Hi there I was wondering if anyone had any advice for foraging all the ingredients for lip balm. I have been researching recipes but many suggest butters, waxes and oils for the base that would need to be bought.

I would love to create a balm made entirely of uk natives (or plants abundant in the uk) and that doesn't require me to buy in a base. I was thinking cold pressing hazenut/rapeseed but would probably need huge amounts and need a machine...

Is a wild uk foraged lip balm a pipe dream? 💋
