So, I'd like to try making some lip balm from scratch! But while I was pondering over all those fun little containers, I wondered what I would do if I poured out x number of sticks (I'm interested in harder lip balm) and they turned out too soft or something. Am I just looking at a loss of that amount of material and packaging? Would they be salvageable? Or should I pour my first attempts into something else (and what)?

Basically, how do you go about testing a lip balm recipe? ;D

Honestly, I just tested on a paper plate when I was starting out. Drip, drip, let it set, then try it on your lips. Worked like a charm. :)

I've been using a silicone cupcake mold to do my lip balm recipe testing...like making a lotion bar. Then I can reheat the bar down to adjust my recipe...and THEN pour into tubes! :)

I do something similar to Rachel, except I use wax paper. You can also test the balm right away on a spoon that you put in the fridge so it's cold first. This hardens up the balm faster and gives you an idea on how the balm behaves and feels.

Thanks, all! :) Hopefully I can get to whipping up an unflavored batch this weekend just to play with a basic recipe :mrgreen:

Small batches and keep good notes. :)
