Wow!! I loved watching that! Thank you so much. I'm going to get myself a scraper! I don't know how I've been managing without one!! I'm facing a small issue with my balms. After filling the transparent tubes with the wax and oils, I lay it to rest overnight. The next morning I cap them. (The temperatures here are between 14 Celsius at night, to 24 Celsius in the day). When I turn it clockwise, the lip balm rises out of the tube and I can apply it to the lips. (The balm itself has a nice texture and glide). However, if I now turn it anti-clockwise, the balm retreats down, BUT a short segment of the balm, separates from its larger whole INSIDE the tube. Meaning, after the balm has gone up for lip application purpose, and if then I turn it anticlockwise to bring the balm down, the lip balm breaks off and a gap is created inside the tube between the 2 pieces. If I turn it clockwise again, the smaller piece will meet the bigger piece and it "appears" merged. Is this a common issue? I mean, am I NOT supposed to turn a tube anti-clockwise?? If the tube was opaque, I would never have known about this... Can you please help? :))
The pancake griddle is the BEST tip! Could you please share where you got your stainless pitcher for melting everything, or at least what size it is so I can search for one? Thanks for all your amazingly helpful videos.
Hi Ariane! I really love your video and those are really amazing pour with very clean process! yesterday I try to make lip balm with shea butter, but I really having a hard time cleaning the tools because apparently, I can't clean those with hot water or just paper towel.. do you mind shareing how you clean the tools as well? thank you! -Merlyn from Indonesia :D
Do you find that putting your finished lip balms in the refrigerator to cool causes any deformation or excessive shrinkage compared to a slower room temperature cooling?
Love your videos, Ariane! They are always so informative. Can you please share the name and brand of the precision scale that you are using in this video? It would be very much appreciated!
I really loved this video and have tried making mine but my lipbalms always become grainy after a few days or a week. Any idea why this happens please?
I am interested in purchasing one of these trays and I followed your link but I am now confused since they are asking for plastic or cardboard tubes?? I don't undertand this - are they expecting me to send them samples I purchase elsewhere and if so, why? I am super confused. I want to purchase one like yours and there is no mention of the bar you applied to keep the balms separated. Please help me Thank you, Sylvia

Hi , Ariane Would you please advice on how many time you can keep melting your lip balm oils? Does reheating multiple time effect the oils or butters , do they lose any of their benefits? Thank you for sharing your work and knowledge. Samar
You can remelt as long as you don’t overheat your oils/butters/waxes. I keep my mixture between 150-160 Fahrenheit and use a temperature controlled plate to ensure I don’t burn it off
I want to make a larger batch of lip balms but the consistency doesn’t come out the same when I double to products to make double the amount, do you have any advice?
Como faço para comprar esse aparelho e mais os tubetes você vende pro Brasil? É na França teria como comprar lá tenho amiga que mora em Paris? Se puder responder agradeço
I have experimented but the tubes get oily as the filling tray doesn't fit the cardboard tubes. Also, upon use of the lip balms, we find that the tubes get oil stains and the cardboard sometimes comes off onto the lips... which isn't fun. We keep the cardboard for our body balms, but for now, it isn't concluent for the lip balms.
@@ArianeArsenault thanks for the reply. i wish to buy local from my own province but am working towards zero waste and want to avoid the plastic. Perhaps a reusable metal tin of some kind ? i love your soaps :)
@@phoenixandthenoms9920 yes you could do metal tins. I prefer the tubes to finger dipping containers for lip balms. Many makers use the paper tubes, you should try them to figure if you like them ☺️
her scraping off the top is really satisfying to watch
I know right?! So fun to watch
Arianne , a friend of mine just gave me the flood trays for 4 different sizes. I am blown away by her generosity!

Amazing process. Now we know how Burt's Bees makes their lip balm. This is another great video, Ariane. Very inspirational. Thanks for sharing.
I think Burt’s Bees probably makes in much larger quantities with a different process. 🙂 This is still small scale production 🙌
I watched a youtube video about Baraka yesterday, was amazing! They work so hard to get an amazing product! So glad you support them.
Yes they do work really hard! It impressed me each time I see these women hand stir the shea butter! Just amazing ♥️
Love the hand crafter lip balms♥️♥️
Me encantan sus vídeos. Gracias por compartir. Le escribo desde Campeche Mexico
Watching your videos have given me such inspiration! Thank you!

never thought about using a pancake griddle to keep the wax warm. I like the separator I'm going to get one.
Fabulous
Amazing, as usual. ❤ Can you do a video on how you label your lip balms, please? That would be really cool and helpful.
I buy precut labels from onlinelabels.com they fit perfectly ☺️
I love your videos
Aalaaa!!!
That also looks so fun!
Finally I was waiting for this video.
I love your videos, can your share recipes for lip balm, lotion bar and soap? Really want to try to make them.
Great job!!
I just finished making some lotion bars with the same ingredients.
This was so enjoyable😘

Do you find that putting your finished lip balms in the refrigerator to cool causes any deformation or excessive shrinkage compared to a slower room temperature cooling?
Not at all. I put it in the fridge for maybe 30-60 minutes max and then pull it out as soon as it is firm.
@@ArianeArsenault thank you. You make beautiful products.
Awesome
Please can you tell me where you get your long stirring spoons for your candle making? I love your videos! 🥰
How long do your lip balms last ? And do you ever add a preservative?
What do you do with the top portions after you scrape the top? If you had a scent in it?? Do you just reuse to make more lip balm for everything??
Love your videos, Ariane! They are always so informative. Can you please share the name and brand of the precision scale that you are using in this video? It would be very much appreciated!
Is baraka shea butter the best ?
I really loved this video and have tried making mine but my lipbalms always become grainy after a few days or a week. Any idea why this happens please?
hi, where do you get your lipbalm tubes from?
Hi. How long is the shelf life for this? Thanks.

Where do you purchase your lip balm tubes/caps?
yes please, we need to know also!
Lovely video :)

How do you keep them from getting grainy?
Ojalá algún día poder tener la traducción en español de tus vídeos 🌹❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏
What are the ingredients?
Always wondered how you made them
My process has evolved in the past years. Now we make one large batch of each per year and we are done! Which is awesome

Any thought on changing the plastic packaging to the cardboard tubes?

Also, upon use of the lip balms, we find that the tubes get oil stains and the cardboard sometimes comes off onto the lips... which isn't fun.

How long did it take to make 800 lip balms?
When we only make lip balms we can make around 800-1000 in a day! We usually label them later though.
Miss you.. where were you ?
Probably either home with my kids or at the workshop with my hands full ☺️
@@ArianeArsenault Great dear ... Great work with Beautiful heart ❤️ a great soul I am very much glad that you replied..
I'm the 1000 view. 😉😉
yay!
