I just got my first shipment in from Mountain Rose Herbs (My Brambleberry will be here in tow days!) I got mango butter, kokum butter, and lip balm containers!!1 I am sooooo excited! I will probably get started on this tomorrow!

This will be my first time attempting lip balm (and using lip safe EOs in the mix) any words of encouragement? Suggestions? Warnings? Rants? :lol:

preferably something with beeswax and apricot kernel oil bc that's what I have on hand :D. I have some recipes in my sketchbook, but my research in this field has been heavy on EOs and carrier oils - I've just started learning about butters & their properties. I have three or four lip balm recipes and I have been searching this site to get some more.

What's the smallest batch you can make for lip balm?

If you have an accurate scale that measures in grams, 30-40 grams should work for you.

:oops: sooo embarrassing...I don't have a scale yet! :oops:

well, I have an old mail scale that measures in ounces, but not grams (yikes!) I may have to get one of those like, yesterday.... :/

Congrats! I still luv getting boxes after all these years! Since you are already doing what I usually offer as my first/best advice which is to study, and a big WTG :!: for that, my next best advice/tip is to measure and keep good notes. Don't do what I did when I first began. I would get so involved and excited by what I was doing, that I would add drops of this and shakes of that, then when it was all said and done, and I loved it, I would realize that somewhere along the way I had stopped measuring and writing. Then I had to start all over again! :lol: :oops: :lol: It happened a few times I am sad to say.

Have Fun!

thanks ladies!

A - I did pick up a scale. Nothing fancy, but I can measure in grams and ounces fairly accurately.

B- I am starting out with pregiven recipes. But, I have plans on making soap for some friends and I will create their aromas myself - and I will be extra sure to make good notes (I guess high school chemistry DOES come in handy!)
