[@bolanleasala5928]

I just made this today, and I am in love. I would be gifting the remaining ones and also gifting during the holiday 🎉. Thank you for sharing Ellen

[@jitbiz]

I have watched so many of your videos. They are great. I love watching them. And also thanks for using the international measurements standards this time rather than the old world Imperial one. It's a headache to convert.

[@sandeeconn4671]

I so love the way you are dealing with the beeswax!! I have a local Apiary near me....hmmmm! Maybe I'll need to go this route - thank you so much for such wonderful ideas!!

[@anitaking6261]

hi ellen , i just found your channel a few weeks ago and it is a pleasure watching. just made the butter balms and i love it! i used half the recipe and made 12 so i imagine the whole recipe makes about 24-25 lipbalms. thanks for sharing and being so informative.

[@nainashah3629]

Loved the idea of making small cubes of bees wax

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Thanks! They're much easier to work with.

[@cryingbroken8824]

If it was *rock hard* it would be easier To deal with!

[@cryingbroken8824]

Just for a reference: 5grams=5mls= 1 tsp

Thank you for sharing. Great video as always!!

I have really bad eczema on my lips and eyelids right now. I made this lip butter balm today and it’s just wonderful! So rich and soothing, on my lips and my dry eyelids, without being heavy. I love it, thank you so much for sharing the recipe with us!

[@EllenRuthSoap]

You're welcome 💕 I'm so glad you're loving it 🥰

[@cliviascreations]

Thank you Helen, I use honey on my lip balms or maple syrup for the vegans, you will need to add it when the oils are warm , but no hot and you will do it very slowly. Also for my local beeswax, since I am a coffee drinker, I use an empty coffee container ( call me cheap) lol but works

[@EllenRuthSoap]

The coffee can is a great idea! Thanks for watching!

[@nicolesharp216]

Thank you so much for this recipe. Have made a batch and it feels so lovely on my lips. Will be giving a tube or two to my daughter as she works in the elements everyday and I know her lips will be protected.

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Wonderful! So glad you gave it a try!

[@Kim-yy4ym]

You have been so helpful. Thank you!

[@Brenda-rv9ku]

Thank you for the recipe. I love it. I had made one with honey as well and it did not work well either. This one is a keeper too 😊

[@RCGriffinSoapCompany]

Love this recipe! Mine turned out soooo nice. Thank you so much!

[@EllenRuthSoap]

You are so welcome!

[@RCGriffinSoapCompany]

@@EllenRuthSoap just made your lotion bars too…with the little bees…you are a genius! And such an inspiration!

[@SteadfastTrailFarm]

💗 I am working on a lip balm recipe! I add a little castor oil to help retain moisture. One thing I've learned for sure is I can't make soap, lip balm, or bath bombs like I cook lol... For the most part it's about exact measurements! As always thanks for sharing! 😊

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Oh yes, that's so true... Cooking is "a pinch of this and that.." not so for soaping and the like🤣

[@firdowskruger9896]

Thank you darling, Ellen. Always look forward to your videos. Sending you love and warm wishes from an EXTREMELY COLD Pretoria. Not complaining. Winter is my favourite season💃💃

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Thank you so much for watching! Your cold weather sounds nice, it's hot and humid here in TN (not my favorite weather)

[@firdowskruger9896]

It is always a pleasure to watch you make your products. 👍 Cheers and Blessings 💕💕

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Thanks so much 😊

[@K1F1L]

Thank you so much for the recipe! I have a question. Can I use beef tallow instead of shea butter?

[@EllenRuthSoap]

I suggest trying a small test batch and see how you like it👍

[@rlpittard]

Those Silicone molds are the best! I have tried other ones that are mot flexible and some tubes do not fit but with the silicone ones I have not had any issues!

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Yes 👍

[@DawnOrganics]

Great video and excellent ingredients. They sure do fix lips up without effort. I often get dry cracked lips in winter and after a couple of applications it heals. Shea butter, cocoa butter and coconut oils are amazing ❤️

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Thank you! Yes, I love those ingredients too!!

[@LackadaisicalLibrarian]

Thank you for the wonderful tutorials! If I were to sell lip balms at a craft fair, how would I know the expiration date? Do these need some kind of preservative so they don't go bad?

[@EllenRuthSoap]

These do not need a preservative, I always suggest using within a year of making.

[@steelersgirl071961]

Yes, cutting with knives are dangerous for me, im clumsy lol!! These look very nice, I think I'll have to get a couple to try, thanks Ellen, you are so informative, I love it! Have a wonderful day 😊!

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Thanks so much for watching! Yes, I've learned over the years to be carful with knives...🤣

[@isabelladavis1363]

What a clever idea reducing into smaller usable sizes! I hear so much about Shea being grainy how can you keep it from doing that? The melted oils would pour amazingly with a squeeze bottle like a salad oil bottle with a long nozzle like those bought at the grocery stores ...you give so much wonderful information thanking you so much for all of your efforts,stay blessed !

