than the other?
