I LOVE THIS! Finally, a practical recipe. Here’s a little tip. Put the same amounts of everything, it balances better. You can also add dried up rose powder (organic/homemade) or beetroot powder (organic/homemade). Rose softens the lips and beetroot reddens them. The dried powder, if made right, shouldn’t have any flavor. You should try it 🙂
Those look beautiful ❤️ I just made my lip balms and my recipe is very similar to yours – I think I have the addition of jojoba oil, liquid stevia and stearic acid. Plus for my cocoa balms I added a teensy tiny bit of cocoa powder. I have one with kokum butter instead of cocoa as well as my cocoa butter is very fragrant, the way I like it ☺️
You mentioned that flavored lip balm and my mind went back to those big strawberry sticks. Oh my goodness! I had forgotten about those. Ick.. 😁 Thank you for sharing this recipe! I’m so excited to try it and experiment with it. You’re the greatest! If I don’t get to meet you here on earth, I can’t wait to hug you in Heaven!! 🥰 🙏 😇
You are not joking when you said beeswax is a mess to deal with. My first time making lip balm a year ago looked a little like the I Love Lucy episode where they’re on the chocolate assembly line. I had no idea how quickly it was going to set up. It didn’t pour like I anticipated. I made a massive mess and wiped my gloved hand covered in lip balm all over my face not thinking. It was a nightmare. Now I can make a batch without a mess but boy that first time was a doozy. Glad no one saw me it would have been hilarious! Thank you again Ellen!
This looks like a no fail recipe. I have everything to try it out this afternoon too. Thank you for sharing. On a side note I was born in ’68 and grew up all over the country. Lip Smackers lanyards reigned. As an adult, I moved a mile away from Bonne Belle, they have since sold the Lip Smackers name.
Hi!! Thanks for sharing ❤I have made it and it come out really perfect!!!But i have a question,after 4-5 days i think it has a weird taste:/ what did you think go wrong? Or is supposed to be like that because it’s all natural ingredients? Or maybe my other question is, do we need to put any preservative ? Thank you! I will wait for your answer xxx❤or maybe I put to much flavor? I think i put 1,5gr on this recipe xx
I love this, and you! Thank you for putting yourself out there and showing us how you work and all of your tips of the trade. I enjoy your articles and experiences so much as a newer soaper. I currently make soaps, lotion bars, bath melts, and want to try this lip balm recipe! I’m hoping to sell my products soon, but am still researching the legalities and such that are needed or recommended for such an endeavor. I’m in Indiana so I know states vary in that department, but I am curious on labeling options and why people choose what they do. You’ve not really shown your soap labels other than stamping them that I’ve seen. Would you mind sharing what you do and why? Right now I’m thinking a simple band around the soap for the sake of cost and simplicity, but am also open to other options. I know many shrink wrap, or box, or twine with a tag (which I’m also considering for above mentioned reasons). As of now it’s been a hobby with lots of gifting to family and friends, but I would like to make it more, to at the very least help pay for the hobby, ideally to perhaps be another income I can transition to fully at some point. I also make art so am thinking a business all encompassing of my various crafts.
I love that you are willing to share your recipes and tips and tricks! So many people won’t share anything once they sell, but they forget that they too were once learning and wishing people would share with them. I think it’s extremely helpful for people in the artistic & diy community to share their learned knowledge with others as we have all been beginners looking for advice and then in turn we can hopefully be the experts that get to share that advice. It’s all a circle and it moves better when information is shared. Thanks for sharing!
By far I find your articles so easy to follow. I like how you explain what your doing and why. Finding your website has changed the way I look at people who are just out for themselves, And here you are sharing everything you know… Not everyone is trying to make a living selling DIY products. I am looking for something that will work for me.. I have many allergies and believe me over the counter stuff is my worse nightmare.. May God Bless you always for sharing your recipes with us newbies…
This looks like a great recipe and I am excited to try this. Thanks for making this article. I would humbly suggest that if you plan on giving these to others that you use a clean technique, that is, if you want to use your hands, open up all you ingredient bags first, then put on sterile gloves and just touch the ingredients not the bags with the sterile gloves. You basically nullified all your prior antimicrobial sanitizing by using your bare hands and introduced your skin flora to your balms.