[@EllenRuthSoap]

shea can get grainy if you overheat it, so a low and slow melt is good...

[@HeavensEssentials]

those turned out great! thank you for sharing your recipe and your talent with us. 😊

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Glad you like them!

Yes you can👍

[@modahesabi2719]

Thank you so much Ellen. I am trying your recipies. Could we colour this lip balm with food coloring? Did you try?

[@EllenRuthSoap]

I would not recommend food color. There are lots of skin safe micas to choose from 😉

[@joniperiu8308]

Hi Ellen, just came across this video. My question is do the lip balms melt easy?? I live in Florida where you know its very hot and humid. I do a lot of outdoor vendor shows even in the summer. thanks

[@FranklyNaturalBeauty]

We had trouble adding honey to our lip balm recipe too. I love your recipe . Thank you for sharing ❤️

[@EllenRuthSoap]

yes, it's almost impossible to get it emulsified with the oils🤣. Thanks for watching!

[@oruth4442]

Hi Ellen, Thanks for the wonderful recipe. I tried it and it came out well. However, after a few days it started becoming grainy. Please have you got any tips on how to fix that.

[@EllenRuthSoap]

I've had that happen before too. It could be too high of a melting temp, or the hard oils and butters weren't fully mixed with the liquid... You can try adding a touch more liquid oil if you remelt it and make sure it's blended really well.

[@oruth4442]

@@EllenRuthSoap Thanks for the reply!! Will try doing that.

[@rtaaaa1111]

Thank you for inspiring me so much! I don't miss a single video you put up! Would you consider sharing some vegan lip balm/lotion bar recipes? 🙏

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Thanks so much for watching 💕. That's a great suggestion, I'll have to work on a vegan recipe 😉

[@cliviascreations]

You can use candelilla wax or carnauba wax instead of the bees wax, for the lip balm,the ratio is not going to be the same though.

[@shannonkey1925]

If you wanted to add color, what would you use? Micas, liquid? And would you use polysorbate 80 as well?

[@EllenRuthSoap]

I would add a skin safe mica

[@deborahfabien430]

Hello Ruth I tried your recipe fantastic thank you for sharing however mine had little holes in the middle what could that be?

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Glad you gave it a try! The little sink holes are when the oils harden, they shrink a bit. You can go back over them with a bit more melted balm or use the heat gun to melt the tops a bit and it will fill in the holes.

[@deborahfabien430]

Thank you Ruth that’s exactly what I did, I went over your tutorial again and did it with the heavy gun thank you so much for responding

[@gonzalez-valdez8043]

Hello, what is the shelf life for the butters Shea, mango, cocoa, and kokum ? Thanks!

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Most sellers of those butters will have an expiration date on them, I'd go by that.

[@gonzalez-valdez8043]

@@EllenRuthSoap thank you!

[@ursulawischott9311]

Love watching your videos. Will be trying these in the future 😊

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Great! Have fun crafting!

[@phneshahale1836]

Is there a substitution for the coconut oil?

[@EllenRuthSoap]

You could play around with upping the other butters... I would try a small test batch and see if you like the feel.

[@lyndiforehand]

Hey Ellen! Love your channel! How many does this recipe make?

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Depending on the tubes you're using, it makes about 22-25 units

[@lyndiforehand]

Thank you!

[@1Mait]

How do you know what size to make your labels?

[@EllenRuthSoap]

online labels has suggestions for label size, these are standard lip balm labels.

[@buttermilkbaysoap9416]

The lip online labels don’t stick……any tips to get them to stay stuck. I’ve tried a heat gun to get the adhesive moving but I guess on-line doesn’t use a good adhesive. Do you find the same problem?

[@camerakatie]

how many tubes did you make with the weights of this recipe? Or what is your trick to create lip balm recipes? Do you have a calculator like you do with soap? Thank you so much for all your videos and advice!!

[@EllenRuthSoap]

This recipe makes about 20 tubes

[@camerakatie]

@@EllenRuthSoap thankyou so much!!

Is beeswax safe if consumed ?

[@EllenRuthSoap]

I can't really speak to that, but this product isn't intended for consumption. Beeswax is a very common lip product ingredient.

[@divabarrie08]

Please help me I love your recipe and I use it all the time. But every time I use the cocoa butter all I smell is chocolate from that butter and I don’t smell the fragrance oil that I use. I don’t want to waste any of my ingredients or oils as it is not cheep but help me fix the problem thanks.

[@EllenRuthSoap]

You can replace the cocoa butter with another butter.

[@divabarrie08]

@@EllenRuthSoap can I use coconut butter instead of cocoa butter will it still make the same exact recipe texture and all.

@@EllenRuthSoap I use your recipe. How is it that you use cocoa butter and you said that you don’t smell the chocolate you smell your fragrance oils what am I doing wrong.
