Lovely dupe Marie! That was fun and satisfying to watch. Breaking down a favorite formulation (especially retired favorites) is a lot of fun. I will have to try this one. I can NEVER have too many lippy lip balms. Cheers! Jen
I've tried every lip balm on the market & always return to Burt's Bees. I even broke down & tried Beekman Brothers Pure Goats Milk & it doesn't hold a candle to Burt's Bees.
I used to have a skin care aromatherapy skin care company…back in the day….and now it is so much easier and cheaper to get containers and supplies off of Amazon.
I use 30% beeswax in the winter and 32% in the summer - always insures it won't melt in my pocket but still spreads smoothly. It is a crime how much lip balm is marked up. Then again, the price of the tubes has at least doubled in the past few years.
@@mercutiochaux1041It’s not acting as or being used as a moisturizer. It is being used as a stabilizer so that at room temperature and above, your stick of lip balm remains a solid. Ideally, you want your body heat / warmth of your lips to be just enough to melt the product and allow the oils to then absorb and moisturize the lips.
I'd recommend trying something other than beeswax. It's cheap and stable, but it's really not the best thing to be putting on your skin. Olive wax is a much better moisturizer and it doesn't clog your pores. Candelilla wax works too, as does palm wax but that last one has a funky smell to it that bothers some people.
How is it inferior ? beeswax has its unique properties and other waxes has its own qualities. Personally, i prefer beeswax for lipbalms, it smells and works the best for me and very simple.

I just found this channel from a lipstick-making video. These videos are amazing! There are a lot of ingredients that I don't have, but this video is one that I actually think I could pull off. I'm really excited to see what kinds of beginner recipes you have! 😊
Welcome! ❤️ You might consider checking out the free version of my DIY Skincare for Beginners mini-course for even more beginner-friendly DIYs: course.humblebeeandme.com. Happy making!
Awesome video!! Thank you!! I will try this for sure!! I was wondering what tweak you’d make to create the pomegranate version of Burt’s Bees lip balm!! That’s my hands down favorite lip balm of all time!! Thx in advance!!
Thanks for watching ❤️ It looks like the pomegranate version features some sort of lip-safe pomegranate fragrance, a tiny bit of pomegranate oil, and a bit of carmine for colour. I covered how to incorporate/shift all these ingredients in this video: ua-cam.com/video/Cv4zR5pwR0g/v-deo.html. Happy making!
Emmm looks lovely. Thank you dear Marie. Was wondering if preservatives is needed in lip balm; cuz what happened I made lip balm but the vitamin e oil that I used wasn't genuine and with time the lip balm started to smell bad,
Awesome!!!! Thank you so much, perfectly timed too. Sometimes it feels impossible to keep parts moisturized this time of year. Very excited to try this lip balm ☮️💟
Hi Marie, just started to follow you. Your videos are so amazing! I am new to DIY skincare. I live in the sunshine state (Florida) and I do a lot of farmers markets. Do the balms melt easy??
I love your videos, thank you so much. I haven't made any yet, but I absorb so much info from watching them. I do believe this will be my first, because I was planning on making a lip balm for the grandkids. But not peppermint. Is it safe to assume that when you get to the part of adding the peppermint EO, this can be swapped out? I have a sugar cookies blend of EOs and was considering that as a flavor. Thank you again!
Thank you so much for sharing this! Great video. I have a question - I greatly prefer the Burt's in a tin over the stick. I feel like the formulas for the tin is smoother and lasts longer. Any thoughts on this? How you might tweak the recipe to approximate what's in the tin? Thanks!
I use true blue spa, paraffin super softening hand lotion but it has been discontinued. I just found your channel and wondered if you could figure out a dupe for it. I love the texture and scent and this is the second cream I have lost because its been discontinued. Johnson and Johnson baby cream was the first cream I lost years ago and I have tried versions made in other countries but they aren’t the same.
Hi there, thanks enjoyed this vid, I want to ask you if you can let me know if you add mica to your lip balm and use a lip balm pot how do you prevent the mica from sinking to the bottom? thank you. x Candice.
My favorite homemade lip balm is just beeswax and tallow with a little tocopherol but I’m going to try this one for sure. My more veg balms haven’t turned out the best in texture.
Hello, I love your dupe videos and was wondering if you could dupe a face cream for dry skin that won't clog pores. Maybe something like a dupe for the Skinfix Barrier+ Triple Lipid-Peptide Face Cream?
Thank you for you, I have some questions ,please answer me If I do not have essential oil what can I replace it with? The essential oil used is concentrated or diluted?
Because both the beeswax and lanolin would have to be swapped to make this vegan, I recommend trying one of my vegan formulations instead of trying to modify this one :) Search "vegan lip" at www.humblebeeandme.com/search. Happy making!

