Ooo, this recipe sounds lovely! I'm so sad that this is the last video :( But I am also happy that we finally got to see your pretty face in one of them ;) Great work, Debbie!
Great video (and recipe), Debbie! I've really enjoyed watching all of your videos and seeing the great projects you've put together. :)
Thanks Lori and Anne-Marie!! I was so lucky to work with Robert Mahar at Kin Community. He was my first wholesale customer ever, became my crafty friend, and eventually became the producer for Kin Community. It's neat how connections can work out (he wrote the introduction to my book, The Art of Soap, too!). It's a small world!
Can this be put into tubes, also?
Hi Heather! This recipe is pretty soft. I would increase the beeswax if you want to use tubes.
Hi debbie, is there a way to flavor it? esp vanilla or flavoring? and what bout food coloring or some way to dye it a color?
Hi Breemoix,
Since it has honey it's already sweet which you may like as is. You can find flavor oils online in many flavors, and you can color it with lip-safe micas, but food coloring might not incorporate since this is an oil based recipe. If you search online for lip balm recipes you will find many variations. Have fun!
Hey there, I tried this out (with a double batch for Christmas presents, and I had a really hard time getting the honey to incorporate. I can't tell how long it should take to fully mix it... do you have any tips/hints?
Hi Courtney - I looked up problems with incorporating honey and found this tip:
Do not add honey prior to melting your oils. The honey will burn. If your honey burns, it will not incorporate into your oils.
It's probably too late since you were making it for Xmas presents, but maybe it will help in the future!
hi, i wanted to know if like i wanted to add a strawberry flavouring to the recipe, do i still have to add the coconut oil and sweet almond oil?
Hi Michelle! You would just add a few drops of flavor oil to the recipe. Don't reduce the other oils.
