Basic Lip Balm Recipe

With Wonderful SoyWax™

Copyright Mabel White

The most disappointing thing about making your own lip balm is that it only takes a few minutes to prepare in the microwave!  The nicest thing is that everyone walking around the project wants to grab a pot when you are done.  You can make a ton of pots and tubes with very little supplies!  There is no recipe known to the lip balm world better than ours.  We first pick out nice clear containers so you can see our finished product.  We facilitate 3 parts Sweet Almond Oil to 1 part SoyWax™ and a bit of melted Beeswax.  A few broken vitamin e capsules can also be mixed into the melted oils.  

For flavor and sweetness we use chocolate, honey vanilla or any of the other myriad of flavors we carry.  Sweet Almond Oil as well as beeswax has a natural frosty sheen to it which offers a natural aesthetic appeal.   If we desire to make Lip Balm Sticks, we simply increase the SoyWax™ to one half of the mixture so it will stay firm as a stick.

To make ten .05 ounce containers:  Have your containers open and ready.  This will not take long.  Melt the beeswax in a disposable plastic cup for a minute in the microwave and then add SoyWax™and continue to melt just a tad longer, stirring until clear.  Add the oil and stir, flavoring to taste.  Pour into container and you are done.  They will cool within an hour.  Ingredients can be purchased from the Mabel White Company.

Men prefer the Lip Balm Sticks.  We feel it is a competency thing with the twisting of the tube.  At first we did wonder how you get the formula in  in the tube and many people e-mail us and ask if we know about a machine that does it.  We found there are no machines.  When making a stick, you simply drop the warm oil in the tube with a dropper and it cools that way.  To make the product look more uniform, you can push the product upward after it cools and cut it straight across the top since it does not dry so perfect at the top.  Lotion Bars are also made this way, expect in a larger twist tube.  Mabel now sells a twelve pack starter kit for $19.95 which offers all of the supplies to make your first 6 tubes and your first 6 pots with two different flavor oils.
