Lip Balm - Soft Honey
1 Tbs Vaseline or petroleum jelly
1/3 Tsp honeySmall container
This basic recipe makes a very soft sweet honey lip balm which will nourish your lips and leave them shiny.
First you put the Vaseline and honey in a small microwavable container and microwave until melted. You can also use a double boiler method to melt down the vaseline.
Mix well and pour into pots allow to cool before use.
Insure all containers are sterile by boiling them to prevent contamination of your lip loss.
If you wish to dye this balm you can use a cosmetic coloring available from home made body product supply stores. You can also use a small amount of store bought lipstick to tint the balm.
Alternatively you can also use colored beeswax or candle dye as it is being used in such a small quantity it will not stain or harm your skin.

could u add flav
o and how much huney u add??

3 star b4 i try it
FYI Vaseline (because it's made of petroleum) dries lips/skin out, so you have to keep re-applying it. Better to use something natural like jojoba oil.
This is awesome im so gonna make this! ;)
that recipse is cool.But you can add a coconut oil.it will make the lip balm softer! i've tried! so cooooool!!
but just add a bit or it will be a "LIP GLOSS" :)
when does it say to use chocolate in the recipe, and how many seconds do we microwave it cause im not very good with approximation
how many seconds do you microwave it??
so cool im giving some to my friends! thanks!!! so
this stuff smells yumm
This is a really cool recipe. U can add things to it too like body glitter or smashed eyeshadow. I tried and it great!
this is amazing! i was making it with my sis and we had so much fun
O.M.G!this is such an eazy recipe!my lips are really bad in winter and if i try to smile they crack and bleed.my lips are hailing this recipe!lol.thnx pplz
Awesome! :)
For everyone that asked, petroleum jelly is just a softer chap stick, and you can substitute it with vaseline.
its easy to create nice lip balm!!!
soo cool!!
Very easy! yet wonderful!
I tried it, but the honey just kinda lumped together and the vaseline was just normal vaseline. Did I do something wrong??
totes easy!
super easy!
does this work well...i'm worried it won't work after i spend this money!!! any help?!
Seriously ppl just calm down!!! No need to put it in the freezer or anything... just follow the directions... lol...:):P:D
Havn't tried it yet but it looks really cool! My lips get chapped easily so this might be good!
too gud will try it
Nice. That looks very easy. Uhm, we can substitute petroleum jelly for vaseline, right?
tx
Is vaseline the same as using chapstick?
good
this is great! no more sticky balm!
i didnt like this.
I LOVED IT!
I tried it but the honey kept falling to the bottom and the vaseline layed on top. But, I gave it another try and it worked out fantastic!
It was easy. I discovered if you just mix the ingredients together it makes a facial.
sounds easy and fun. I am looking forward to trying it :)
it smelt a bit funny when we were making it but really easy to make!
This loooked strange when it was drying. So we added our own ingrediants and now its looks and works very well!
This is a simple and easy way to make lipbalm
SO simple!
i love this recipe its so easy
It's a great relief to finally have a lip balm that does not include beeswax! It's such a pain to get. i didn't even have to go shopping for these ingredients and the balm works great! Thnx!!!!!
I'm making it for my sister-in-law for christmas.
love the recipe! i tryd it and it worked really well!!!!
Hi anyone here because I would like to know if I can use instead of honey pepermint oil or lavender oil?
Is vaseline like putroluim jelly? Can I use that?
I tried this but the honey kept separating from the vaseline......any ideas on that?
It's good because it quite simple!! i am going to do it for sure!!!
I tried this and it worked very well for me. Great idea.
I really liked it! It's simple to make and works really well.
Super yum! I also made one for my bff
have to agree that perhaps an older pot would be handy. I have a set of saucepans just for craft, you can pick up cheap ones at discount stores or purchase new ones for the kitchen and use your old ones for craft.
How would it work if you used butterscotch chips or white chocolate chips in substitution for the chocolate chips?
cool
does this need to be used in a certain amount of time? will it go bad?
i don't know how u ppl managed to make this, but the vaseline doesn't wash off the container that i melted it in, nor does it wash off my hand.
It doesnt say to put it in the freezer.. So Dont! go by the instructions not the comments and no its not crucial its in an airtight container.
does it need to be in an airtight container?
so are you supposed to put it in the freezer?
whoever said then you put it in the freezer? I had the same problem!!! but then just let it wait 4 5-15 min. and it is like storebought! I LOVED IT!!!
then you put it in the freezer?
If yours "stinks" you either dont like chocolate or you may have scorched the vasaline. Try one of the other scented lip balm recipes
I tried this and well, I ended up with a stinky ending. I eyed out the directions word to word, but it reaally stinked. I'll give it and Average 3 stars for the effort.
I think It would be awesome to make! Great Idea!
