Love Notes Lip Balm
I am a hopeless romantic. Seeing pictures of flowers and hearing plans for candlelit dinners put stars in my eyes. That being said, I think one of the most romantic things ever are love letters. The thought of a billet-doux just sends me sighing longingly. With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, I wanted to celebrate with all of the romantics out there with a Love Notes Lip Balm. Come join me and we can share stories of the little things that make our hearts go pitter-patter.
Finished Lip Balm
I love how creamy and flavorful this lip balm is. While I did tint the lip balm a soft satin pink color, I think this is a great lip balm for both men and women. It is sweet, fruity and easy to apply. Yummy!

Weighing Oils
Weigh all of the ingredients except for the Strawberry Swirl Flavor Oil and the Ruby Lip Balm Color into a microwave safe container. Heat in 30 second increments until everything has melted. If the beeswax is being stubborn, remove the mixture from the microwave and stir well. This often will allow the beeswax to melt from the heat of the other oils. Once the oils have completely melted, add the Strawberry Swirl Flavor Oil and Ruby Lip Balm Color. Stir well.
Adding Almond Butter
From here, you can either pipette the mixture into your tubes or you can use a filling tray. I like using a filling tray because they are simple and fast. I can make several hundred lip balms in the time it would take me to make 100 by hand. If you are using a filling tray, insert your tubes into your tray. Flood the tray with your melted lip balm. Allow the mixture to cool. Scrape off the excess. I like to use a plastic putty knife. Remove the tubes from the tray and cap.
Adding Beeswax
If you are going to pipette the lip balm into the tubes, fill the tube until you get a dome of liquid material at the top. Wax shrinks when it cools and doing this helps insure that you get a very pretty top. Fill all of your tubes making sure they are domed on the top before they cool. (You may need to reheat your jar of lip solutions during this process. This is normal and to be expected.) Allow the tubes to cool and cap.
Heated Lip Balm
Now you can give your lip balm a pretty label or put it into a cute bag. Enjoy this great lip balm or give as gifts!
