lip balm lip balm

not martha : adventures in lip balm you are here: some how to make stuff page go to: how to make stuff main page | home | about | sites to go to | archive to make : adventures in lip balm lip balm ready to use ingredients various containers ready showing the mirror glued to the bottom of one lip balm container - that's the reflection of the camera set up for melting - pyrex measuring cup in about one inch of water the beeswax and coconut oil beginning to melt - add the color and the essential oil last I bought a little whisk to use, but a toothpick works as well to mix shaving off a little bit of pink lipstick to add some color mixing in the color to make a lighter pink I use a disposable dropper to fill the containers containers filled and ready to cool, I stick them in the fridge for a few minutes My entire do-it-yourself obsession started with lip balm. Of course Martha Stewart was involved. Ok, ready? I spotted the lip balm kit in the Martha By Mail catalog -- which belonged to my mother! I swear it! After one night of obsessive deliberation (think of it! my own lip balm! wow! I won't have to worry about losing my little sticks because I'll be swimming in the stuff!) I ordered it. It was immediately, irrevocably back ordered. For months and months. And months. (Ask me how long the essential oils soap kit took to get me. Ask me about how it arrived a full day before I loaded up the moving truck for California.) So in that time Google and I became close friends over the words "lip balm", lip, balm, gloss, containers, "lip gloss"... You would be surprised the number of combinations a search on Google for "lip" and anything return a significant percentage of X-Files erotic fan fiction. (Mulder and Skinner?! Come on now.) I landed at Majestic Mountain Sage, which has the best recipe I have found so far, this one . That's the one I use ( see below for the measurements I use for a smaller batch). This one is great too, especially if you're looking for something which doesn't include cocoa butter (some people are allergic) as it is really more of a guideline. I have also heard people gush over the one with honey in it . But heed the part of the directions that have you stir it while it is cooling, otherwise it'll separate like, well, like honey and oil mixed together. They sell lip balm jars, lip balm tubes, all the ingredients you'd need, even little lip balm shrink wraps! There are several other suppliers online, check the resources page. I ordered a bunch of stuff from MMS, got some oils and such from Nature's Bin, cleaned out an old lip balm jar and had at it. Yay! By the time the stuff from Martha arrived I was way past the "kit" stage, but the containers are nice. The recipe from included in the kit created a greasy solid. The recipe from MMS produces something a little softer and glossier which I prefer. Small coincidence, almost all of the ingredients and containers in the Martha kit were, in fact, supplied by MMS. That is how my do-it-yourself obsession became my do-it-without-martha's-kits obsession. However, I'm still not happy with the lip balm. I don't know what is missing, a sort of emollient, heavy, staying-power, wonder ingredient. I myself do not like my balms to be sweet, so honey is out. I have a bottle of jojoba oil that I haven't tried out yet. As far as flavoring I prefer peppermint essential oil (I overdid the vanilla in the test runs, and still can't quite stand it). I present what I learned the hard way: melting it I bought a set of inexpensive utensils I use just for making lip balm and bath bombs, including a pyrex measuring cup I use to melt and mix the lip balm ingredients. I add a small amount of water to a shallow sauce pan, place the measure cup in it and heat on low as I add ingredients. I add the beeswax, shea butter and cocoa butter, and almond oil and let those melt. Then I add the vitamin e and the coloring and stir in well. Last I add the drops of peppermint oil right before filling the containers, because the oil will evaporate. I use a disposable droppers to fill the containers. I have read about beeswax becoming grainy if you heat it too high, too low, not long enough and too long. I have yet to get this straight. Honestly though, as long as the balm is for myself or my friends the graininess doesn't bother me, it melts on your lips. If you are looking to make something to sell you might want to test different techniques to make sure it comes out nice and smooth. droppers Get yourself some droppers. Pouring a hot oil solution into a tiny jar or tube is not fun. Turkey basters just won't work here. The disposable droppers from MMS are nice because you can just toss 'em and not worry about how to get the scent cleaned off so you can reuse it. Also, if you're making a very small batch (my proportions follow) they can measure out in milligrams what translates poorly as 1/16th of a teaspoon. You can also find small glass droppers or larger, graduated plastic ones at a drug store. Check around the eye/ear section, or in baby medicines. Be aware however, the oils in the lip balm completely wore off the plastic numbers on my cheap