Weighing Oils
Weigh all of the fixed oils into a microwave safe container. If you are using the Chocolate Bacon Wax, add that now. If you are using a liquid flavor oil, do not add it until all of the oils are fully liquid. Heat the oils gently. Use 30-60 second bursts. This prevents you from super heating your oils. Super heated oils take a while to cool and can cause burns. Your safety is of the utmost importance. Once everything is melted and you have add your flavor oil, stir well.
Weighing Oils
From here, you can either pipette the mixture into your tubes or you can use a filling tray. I like to use a filling tray because they are simple and fast. I am particulary fond of this method when I will be making 50 or more tubes of lip balm. 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.
Weighing 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. This method is great if you are planning on only doing a few lip balm tubes at a time.

Now you can give your lip balm a pretty label or put it into a cute bag. Now stick it into your stockings! Happy holidays!
