The syringes are called "catheter tipped syringes" in case anyone is having a hard time finding them. We use them all of the time in patient care, so many uses, great little tools. You could probably use luer lock syringes too and not have any problem with the tip clogging once the balm cools down.

[@AllisonNicoleOrganics-ip4db]

Oh Ellen! I was so nervous to make this because it’s my first time but l watched your video step by step. This may sound strange but l felt like you were holding my hand as l was doing this. AGAIN, l so APPRECIATE all your videos. I know from my own experience it takes a lot of time especially for those of us who are tech challenged. Sending lots of virtual hugs from my family to yours. We can’t wait till use these balms! ❤💕 THANKS AGAIN! 🙏

[@Daves-Not-Here-81]

I like that you mention sanitizing your work area and utensils. The other KZbin how-to videos say nothing about doing this for making lip balm and to me that is a very important step for making something to be used on the lips.

[@Glamamortherapy]

I found this video on how to make some really nice lip balm labels using canva. I was really impressed with the labels I was able to create.

Can you make more of your shower steamers? I am running low on them. My 5-year-old doesn't feel good. All stuffed up and double ear infection. Your shower steamers are wonderful and help unplug his nose. I let him take a bath last night and put in your calamine bath bomb to make him feel a little better. He is sitting on my lap right now watching. He said Ms. Ellen makes me feel better.

[@EllenRuthSoap]

How precious! Tell him it's on my to do list for this week, they should be in the shop soon💕

I just made your other lip butter this afternoon - being in the depths of winter in England I decided to switch out 1% of the butters for castor oil... feels great so far. I do like the look of this recipe though so I think I might have to try it tomorrow. Thank you Ruth

[@EllenRuthSoap]

That's good to hear about the castor oil, I've been curious how it feels in a lip balm...

[@anastasiabarbadonis498]

Hi Paula how many grams of castor oil did you put and grams of the butters to change the recipe. Thanks!

[@papiapaulsoap]

@@anastasiabarbadonis498 Castor becomes a bit tacky after a few months :( I tried both with and without but Ellen's original recipe stood better in time than the one using Castor oil.

[@morpro4u]

@@EllenRuthSoap ellen I sent you an email just a bit ago ...but as for using the syringe method I had a thought/idea pop into my head for keeping the product from solidifying while in the syringe....get a clean wash rag wet it ring it out set it in a microwavable bowl before you put it in to microwave and warm it for a minute or two let it cool for a minute take it out with a set of tongs lay it inside a ziploc bag as flat as possible close the bag up let air out and wrap the bag around the syringe tube and that should keep the product from hardening or fill a pot with water bring it to a boil grab the cloth with tongs make sure you are wearing a pair of the rubber cleaning gloves with either method but with the stove top method you'll want to have those rubber gloves handy after you pull the cloth out with the tongs,then ring the rag out and lay it flat inside the ziploc bag and wrap it around the tube and fill away!

[@sheilaanderson912]

Ellen, I may have some amazing information to share with you! I first saw you lip balm making video a few months ago. I had suggested using a ketchup or mustard bottle for filling the tubes. The method you used today was great but I ran across something that may be life changing! Have you heard of lip balm flood trays? The one you are using would work but it would require you filling all of the holes in your silicone mold. If you have not heard of this search KZbin for it. It could make the world of difference. When you are making small batches I think your way is good but if you are going to do a whole tray I think the flood tray is the way to go. Always enjoy your videos!

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Yes, I've seen the flood trays and they're so cool! If I ever make a large batch, that's the way to go❣️

[@sulbhaghatge2793]

I bought quite a few and really hate they didn’t work well but back to you, you are by far the best soaper on utube and I for one am so appreciative that you share so many recipes and clear instructions with us. Not many do that so I appreciate you!! As you say “ Be Blessed”Ellen!! ❤️

[@Zone8-jk]

ELLEN_____________ They way I prolong beeswax from hardening in a syringe is to keep the syringe in hot water until you're ready to use it(be sure to boil water for sanitization, of course). I find the hot plastic keeps the beeswax behaving a bit longer. Anything to get it to behave. LOL. Oh....I just give mine a tap on a paper towel then, load it up and go. Hope this helps.

[@EllenRuthSoap]

That's a fantastic pro tip! Thank you for sharing🤎

[@amyahdocq8835]

@ 9:06 I like your other recipe too but can we put a bit of oil in it? Would it make it a bit more slick? Now, as I am new to your channel, do you have an idea (or a video) on how to ad a tad of colour in the lip balm? What would you use?

[@EllenRuthSoap]

yes, a bit more liquid oil will make it slicker. I don't color my balms, so I can't give an exact amount on colorants.

[@amyahdocq8835]

Ellen, do you find it difficult to get the LB tubes into the tray holes? I am having to work pretty hard to get them in due to the silicone. Just wondering if there is a better way.

[@EllenRuthSoap]

It's a pesky, time consuming business🤣 I haven't found a faster way yet..

[@paulalynrider4009]

The syringe idea is a balmy brilliant one! I've only done lip balms once, and pretty sure I could've gotten 2-3 more tubes filled from my spills! I need to order some more lip balm supplies...including these syringes!

It really did make the whole process easier and less messy😉

⭐⭐⭐⭐💯🥇 perfect 👍👍

[@Shambolic2000]

Very helpful video, thanks for taking the time to make this. I was looking for a solution to the sinkhole problem when the liquid solidifies, that's been bugging me forever. What I had been doing was filling them up almost to the top, letting them solidify a bit(before they totally solidify) and then topping up the end bit but it's such a hassle and most of the time I end up getting those sinkholes anyway. I'm going to try a hairdryer, and if that doesn't work well I'll try your heatgun method. I also like the syringe method for filling them up, that looks good too!

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Welcome❣️ so glad you found me! I think this recipe would be great in a tub or tin.

[@amymason8599]

I love using a syringe too but mine is much smaller which helps with the wax not cooling too quickly as I only do small batches. 😊😊

[@user-rh3fn9vz2j]

Use a piping bag. The heat from your hands will keep it from solidifying too fast. Learnt that in a baking class.. Hope that helps y’all ❤

First, I’d like to thank you for sharing your expertise in such a detailed and beautiful manner. I just had a quick question if I’m using aluminum tins for the lip balms, should a preservative be added since most likely will have to use finger to apply? Thank you so much.

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Because there is no "liquid" portion, you don't need to add a preservative. Hopefully folks will have clean fingers when using😉

[@Prettychimzi]

Please at what temperature do I need to pour it and also do I need to refrigerate it

[@EllenRuthSoap]

You don't need to refrigerate, room temp cool down is fine. And I like to pour while it's still very warm, so it doesn't start to harden up in the pot.

Thanks Ellen, I really like lip balms/butters. That's all I put on my lips all year round. I tried your last recipe and it turned out gritty. Do you know why it would of done that? I do use a double boiler method as I do not own a microwave. I still am using the gritty ones as I do not like wasting the ingredients. I will try this recipe and see how it turns out.

[@EllenRuthSoap]

I think the Shea butter is probably the culprit, it can get gritty if it's overheated. Try a very slow and low melt, that should help.

[@cliviascreations]

Leave the Shea butter out and use the heat from other butters to melt it, Shea doesn’t like heat too much

Hi Ellen, I made this recipe and I love the way it glides on! I am running into a small problem though. After about 10-15 uses, the lip balm starts to get clumpy or chunky.
