Just wanted to drop a note telling you I made this recipe with a slight tweak. Gave the lip balm out as Christmas gifts. Everyone LOVED the lip balm. You knocked this lip balm out of the park!! Thank you Ellen!
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!
They won’t share with candle wicks it took me a year to figure out how I wanted my wicks to burn and what jars and I spent a fortune and have wicks I can’t use.
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...
I'm from 83 love the video you explain it all SO WELL and show all the items you use. alot of people don't do that it drives me nuts lol showing all the ingredients Makes IT WAY EASIER you are amazing I appreciate the video Truly I do . Thank you❤.
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 :)
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!
I was born the same year and my favorite lip balm flavor was the huge bubble gum flavor, I did not eat though, lol! To this day, I have to have something on my lips 24-7! Thank you for your videos, I'm a retired healthcare worker and just starting making soap but want to make lip balms for my grand-babies, the hubs and myself. I have learned so much from you, keep up the good work and God bless :)
I absolutely love how "real" you are! You tried the pipettes and realized it was taking too long. BUT you tried! Thank you for the recipe and the video!
Thank you so much. You explain without being boring and you know exactly when to speed up the video. I'm learning a lot. I sell lip balms and such. My recipes are different but I'd like to try yours out on my family and see what these picky people say. I think they're gonna love it ; - )
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.
By the way, l just purse the online labels & was so happy to know it will come with template download so l don’t have to buy label design templates. SAVED me some money! Thank you thank you! 💕❤️🙏
I just tried this recipe. I cut the recipe in half and Ellen I can’t THANKYOU enough! I used crafters choice peppermint flavor oil that I had on hand. I gave up on lip balms a few years ago but decided to try it again thanks to your video. Here in the north east the lips get chapped. Love this stuff!!! Smoothing the tops off- great tip🤩
@@EllenRuthSoap I used to buy Bulk Apothacary lip balms to test out but I found myself always wiping it off my lips; couldn’t stand the ingredients. I’m so glad you shared this recipe.
Oh my gosh. I made this recipe for friends and family for Christmas. And is seriously the best lip balm I’ve ever had. Everyone loved loved them. The honey separated on the bottom of some. Any way to prevent that?
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 ☺️
Oh Ellen, you are famous and still generous enough to share some recipe with your followers! I made your tallow soap and OMG I think it will be my go to favorite soap from here on in. My hands feel like I'm wearing hand lotion after I use it. Can't wait to make this lip balm!
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!
I absolutely adore your videos! I recently started trying my hand at soaps....so far only one good batch but I’m going to keep on trying! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Thank you, Ellen, for your wonderful recipe. I'll be doing it this weekend as soon as the supplies arrive. You are awesome. Thank you for teaching me how to make this recipe.
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 👍 💕
I did try your recipe (with abit of adjusting) and i LOVE IT!!! 😍 I did put just a litle bit of castor oil for shine and its just amazing. Made my lips soo soft ❤
That silicone mat looks really convenient. I did a DIY lip balm holder with recycled Styrofoam lol 😆 and I use my funnel pourer too. Saw another you tuber with a very sturdy holder that accommodates 800 lip balm tubes 🤯. Thanks for sharing this recipe. They look awesome. ♥️🤍🖤🇹🇹
A BIG thank you from Virginia! I am just finishing up our soap line and eventually want to add lip butter and bath bombs. Just placed my wholesale supply plus order ! Thank you for sharing all you have learned and your resources! God Bless in all your endeavors!! ~jc
Like how you think on your feet! If it doesn't work one way, you just change up and go a different route! Very good! I initially started watching because I needed knowledge on what soap I should buy from my local farmers market for my sensitive face. Now I'm thinking perhaps I should just make my own soap! Thank you for sharing so much, and you have excellent positive energy that comes across the video! Very well done!!!!!
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.
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 remember those lip smackers things....I never did like them but, my friends did. My mammaw sold AVON so she always made sure I had chapstick. She still does and I'm 52 and she's 92. Another one we all had was Hello Kitty chapstick from the Hello Kitty store in the mall. It was truly a magical place for a little girl. I still remember it as a dazzling place. LOL.
Hi Ellen. Thank you so much for sharing this really lovely and lush lip balm recipe! I made up a double batch, varied the recipe a little by reducing the shea butter and adding in a bit more cocoa butter to compensate and only 10 drops of peppermint oil I am very pleased with the final product, it was a lot of fun to make. Thanks again for your friendly and very fun videos, they’re always great, and I look forward to more! Cheers Mike
So amazing and it looks so easy...I work outdoors and would be lost without it, so much wonderful information and clever ideas ...thank you again for your time and energy putting all this together for us,stay blessed,🙏🏻
I SPEND TOOOO MUCH MONEY on all things lips...I started looking at the ingredients in some and was shocked at what I put on my lips. So, thank you for sharing, I just made my first ALL NATURAL batch and I LOVE IT! It's not too greasy, it has staying power and my lips already feel the difference (or maybe it's just me)! You are Gold! Thank you.
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.
I live out in Arizona and the weather is finally starting to cool down. But even at 89 degrees, my lip balms start to melt a bit during markets and it can be stressful. Is there any tips on how to make them last longer? I use sunflower oil, Shea butter, beeswax, cocoa butter and vitamin E.
Thanks for sharing!! I have made my first official batch!! It feels amazing on my lips! You can feel the quality of the ingredients...nothing like I have ever tried before...way better than store bought chap stick for sure. I don't think I would feel bad charging $3 a tube.lol 😄🤗
😂 I was born in '75 and the Lip Smackers were STILL a thing all the way through high school! I would do the "flavor" & not the color if that's an option. And CBD. That silicone pour assist is an absolute miracle!
This looks like a no fail recipe. I have everything to try it out this afternoon too. Thank you for sharing. On a side note I was born in '68 and grew up all over the country. Lip Smackers lanyards reigned. As an adult, I moved a mile away from Bonne Belle, they have since sold the Lip Smackers name.
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.
love your video! Can't wait try this. Perhaps I missed a step, but do melt all the ingredients in a microwave? I've other videos that melt ingredients in a double broiler. Thanks so much
Oh my goodness thank you for the recipe! Not a maker but assessed with all things peppermint ☺️ I thought your pour went great, but I’ve seen people use those large medicine droppers. Another option to try :)
Another wonderful video. Thank you so much for sharing. I have never made lip balm but may I suggest pouring your warm oils into a "ketchup" or "mustard" bottle with a very small hole cut in the top for filling your containers? Maybe less of a mess? Love the heat gun tip for the glossy finish :)
Hi Ellen I love how you explain your process that you are doing. I just bought myself a lip ball tray. I haven't received it but I am excited to use it. ☺ Thank you for sharing.
Just wanted to drop a note telling you I made this recipe with a slight tweak. Gave the lip balm out as Christmas gifts. Everyone LOVED the lip balm. You knocked this lip balm out of the park!! Thank you Ellen!
Thanks 🥰 I’m so glad you’re enjoying it ❣️
does this recipe easily melt when applying? i heard you can add more beeswax but i dont know how much to add to make it a tad more firm
What was your tweak?