baby medicine dropper. I mean, undiluted orange essential oil can take the finishing off tables... Also, if you use the droppers to fill your lip balm containers it is extremely difficult to clean the dropper afterwards, the lip balm will harden in the dropper. You can clean it while alternatively running it under very hot tap water to keep the balm in a melted state. Or forget the droppers and pour it. If you spill, let the spill harden, it's a lot easier to clean that way. containers It seems like a favorite pastime on the GetCrafty boards is suggesting lip balm containers. I do not like those snap-lid pillbox types, I find they are not leak-proof, and unpleasant to open. The nice Lee Valley watchmakers tins (as seen so expensively as a wedding favor box over at Martha By Mail) do not have a secure lid, it just sits on top. The small Altoids tins are too large for my taste. I mean, you are rubbing your grubby fingers through there, I want something that has a bit more turnover. Avoid film containers, film is, you know, quite toxic. Anything too narrow and deep is likely to get on your nerves. I like the MMS style lip balm pots, low-profile lip balm pots, lib balm tubes and tins ( lip balm container page ). The regular pots have a indentation in the bottom deep enough to glue a 1" circle craft mirror into, which is nice to have right there, believe me. The tins do rust, especially if you use them to store little things in your very small, very steamy bathroom. If you don't want to buy bulk, Sunburst Bottle has no minimum (but be reasonable, they are a kind, small company and will lose money if you order only 35¢ worth of something) and carry pots, tins and tubes. Or, go to the drugstore, find a cheap lip balm in a pot, or some Bon-bons body glitter, or even a tube of store-brand lip balm (the chap-stick brand labels peel off very cleanly). Clean it out (this takes a bit of patience, and scrubbing with a nice, natural dish soap -- a clean mascara wand and an old toothbrush are your friends here) really really well. Sterilize with alcohol if you like (boil at your own risk) and reuse. coloring I admire people who strain beet juice to get a nice red color going or other nice natural things. However, a tiny sliver of cheap lipstick (Wet'N'Wild 99¢) is far easier. If you're just going for a pastel pink, say, choose a hot pink lipstick, you're only going to use a touch of it anyhow. Already pastel and shimmery colors don't translate well. Don't use food coloring. Don't use food coloring paste. And, dear lord, don't use pixie sticks and petroleum jelly, shame on you! flavor I don't like sweet flavors. I just add a few drops of peppermint essential oil. Be aware that some citrus oils can make the area applied to photosensitive. A few places do have sweet lip balm flavorings . Before you use a wacky essential oil, check to be sure it isn't a skin irritant. Don't use candy flavorings (peppermint, vanilla) as these are alcohol based, and nobody wants that, now do we? Besides, it will not mix in correctly. oils The types of oils you choose can really feel different. Try a few out. Avoid getting oils in the cooking section of stores, oils for cooking and oils intended for body use are often prepared differently. I think olive oil is ok though. Especially if it is from a smaller producer. Most recipes call for cocoa butter, coconut oil, sweet almond oil, etc. cocoa butter If you use cocoa butter the lip balm is going to smell and taste faintly of chocolate. It's not mmmmmm cho-co-late, it's reminiscent smell. Use coconut oil instead if you want to avoid this. Coconut oil comes in several forms, sometimes smelling highly of coconut. I bought a huge jar of Spectrum Naturals coconut oil which is a solid at room temperature (but beware, will melt on hot days) and doesn't have any scent. I prefer the feel of cocoa butter. Be aware some people are sensetive to cocoa butter, Lush made a lip balm without any for this reason. vegan If you are a strict vegetarian or vegan there are a number of lip balm recipes which substitute candelilla wax (pure vegetable wax). Also, Lush sells a vegan lip balm , as well as a number of yummy vegan bath products. There are several good hemp seel oil lip balms you can find in stores as well. decorations I tried, oh how I tried, to put little shapes in different colors in my lip balms like you can find in Target. I even have the itty bitty cookie cutters to prove it. Because of things like contraction when cooling and surface tension, these proved fruitless, and messy looking. On second thought, it worked ok, just don't expect a perfectly smooth surface. ease If you're all about the product and not about gathering bottles of oils you'll never use again, several places, including MMS, sell a lip balm base you melt, add color and flavor, and pour into containers. Eee. Zee. keeping it and sun issues This lip balm will not keep forever. And it will melt in your pocket. And it will not provide any sun protection. So if you are outside get a lip product with a heavy duty sunscreen. And make sure it has uvb and uva protection (look for these ingredients: titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, avobenzone (also called parasol 1789), or Mexoryl; and read this ). The vitamin e (I squeeze one or two capsules into the mixture, you can buy bottles of liquid vitamin e at a drugstore and add a few drops of that) is said to help prevent spoilage of the oils. But this stuff is meant to be used, not kept. instructions I attached when given as a gift instructions for use: unscrew cap either hold cap or place cap somewhere where you will remember you put it in five seconds use finger (or brush for those of you who are so inclined and happen to have a brush and enough time to a. find it and b. use it) to place on lips check self out in little mirror on the bottom! if it doesn't meet your lip needs (people are very picky about their lip balm, i am cool with this) may i suggest you use it as a cuticle cream? lip balm ingredients: sweet almond oil, beeswax, cocoa butter*, beeswax, vitamin e, peppermint essential oil * if you are allergic to cocoa butter do not use!! lemme know and i'll make one without cocoa butter for you my recipe as found taped to the side of my fridge I approximate the strange amounts. to make a very little TABLESPOONS TEASPOONS beeswax .13 .38 shea butter .17 .5 cocoa butter .17 .5 almond oil .2 .6 vitamin e 1 capsule or a few drops peppermint oil 3 drops to make a few at a time TABLESPOONS TEASPOONS beeswax .5 1.5 shea butter .66 1.98 cocoa butter .66 1.98 almond oil .8 2.4 (11.83 ml) vitamin e 2 capsules or a few drops peppermint oil 10 drops 06.23.01 additions I made a batch using this mixture - it filled the three containers you see in the last picture above TABLESPOONS TEASPOONS beeswax .25 .75 coconut oil .33 .99 shea butter .33 .99 jojoba oil .4 1.2 vitamin e 2 capsules about 4 drops peppermint oil 6 drops It came out with an interesting soft consistency, but a bit on the oily side for my taste. It shows sort of medium glossy on the lips though which is nice. Also, the beeswax separated into little beads, which don't bother me because I know what they are, however, I'd fear giving it as a gift perhaps. here . I also wrote about the bare minimum you'll need to make a few of your own lip balms for as cheap as I could get it - read here . -- update 01.11.04 I need to add that the recipes you'll find at places like Majestic Mountain Sage give the measurements for oils and waxes in weight and you should measure out your ingredients as such. I have been far too lazy to get a scale so I just used volume. Also, a most excellent conversion calculator can be found at MMS - measurement conversion calculator . This is great for when you are drastically reducing a recipe down and need to know how much 1/32nd of a tablespoon is. Note: only works in Netscape browsers, type the number you know into the apporpriate field and hit enter on your keyboard - all the other fields should fill automatically. another update 01.11.04 This recipe was sent into me by Maria , thanks! Note: measurements are by weight. Lip Balm from Denmark 5 - 6 grams of beeswax (the scale couldn't decide which one, so I'm guessing it was very close to 6 grams - it was a little more than one teaspoon of my beeswax, when it was grated) 1 teasp of shea butter 6 ml of castor oil (I read somewhere that this gives more glossy lipbalms) 6 ml of almond oil 5 drops of e-vitamin 5 drops of lemon EO It is a really great lipbalm/gloss! I didn't want to add any colour, so it came out looking yellow - I'm guessing partly because of the lemon EO. It's hard enough to have in the lipstick container - and gives a really great gloss on the lips. Oh, and it's true that lemon might not be good in very sunny weather - it makes you burn (or tan) more easily. But the shea-butter actually works as a sun screen (factor 4 european - don't know what that is in american sunproducts), so I guess it evens out. note: if you're wondering where to get the clear hinged compact container you see in these pictures see the the FAQ page. let me know and I'll post everything I receive, unless you ask me not to.

Babassu oil Moisturizes the skin. Grapeseed Oil Is very rich in essential fatty acids that help to repair the skin's moisture barrier, thus helping to restore smoothness and suppleness. Glycerin Is an effective moisturizer which helps improve softness and maximize hydration. Community Trade Information The babassu oil in many of our fragrance body lotions is a real success story. Produced by a co-operative of 12 different communities in north eastern Brazil, the oil produced by pressing the babassu kernels is harvested by women known as "babassu breakers" who use axes to crack open the nuts. Indeed, the women had to campaign for the right to collect the nuts in the first place, a success story in itself. Buoyed on by their success, and with the increased respect they gained as earners within thier communities, the women then campaigned to stop the big landowners chopping down babassu palms to graze cattle. They won. And so by helping preserve the forest, they've preserved their livelihood. Another reason why you'll feel good moisturizing with a product made from Community Trade babassu oil.