I was born the same year and my favorite lip balm flavor was the huge bubble gum flavor, I did not eat though, lol! To this day, I have to have something on my lips 24-7! Thank you for your articles, I’m a retired healthcare worker and just starting making soap but want to make lip balms for my grand-babies, the hubs and myself. I have learned so much from you, keep up the good work and God bless 🙂
I just tried this recipe. I cut the recipe in half and Ellen I can’t THANKYOU enough! I used crafters choice peppermint flavor oil that I had on hand. I gave up on lip balms a few years ago but decided to try it again thanks to your article. Here in the north east the lips get chapped. Love this stuff!!! Smoothing the tops off- great tip🤩
You can add EcoSoya Q210 Soy Wax (formerly known ac EcoSoya CB135soy Wax) This Wax isn’t sold in Australian anymore and it’s the only soy wax (except to GW464 that has taken its place) that is dermatology tested safe for ALL Skin types and Compatible for various skincare products – you can also make the safest Scented Soy Melts + Soy Candles with EcoSoya Q210 Soy wax. Won’t leave skincare feeling greasy. Iv used this Soy Wax for almost 8yrs and I’m sad to see it go. Iv thankfully got 70kg left before I need to change to GW464
I started making a lip balm last year with lemon-balm infused olive oil, and it is wonderful! I get dried lemon balm from Amazon to infuse in the oil for the lip balm and in distilled water to make a lemon balm soap. If you’re not familiar with lemon balm, it is fantastic in bath & body products! I need to get some of those labels!
I can’t wait to make some lip butter balm for the first time. I am new to this but you have given me the confidence to try! You are so natural on camera and explain yourself very well. Where did you purchase the plastic funnel like pitcher that you ended up using to fill the containers? Thank you for sharing your knowledge! 🙂
Hi Ellen. Thank you so much for sharing this really lovely and lush lip balm recipe! I made up a double batch, varied the recipe a little by reducing the shea butter and adding in a bit more cocoa butter to compensate and only 10 drops of peppermint oil I am very pleased with the final product, it was a lot of fun to make. Thanks again for your friendly and very fun articles, they’re always great, and I look forward to more! Cheers Mike
Your chapstick story is very funny to me, because that was kind of a thing when I was a kid in the 2010s. I’m a guy so was adjacent to the whole thing, but there where these big egg shaped lip balms that everyone loved for a few years, they where a similar kind of status symbol at my school. Cool to see history repeat itself.
I am going to have to try one of those trays! I have a lip balm tray from when I was in business that holds about 20 tubes from the bottom and of course, the trick is to pour them without spilling anything onto the tray. LOL!!! I am pretty good at it, but it can get messy if you spill. the droppers never worked for me either due to the cooling and hardening of my recipe plus it takes way too long. So I just always tried to pour and not spill. Also I found that spritzing a paper towel with a little alcohol and then wiping off the tubes after the caps are on assures that they are squeaky clean and that the labels stick really well.
Hello Ellen Ruth! Do you know the cause for the lip balm having a bit if a bumpy texture? Like when I apply it, the surface is a jumpy sort of texture, almost as if it’s not blended.(Just on the stick. The result on my lips is lovely and smooth). Is it perhaps the hardness of the beeswax compared to the softer ingredients?
I have been collecting lip balms and none so far have been upto the mark they all have this funky smell like some spoiled oil just unbearable cz you lips are right below your nose it’s even worse i am obsessed with any lip balm that has strawberry fragrance but they all smell weird i think i got to stop buying expensive lip balms and keep them laying around never use them but start making on my own some of them even taste so sweet disgusting 🤢 i am having difficulty in choosing the right products for the makinv Amazon has very limited products lets see
Like how you think on your feet! If it doesn’t work one way, you just change up and go a different route! Very good! I initially started perusal because I needed knowledge on what soap I should buy from my local farmers market for my sensitive face. Now I’m thinking perhaps I should just make my own soap! Thank you for sharing so much, and you have excellent positive energy that comes across the article! Very well done!!!!!
