- 1/4 cup rose petals (fresh or dried)
- 1 teaspoon sweet almond oil

Making the lip balm:
- Scoop out a spoonful of petroleum jelly and place it in a microwave bowl. You can add sunscreen for the SPF factor.
- Microwave the mixture at 30 second intervals until it is completely melted.

- With a sharp knife cut off the tip of the lipstick and add it to the bowl.
- Using a fork stir things up until it forms a smooth paste.
- Add some more water if it is too thick.
- Microwave the mix for 30 seconds or more and pour it into a container.