Subject: Re: Dry skin From: monroe22-ga on 14 Nov 2004 20:56 PST chocala-ga: Yes, I have a comment. You wear gloves while washingdishes. Excellent. At other times, do you wash your hands in hot waterand take hot showers? The most valuable single advice I ever received,at age 16, was this:WASH YOUR HANDS IN COLD WATER! Why? Because our primitive ancestorswere never exposed to hot water or soap...our inherited skincharacteristics do not tolerate hot water. I believe it is obvious toall that hot water washes away skin oils. Teach yourself to wash yourhands in cold water and take tepid showers. I have seen this curechapping and dry skin problems every time. Think about it: our bodieswere not evolved to tolerate hot water. Why fight nature? Your handswill be every bit as clean if you wash them in cold water. I have beenusing this practice for decades and have not yet died because of it.If this comment is wordy, it is because it is based on fact andexperience. Now, if you already use cold or tepid water, then you have a problemnot amenable to my recommendation.monroe22 Subject: Re: Dry skin From: biophysicist-ga on 15 Nov 2004 05:56 PST Regular lotion may not be strong enough for your hands. I recommendNeutrogena hand cream. It's very effective. Apply just before you goto bed. If that doesn't seem to be helping enough after a coupleweeks, try putting on some light gloves over the hand cream when yougo to bed (so it doesn't rub off or dry).Also, be sure to wear gloves whenever you go outside in the cold. Thecold air is very drying to your skin. Subject: Re: Dry skin From: mister2u-ga on 15 Nov 2004 12:11 PST I found lotions useless for my dry skin too,coal tar soap(from ahealth food store)works wonders. Subject: Re: Dry skin From: altruix-ga on 15 Nov 2004 17:31 PST Try Eucerin lotion. Subject: Re: Dry skin From: crabcakes-ga on 16 Nov 2004 10:06 PST Many of the comments are good ideas! Another idea is a wonderful handcreme, by prescription only. Vanamide, 40 percent Urea lotion, madefor Dermik Laboratories by DPT Lakewood Labs. Your dermatologist cangive you several tubes as samples to see how it works for you. It canheal dry and cracked cuticles in less than a day. Subject: Re: Dry skin From: kriswrite-ga on 16 Nov 2004 10:33 PST I find baby lotion to be the best moisturizer. It's most effectivewhen you put it on when your skin is damp.Kriswrite Subject: Re: Dry skin From: pecospearl-ga on 16 Nov 2004 15:42 PST I used to have a lot of problems with my hands peeling after I washeddishes. I found that the dish-washing soap I was using caused it. You might try changing your dish washing liquid. Subject: Re: Dry skin From: dubiousmerit-ga on 18 Nov 2004 22:01 PST Hi, I work in the shallow end of the medical field and wash my handsseveral dozen times a day. My hands were hellishly cracking, no matterwhat lotion I used, until I tried this:At night, I cover my hands with about a tablespoon of petroleum jelly,then put on a pair of those stretch "magic" acrylic gloves. They'reusually a dollar or so a pair. Over that I put a pair of largedisposable rubber gloves - your mileage may vary, but I was gettingtired of washing greasy sheets. I take the whole mess off in themorning. As long as I do this, my hands are fine - they look a littledry, but they're not cracked..It takes a tiny bit of getting used to the gloves. The first time Itried just plain cotton gloves and I kept waking up with them thrownacross the room. The cheap stretch gloves are more "form-fitting,"plus the first couple of weeks I used a pair that I'd cut thefingertips off of, like a cartoon hobo. They stayed on pretty well,then I switched to a pair of unaltered stretch gloves. No problems,except the aforementioned greasy sheets, so I added the latex gloves. I get mine from work, but you can buy rubber gloves by the box of 100fairly inexpensively.I actually like the feel of the two layers of gloves now - it keeps myhands warm at night.One thing I noticed about lotion: most of them have some kind of acidor alcohol fairly high up in the ingredients. That's why I use justplain ol' Vaseline at night, along with it not running off. I do useregular lotion throughout the day - I filled an empty hotel shampoobottle with it and keep it in my pocket - to replace lost skin oil onthe fly, especially after washing dishes or washing my hands.One last thing is to notice <i>where</i> the skin is cracking. Icouldn't figure out what I was doing to make my left index fingerchap, but then I realized that I continually dragged it against thelace when tying someone's shoes. I changed that habit and the skinhealed quickly.If you have an area of skin that is in danger but not yet broken,Curad spray bandage seems to help protect it pretty well. Or, if yourwork doesn't preclude it, just a regular bandage Subject: Re: Dry skin From: jadeaura-ga on 19 Nov 2004 17:40 PST Have you tried using coconut oil? It is a natural remedy forchapped/cracked skin. You can find it at most health food stores. Subject: Re: Dry skin From: whatsup_342-ga on 30 Dec 2004 16:11 PST I htink cocunut oil is good for skin and hair. Losing your hair? Tryusing coconut oil everyday for softer hair and skin. I think it worksbetter than conditioners and hand lotions. Subject: Re: Dry skin From: whatsup_342-ga on 30 Dec 2004 16:29 PST Well..., you can try coconut oil at least indoors for a week.How to use coconut oil: Apply coconut oil to all hair on the head byrubbing on the roots and the scalp and leave it on for the day. Washthe hair at night before sleeping so that the oil doesn't stick in thepilllows and makes a stain. It amazing to see the results after aweek. Works for skin too. Apply to skin after showering and leaveuntil it is absorbed. No washing necessary.