What is your best advice for cleaning your supplies when you’re done?
I like to melt and wipe out with paper towels before washing with hot soapy water.
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.

I'm really loving the pour tray! Thanks for the tips on pouring and cleaning!
love your video! Can't wait try this. Perhaps I missed a step, but do melt all the ingredients in a microwave? I've other videos that melt ingredients in a double broiler.
Thanks so much
I did use the microwave, but a double boiler works great too!
Hiii Ellen … I want to give it a try …. Can I use virgin coconut oil in this … it is in liquid form …love🥰
An MCT oil would effect the consistency
Thanks for this! How can i avoid the grainy feeling that they develop a couple days after making them like this? Please help! 😅
Melt low and slow, that really helps combat the graininess.
Oh my goodness thank you for the recipe! Not a maker but assessed with all things peppermint ☺️ I thought your pour went great, but I’ve seen people use those large medicine droppers. Another option to try :)
Thanks 💕 and that's a really good suggestion 👍

Another wonderful video. Thank you so much for sharing. I have never made lip balm but may I suggest pouring your warm oils into a "ketchup" or "mustard" bottle with a very small hole cut in the top for filling your containers? Maybe less of a mess? Love the heat gun tip for the glossy finish :)
That's a great idea for pouring! Thanks!
Hi Ellen
I love how you explain your process that you are doing. I just bought myself a lip ball tray. I haven't received it but I am excited to use it. ☺ Thank you for sharing.
