Lol...this is what I thought of when I used my lip balm a week after it was made and I actually LIKED it! I still think I was heavy on butters & beeswax, which makes it kinda hard, but it melts well on the lip once your body heat warms it up. So, I'm going to go a bit easier on the beeswax, heavier on the oils next time (I use solid-at-room-temp oils cause I like em for holding things together when it's not pressed up against your lips). Any suggestions?

Annnnnd about the beeswax...so situationally, I am not at liberty to do any soap/lip balm/lotion/etc. in the kitchen which of course includes the stove. I have to melt the beeswax in the microwave but when I did this last time, it didn't fully melt, and now I have these horrid little beeswax pellets that stick in my lip balm..ick. Any effective way of melting beeswax FULLY in the microwave without blowing anything up? Thanks!

~Sooo excited!~

Do you have a crock pot? If you are making small batches, I would get one of those little potpourri pots. They look like mini crock pots. That will help you get everything melted. Or use a chocolate melter.

No water or boiling water needed. Just put all your ingredients into the little crock pot, wait til everything is melted, then either carefully pour into your containers, or use a pipette to fill them. With the chocolate melter, just plug it in, let everything melt, and since the inner metal pot has a lip, you can pour straight into your lip balm containers.[/quote]


SA-WEET!

You're welcome! Be careful. It can get pretty hot.

You know what I do to melt the beeswax completely? I do the short 30 second burst thing on 50% power until everything is liquidy!!
