lip balm

[saskya]

I am somewhat squee-y today. I mentioned some time ago that i was experimenting in a new little hobby - making my own lip balm. It's going well, albiet slowly. I am still trying to figure out the perfect sweetener, so that they aren't just... pretty smelly waxy stuffs on my lips. So far, the sweetener has been elusive -- but i am very pleased with

*squeeeeee* Is this why you needed to be sure of my address? Heeeee; it's only fair; I gave away MY idea for you. :D I'm so excited!!!! I can't wait!!!!!

Yep, this is why i needed to be sure! I'll drop'em in tomorrow's mail; just a plain envelope. Hopefully it'll make it ok.

Wow! Where'djya find the lip balm tubes??? Cool; really cool. I like your labels, too. Find a recipe that uses goat milk, eh? I'd like to try making goat milk lotion - someday when I have time!

is goat's milk oil-soluable? If it's not, it'll just seperate out from the mixture, which is a bummer. *nods*

However, i KNOW i've seen lotion recipes for it.

Lip balm tubes - packs of 100 online. Easy.

Okay, so I've been doing the same thing for the past few weeks, however I haven't been bothering with wax, and going the cheapy route with petroleum jelly. Are you using oils for the flavorings? I tried my hand at making some with cocoa mix, and it worked for the most part, except for some of the sugar separating out. :(

I've been using the pots, where are you buying the tubes?

I love you label design. I use far too much lip balm.

[saskya]

Yeah, essential oils for the scents/flavors, and beeswax and almond oil for the base.

Cocoa mix sounds interesting, it's too bad anything we use seperates out so easily though. Blah.

Online. I think it's MMS.com?

Thank you. It's still making me grin. And yes - me too!
