...was messy, to say the least, and not sure how successful yet (I will start giving them out tomorrow to be tested).

I got beeswax mixture everywhere, including on top of my notebook, on myself, and on my tabletop. I made soap as well, and forgot that I'd JUST poured some M&P quick setting soap and picked up my mold - proceeding to spill THAT as well.

I made way too much of the lip balm mixture and I don't have a small pourer and me pouring the warm balm into teenie tiny lip balm stick holders is a terrible idea. Worst idea ever.

So I learned a lot. And I can't wait to get feedback. And I smell like an EO garden. :lol:

Oh well. A lesson learned. :D Next time put your notebook inside a ziploc bag. That way if you spill anything on it, it won't ruin your notes.

You can get lip balm tube fill trays, MMS has them and so do several others, not sure if BB has them or not but they're great. Or for just a couple tubes snip off the end of a plastic 3ml dropper and use that. G'luck!

SKS Bottle & Packaging is a great site for many packaging needs. They also sell lip balm pour tray kits.

I hate the balm. Way too waxy and the EO doesn't even come out. Here was the recipe:

1 part beeswax : 2 part Butter : 1 part Carrier oil : 2gtts EOs

1 part = 1ounce. I hate it!!! anyone have a better balanced recipe? I want it creamy and long lasting, but not waxy....

I used mango & kokum butter, coconut oil & apricot kernel oil...

Try it without the beeswax, but you might need to play around with it to get the consistency that you like. Wait a couple of days before you judge any changes in your recipe.

SKS is great for the balm trays because you can buy the set where you get a scrapper and a bag of tubes along with it for about a buck or so more than just the tray costs at other places. I guess I should say that you used to be able to do this and I assume they still do. It's worth checking anyway. I got one from there several years ago and am still using it, so it lasts. Actually I get a lot of my packaging from there and really like them.
