💖💞 I am a fanatic with lip balms! Yours have to be the best recipes yet! I love them and vanilla is my favorite. With that touch of lavender it’s just so delightful! And I agree with you, I love the thicker designs!💞💖
Lip balm making is just so satisfying. I love it! I really like the Sugar Plum one you shared this year and I look forward to trying this one too. Thank you Marie! 🤗
I always enjoy your videos. This looks to be a very good recipe. I recently, accidentally, found out that coconut oil dries my skin badly. So, I'm on the lookout for recipes that do not include coconut oil.
Thanks! Have you tried babassu oil? You might find it to be a good alternative. You can learn more in the Humblebee & Me DIY Encyclopedia (www.humblebeeandme.com/diy-encyclopedia/)!
Awesome vegan lip formulation Marie! I'll have to try it. Oily is the problem I have with most of my vegan lip formulations too. That lip feel is so important. Making glycerites today thanks to our little meet up--- goji berry, fig, mango and banana. Oh baby this is going to hopefully open up some new formulating fun. They seem to be used culinarily a lot for cooking so natural flavorings maybe?? We'll see! I love your washi tape tracking method! I think I might need to start collecting these. I already have half a dozen that were given to me so now I know what to do with it. 🌷Jen (the hydrosol girl from Victoria).
Thanks, Jen! Your glycerite experiements sound so exciting and decadent-I can't wait to hear how they turn out :D I am still trying to dream up something worthy of your amazing lavender hydrosol-SWOON. So far huffing it out of the bottle is working LOL.
Stearic acid! I recently switched from beeswax to carnauba wax but I wasn't satisfied with my two results, I will try yours next time! But what is benzoin resinoid? It might be lost in translation 🤷 Do I need it?
Hi :) great video hunny x. I am using sunflower lecithin liquid oil in replacement of stearic acid, how much should I use, I understand ijt it might not be the same consistency, I expect it will be a bit different :) X. Please can u tell me how much approx to use ? Xx thanku x
This lavender vegan lip balm looks incredible! I would never have thought to use steric acid! Thank you so much for sharing your awesome tips! 😍 If you're interested, I have a Channel myself, and I make vegan natural DIY's too which I share on there if you'd like to see them 😘❤ Otherwise, I absolutely LOVED this video 🤩 Can't wait to get making this lip balm recipe (hopefully it looks half as good as yours 🤞)
Hey Marie! When I'm pouring my lip balms they tend to form a hole in the centre. Like a vacuum is created with the change in temperature i guess. Do you have any pouring tips to avoid that ? Thank you for all your videos :)
Amanda at Realize Beauty has a great blog on what's behind this :) realizebeauty.wordpress.com/2018/11/19/why-does-lip-balm-form-a-dent-in-the-top-when-it-cools/ Happy making!
Try it and find out ;) I recommend reading through the FAQ (www.humblebeeandme.com/faq/) + Humblebee & Me DIY Encyclopedia (www.humblebeeandme.com/diy-encyclopedia/) as well!
I was always wondering about what do you do with your excess products? Like in this case you have 6 lip balms, what will happen to them? By the way, thank you for this video
@@HumblebeeAndMe wow, I see. Sounds great! By the way, i really really wanted to ask you about something, but i was not sure if you woul reply. The thing is, I always loved working with cosmetics and people but I never thought that I could actually make my own products until I found your channel here. I remember when I started watching your videos (February 2018), but I dont remember when I didn't watch your videos or missed any of your new posts. Because of your work, I got more confident in deciding to work on my own company. I watched all your videos for more than 2-3 times (each video), I learned so much compared to a year ago, I feel more brave to when I explain something related to cosmetics to people and I got more confident in me in general because of your channel and your blog (YOU). I really wanted to thank you for that. Thank you for providing thiz EXPENSIVE Knowledge for free. I am a student, doing part time and also working on my startup about Handmade-Organic Cosmetics, and I wanted to ask what other sources I need to go into to learn more about this industry, mostly making part. Would you suggest to save money to take Formula Botanica courses, or I can find some free resources to work on my startup? As I said I am a student, and I don't want to and I can't just waste my time and especially money. What would you suggest me to do? It is an urgent case, because my startup is not just an idea, it's a job that i really want to do and I have a team of r people in it, so I don't want to let them down or disappoint them. Please help me🤗😍
Hey! You'll find the answer to your question + lots of formula-specific and more general information about shelf life & preservation in both the partner blog post for this formulation (linked in the description box below) and the Humblebee & Me FAQ (www.humblebeeandme.com/faq/preservatives/).
I’ve read 33% of people can have a sensitivity of vitamin E. After researching I found lots of ingredients can cause allergies commonly for people. It’s hard to find any ingredients that arent. Do you know of any more useful ingredients?
That sounds unlikely-I would question your source for that claim. As for allergens, well... people can react to practically anything, especially if you are specifically googling around for it. Give this a read: www.humblebeeandme.com/faqs/why-dont-you-list-potential-allergens-on-recipes/. If I was looking to avoid ingredients that people can commonly react to I would avoid nut oils and all essential oils and fragrance oils.
Can I just leave the essential oils out of the recipe and it turn out fine without altering the amount of other ingredients? I'm not into fragrance...so I'm not going to be adding essential oils to mine.
Hello Eliza! Of course! There is no need to add in the essential oils if you don't want them in there! You can leave them out without altering the formula too much. However; to be a true formulator, I would strongly suggest replacing the essential oils with the sweet almond oil.

