I LOVE THIS! Finally, a practical recipe. Here's a little tip. Put the same amounts of everything, it balances better. You can also add dried up rose powder (organic/homemade) or beetroot powder (organic/homemade). Rose softens the lips and beetroot reddens them. The dried powder, if made right, shouldn't have any flavor. You should try it :)

[@NimsInfoDiary]

Are those powders oil soluble ?

[@chezsylvie007]

thank you Aarushi for the tips...I am also going to try Pomegranate powder too and blueberry

I love that you are willing to share your recipes and tips and tricks! So many people won’t share anything once they sell, but they forget that they too were once learning and wishing people would share with them. I think it’s extremely helpful for people in the artistic & diy community to share their learned knowledge with others as we have all been beginners looking for advice and then in turn we can hopefully be the experts that get to share that advice. It’s all a circle and it moves better when information is shared. Thanks for sharing!

[@roseannamarotta5864]

By far I find your videos so easy to follow. I like how you explain what your doing and why. Finding your channel has changed the way I look at people who are just out for themselves, And here you are sharing everything you know... Not everyone is trying to make a living selling DIY products. I am looking for something that will work for me.. I have many allergies and believe me over the counter stuff is my worse nightmare.. May God Bless you always for sharing your recipes with us newbies...

[@mikachandra7684]

This looks like a great recipe and I am excited to try this. Thanks for making this video. I would humbly suggest that if you plan on giving these to others that you use a clean technique, that is, if you want to use your hands, open up all you ingredient bags first, then put on sterile gloves and just touch the ingredients not the bags with the sterile gloves. You basically nullified all your prior antimicrobial sanitizing by using your bare hands and introduced your skin flora to your balms.

[@shelbylamothe8833]

I started making a lip balm last year with lemon-balm infused olive oil, and it is wonderful! I get dried lemon balm from Amazon to infuse in the oil for the lip balm and in distilled water to make a lemon balm soap. If you're not familiar with lemon balm, it is fantastic in bath & body products! I need to get some of those labels!

[@EllenRuthSoap]

That sounds wonderful! And what a creative idea to use infused oil, love it 💕

[@amandakelley1331]

You are not joking when you said beeswax is a mess to deal with. My first time making lip balm a year ago looked a little like the I Love Lucy episode where they're on the chocolate assembly line. I had no idea how quickly it was going to set up. It didn't pour like I anticipated. I made a massive mess and wiped my gloved hand covered in lip balm all over my face not thinking. It was a nightmare. Now I can make a batch without a mess but boy that first time was a doozy. Glad no one saw me it would have been hilarious! Thank you again Ellen!

Love the kraft labels. I was born in 51' and we didn't ever get lip balm (couldn't really afford it) so I love flavored chapsticks. I will do Root beer as a treat, but normally keep it low keyed unless someone requests a certain flavor. I will have to try your recipe. It looks easier. Cheers 👍 💕

[@codybrookehanson2346]

Those look beautiful ❤️ I just made my lip balms and my recipe is very similar to yours - I think I have the addition of jojoba oil, liquid stevia and stearic acid. Plus for my cocoa balms I added a teensy tiny bit of cocoa powder. I have one with kokum butter instead of cocoa as well as my cocoa butter is very fragrant, the way I like it ☺️

Your chapstick story is very funny to me, because that was kind of a thing when I was a kid in the 2010s. I’m a guy so was adjacent to the whole thing, but there where these big egg shaped lip balms that everyone loved for a few years, they where a similar kind of status symbol at my school. Cool to see history repeat itself.

[@sabrinamuckridge7355]

I love this, and you! Thank you for putting yourself out there and showing us how you work and all of your tips of the trade. I enjoy your videos and experiences so much as a newer soaper. I currently make soaps, lotion bars, bath melts, and want to try this lip balm recipe! I’m hoping to sell my products soon, but am still researching the legalities and such that are needed or recommended for such an endeavor. I’m in Indiana so I know states vary in that department, but I am curious on labeling options and why people choose what they do. You’ve not really shown your soap labels other than stamping them that I’ve seen. Would you mind sharing what you do and why? Right now I’m thinking a simple band around the soap for the sake of cost and simplicity, but am also open to other options. I know many shrink wrap, or box, or twine with a tag (which I’m also considering for above mentioned reasons). As of now it’s been a hobby with lots of gifting to family and friends, but I would like to make it more, to at the very least help pay for the hobby, ideally to perhaps be another income I can transition to fully at some point. I also make art so am thinking a business all encompassing of my various crafts.

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Thanks for watching, and welcome to the soapy life💕 I have a couple of different ways to wrap my bars, the "showy" ones I shrink wrap, and the more simple ones I wrap in a craft wax paper.. I'll be doing a wrapping video soon.

I am going to have to try one of those trays! I have a lip balm tray from when I was in business that holds about 20 tubes from the bottom and of course, the trick is to pour them without spilling anything onto the tray. LOL!!! I am pretty good at it, but it can get messy if you spill. the droppers never worked for me either due to the cooling and hardening of my recipe plus it takes way too long. So I just always tried to pour and not spill. Also I found that spritzing a paper towel with a little alcohol and then wiping off the tubes after the caps are on assures that they are squeaky clean and that the labels stick really well.

[@EllenRuthSoap]

I'm really loving the pour tray! Thanks for the tips on pouring and cleaning!
