    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.

    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.

    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 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!

    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 UA-cam 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!

    I would love to purchase one of these from you to try Ms. Ellen. Where would I go make that purchase. Not only do I want to support you as a fellow soapmaker (although I still consider myself a newbie), I'd love to try this as I would love to find a really great lip balm that I would actually like. It feels like all of the commercial ones, even Burt's Bees brand, seem to just require I put them on over and over again which I do not prefer. Excellent video, as always. Thank you so much for being so willing to share your recipes, tips, and tricks. I absolutely LOVE your channel. Tonight, I binge so I can catch up! 🤍
    Edit: I love that shea butter and it is my go to but I can't stand the bagged method. I know it's probably cheaper to sell that way, but I'd pay a few more bucks for the option to get a bucket instead of a bag. 🙂
    Edit2: Gosh I type so much. I am so sorry. I would so be your shrink wrap girl because to me, it is sooooo therapeutic. LOL!!! Now I need to go check my soaps and see if I have any ready to shrink wrap. 🤣

    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. Do you know why it would do this? I didn’t leave it in a car or anywhere where it could get too warm. It just sat on my office desk. Love your channel!!

    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
      @EllenRuthSoap  2 роки тому +3

      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
      @cliviascreations 2 роки тому +2

      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 tried this recipe it turned out great except that it still is a little hard even though it is summer here. Should I reduce the beeswax quantity to the recipe so its more moisturising and less hard. Everything else is perfect

      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.

    I have been watching you for a while and I l really love your videos and a lot of your ideas, tricks, hacks and suggestions. Your videos are such a great resource and inspiration to me. Thank you so much for all you do. I think I am going to buy all these supplies and try my hand again at making lip balm. I have issues with a fine sand feel to the lip balm and it is likely the shea and mango butter. I have read all the comments and done some of my own research, so I have a couple of things to try to overcome this (double boiler on low heat, adding the shea butter after the other butters have melted, and tempering for 30 minutes). Or maybe I will just use cocoa butter (or mango butter) and consider other butters later as I learn more about lip balms. I need some immediate gratification. LOL. And I designed my labels using canva and then shared them with maestro and they came out perfect. Try checking out this video; it was easy to follow.

    The problem with citrus essential oils is most are not safe on the skin in the sun. They can cause sunburns. Not something you want in a lip balm 😉 If you really want a citrus it’s best to go with a “10 fold” orange not a sweet orange
