I have an empty chapstick container that is washed out. Im not sure how to make a chapstick though making lip balm in a container is easy but i want to make a chapstick. thanks!How do you make chapstick and lip balm?
Hi. Do not use petroleum jelly.Petroleum jelly is a PETRO CHEMICAL, IS VERY BAD FOR YOUR SKIN. Make your own UN-petroleum jelly. Use 2 ounces of beeswax( or another natural wax) and 1 cup of olive,castor,or sweet almond oil. Melt wax with the oil in a glass Pyrex cup at low temp in microwave at 15 second intervals till wax is melted. Let cool a little bit, then add your peppermint oil (very little) , then pour into tubes or pots. Try adding other oils as you get used to making lip balms. All ingredients can be bought at a grocery store, or health store. Good luck!!How do you make chapstick and lip balm?
Basic Recipe For Lip Balm:








- 2 1/2 teaspoons oil/butter





-1/2 teaspoon beeswax





-1/2 teaspoon flavoring (optional)





- 1/2 teaspoon extra moisturizers (optional)





- 1/8 teaspoon preservative





- 1/4 teaspoon color (optional)








With any recipe, begin by melting your oils, butters, and beeswax in a heat-resistant container. Pyrex measuring cups work especially well for this, as they can be put in the microwave and have pour spouts to prevent spilling. Alternately, you can use a small pot to heat the ingredients. Once they have all melted, allow three to five minutes for the mixture to cool. The purpose of this is to preserve later ingredients, which may be damaged by high temperatures. Use the cooling period to clean and sterilize your lip balm containers. Stir in any flavorings, colorants, and other optional ingredients. While the mixture is still a liquid, pour it into your prepared containers. You can either purchase these in the cosmetics department of your local store or reuse old chapstick jars. Once the lip balm has cooled and solidified, it is ready for use. Remember to keep the finished product in a cool place or it will melt.