Ellen at the start of this wonderful soap word I did not like you. Don’t ask me why because I did not know. But let me tell you something after a while I start perusal you and oh boy!!!! I fell in love with your website! THANKS FOR WHAT YOU ARE DOING!!!! You and your recipes and advice never fell me. Keep going and sorry for our beginner’s time 😂 Happy New Year!!
Thank you Ellen. Very interesting and well done product. Would like to ask you please if the lip balm in our handbag and exposed to sun heat does it melt. If yes shall we add more bees wax. Another question, can we add honey to the recipe. Awaiting ur reply please. Thank you a lot for your vidéo..Iove it
Can you offer this recipe in old school measurements? I don’t have a weight measuring device nor have room in my small countertop to keep one. I don’t even understand or know how to use them. So this recipe is useless to someone like me. I have made DIY skin care products including soap in the past 40 plus years.I got into natural holistic healing when I was 15 around 1970. So I appreciate and love what you are doing.
Hi Ellen ! Thank you for sharing ! Tried a few organic lip balms but My 4 year old seems to have allergic reaction to all.. not sure if he is allergic to beeswax until I try out.. but I wanted to know What is the final outcome of the lip balm? is it smooth and easily glides on or little waxy ? Have you tried any other recipes for lip balm without beeswax ?
I SPEND TOOOO MUCH MONEY on all things lips…I started looking at the ingredients in some and was shocked at what I put on my lips. So, thank you for sharing, I just made my first ALL NATURAL batch and I LOVE IT! It’s not too greasy, it has staying power and my lips already feel the difference (or maybe it’s just me)! You are Gold! Thank you.
Hola bella sra. Ellen es tan interesante y bello lo que hace, me gustaría aprender mucho más, para mi es una pena no entender el Inglés como me gustaría que tuvieras intuiciones en español, yo tengo una discapacidad, pero puedo trabajar en esto, me gustaría poder ayudar a mi familia, me encontré su canal, bueno más bien en mi desesperación Dios la puso en mi camino, espero entienda mi mensaje quiero ayudar a mi familia y sobre todo ahora que a mi marido le dio un derrame cerebral y no podrá trabajar por un buen rato. Dios la bendiga a ud. y a su familia. Espero pronto su respuesta, sus productos son espectaculares, le escribo y veo aqui en E.U. mil gracias de antemano.
Hi Ellen! I just first have to say (and I know you hear this all of the time) I love your articles!! Definitely going to try out this lip balm recipe! ♥ But the most important thing is that you completely FREAK ME OUT with that humungous knife!!! :-O I saw you use it on another article cutting shea butter (in your hand no less LOL!) and I cringed at that but now the coconut oil… for the love of Pete be careful! I personally use a butter knife and it works just as well and may not send me to the emergency room! 😉 =)♥
Ty for the article and the recipe. You are very kind. I’ve read questions asking about bitterness in the flavor oils on the Wholesale Supplies ws. One person said that Brambleberry has a sweetener to add that makes any flavor oil sweet. That’s the only place I’ve seen the sweetener. Have you any experience with this?
Thank you so much for sharing your recipes ! I love perusal your articles! May I ask how you apply the labels to the tubes? It looks like your labels staying on the tubes without peeling off at the edges.I using the same labels from online labels but after a while the labels start to peel off. (I wipe off the tubes with alcohol before I apply the labels.) Would you mind to share your technique? I can’t wait to watch your next article. Happy Valentines Day!
great article. and just thought i will say this. to hold the containers upright for your to pour, just have a wooden block with holes drilled to the exact diameter of the container. its gives u a very solid feel. u just need a power drill, drill bit that matches the container diameter and say a hardwood with (atleast 3/4 height of the the container)like a walnut or even a baltic birch plywood would do. If you r from USA there r enough woodworkers if you dont wanna do this yourself.
Thanks so much for the recipe!! I really enjoy your soap articles, you’re one of my favorites 😊 I was really surprised to see you touch the ingredients with your bare hands….I mean, I’m sure you’re hands are clean, but since you’re making something that goes on people’s lips I just figured you would put on gloves or only touch ingredients with sterile utensils. Just something to think about.