@@Fitzren Benzoin resinoid is not an essential oil, but a thick, amber colored wax that must be heated up to become liquid. This is extracted from the gum or resin using a solvent.
Hi Marie. Thank you for all you do. I really love all your products. My question is as follow. Would using a Lip Balm already made mix (bought at Hobby Lobby) and mixing the cool down phase ingredients be okay? Not only for this but for all lip balms. I am always missing some ingredients. I know it will be quite different but it doesn't hurt to try and the lip balm mix is so handy. It's premade and all I need to add are the flavors and scents. The Tacuma butter is so expensive and the cocoa butter has a scent.
I'd assume that's how a lip balm base would be designed-the sort of thing you can add essential oils, colours, etc. to? I haven't used one, and I'd recommend referring to the instructions that should accompany the base, but I'd assume that's how it should work?
Hi! While stearic acid CAN come from animal fats, but it is MUCH cheaper to get it from vegan sources like palm and coconut; I have never seen animal derived stearic acid for sale. Always double check with your supplier, but you can be very confident that vegan stearic acid both exists and is far more popular than animal derived stearic acid (purely due to cost issues-so you don't have to hope your supplier is vegan-minded, you can just count on them choosing the cheapest option!).
Another wonderful recipe! I love how you put out a variety of easier recipes and more challenging ones. I’m always excited to see what’s next!
Thank you so much! I try really hard to share a variety of formulas so there's something for everyone every now and then ❤️

Loved this video! I have a problem with dry lips and this lip balm "recipe" sounds perfect for me.

Benzoin retinoid essential oil is sold at Newdirections aromatics. 3.3oz cost $4.43. Cardamom essential oil is expensive.
Have you ever tried soy wax for lipbalm? If so is it moisturizing and which vegan beeswax is better for moisturization properties?
Was just thinking of making a vegan lip balm! Fab timing
Wahoo! Happy making!
@@HumblebeeAndMe Wahoo! I was wondering, can you use Soy Wax in leiu of the other waxes? I have some already and it'd be great if I can use that up
I always enjoy your videos. This looks to be a very good recipe. I recently, accidentally, found out that coconut oil dries my skin badly. So, I'm on the lookout for recipes that do not include coconut oil.

How can I nake it firmer? Its very soft
Stearic acid! I recently switched from beeswax to carnauba wax but I wasn't satisfied with my two results, I will try yours next time!
But what is benzoin resinoid? It might be lost in translation 🤷
Do I need it?
Can we use Soy Wax ? As a substitution ?
At what temperature should we add Vitamin E?
Also, I tried your recipe and can see tiny white spots in my balm. Could that be due to stearic acid?
Hi :) great video hunny x. I am using sunflower lecithin liquid oil in replacement of stearic acid, how much should I use, I understand ijt it might not be the same consistency, I expect it will be a bit different :) X. Please can u tell me how much approx to use ? Xx thanku x
I guess start with 1:1? This isn't a swap I recommend at all, though, so you are kind of on your own here :) Happy experimenting!
How did that turn out??
If you don’t use stearin acid is this formula too stiff?
Thank you mam to share the recipe on lip blam but I have questions..... Can use only btms 50... In lip blam n lotion bar too?
BTMS to is lovely in body butters (see my website for conditioning body butters); I'm not sure about its use in lip products.
Why is it so soft?
Definitely will try this! Question..can this same recipe be used to make a lip scrub?
You can certainly try it, but I do also have some dedicated lip scrubs on my website :)

Hi Marie! What about honey lip balm ? Or gelée royale.. need to emulsify??

Might need to try this, I just have to order more lip balm tubes first.
I feel ya! Lip balm tubes are one of the first things I started ordering 100 at a time-I gift a lot of lip balm ha.
I was always wondering about what do you do with your excess products? Like in this case you have 6 lip balms, what will happen to them? By the way, thank you for this video
In this case I gave several to my mom, and others will go to friends. I donate most of the soap I make to the Calgary Drop-In Centre :)

Darling whats the difference between isopropyle alchohol and rubbing alchohol????
There isn't one, all rubbing alcohol I've ever seen for sale has been isopropyl alcohol :)

No substitution for benzoin retinoid in your list on your blog. Looks this up and this is a very expensive.

Stearic acid: Yes, stearic acid is an animal by-product. It is derived from animal fats and oils. So it’s an animal by product not vegan.
Hi! While stearic acid CAN come from animal fats, but it is MUCH cheaper to get it from vegan sources like palm and coconut; I have never seen animal derived stearic acid for sale. Always double check with your supplier, but you can be very confident that vegan stearic acid both exists and is far more popular than animal derived stearic acid (purely due to cost issues-so you don't have to hope your supplier is vegan-minded, you can just count on them choosing the cheapest option!).