Please look up "precision scale" in the "Equipment" section of the free Humblebee & Me DIY Encyclopedia (www.humblebeeandme.com/diy-encyclopedia/equipment/) ❤️ There's a few different options at a variety of price points there!
Where did you get those tubes so cheap? I tried finding them but the most cheap one is around €0,50 (0,70 canadian dollars) without shipping from Dutch suppliers (I live in the netherlands). Though still cheaper than most lipbalms out there
Is it fine to use a fragrance oil in lip balms ? I was going through candle science website and according to their document uploaded on the website (IFRA). The maximum usage of the percentage for lip products is (0)... a lot of people love berries or vanilla flavoured lip balms. What can be done here ?

marie ppl are duping a sugar scrub like tree hut' s consistancy ive look ay the ingre but cant fig out what thier using to make it like sillt putty consistancy its all over fb can you help
The consistency can be like that because of their emulsifying ingredient some use emulsifying waxes which are great but others are using solid butters like shea butter or thick oils like non-refined coconut oil. Tara Lee on UA-cam made a whole video about six ways to do sugar scrubs and one was very similar to tree hut.

Beeswax definitely isn't the best thing to be putting on your skin, but it is cheap, stable, and has a long shelf life, so I understand why. Still, it's worth spending a little extra to get something much healthier for your skin like olive wax or candelilla wax.
I'm curious about your sources for this claim, and especially as to why you've mentioned what is effectively Crisco made from olive oil as a preferable alternative to beeswax (olive wax is hydrogenated olive oil and not a "true" wax) :)
@@HumblebeeAndMe It's mostly just that beeswax is more of an occlusive than a moisturizer. It's because it is a true wax that it doesn't really introduce any moisture to the skin so much as it just forms a barrier around the skin, which can be helpful I suppose if your skin is already moisturized, but a lot of plant-based waxes that are really just oils turned into a solid substance by exposing them to high temperatures and changing the hydrogen bonds interact with the skin in a way that encourages moisture absorption better. It's not like beeswax is going to irritate the skin or cause problems or anything like that, but it can lead to that annoying thing where you put it on your skin and you end up with dry, shiny skin. But petrolatum is a lot worse about that. Rubbing Aquaphor on your chapped lips just gives you reflective but no less chapped lips.
@@YourFavoriteCommie I see what you're stabbing at but I don't think "healthier for your skin" is the right way to express it. More like it's just more moisturizing. Beeswax is fine for your skin, so is olive wax, carnuba wax, so on and so forth. Some just are better moisturizers than others. Beeswax is ok, it's definitely not my first choice, but it's a lot better than some things like lanolin or petroleum jelly, or even tallow, which will do a decent job moisturizing but it smells absolutely abhorrent and has the most disgusting greasy texture.
Your website needs help. Is so disorganized and doesn’t display good on cell phone. I still can’t find where u bought the Cera alba (beeswax, cire d’abeille) and scale.
I was thinking the exact opposite. I think that her website is extremely well organized and I am always able to easily find what I'm looking for.
