I pieced 2 and 2 together..kinda. Do people use this for deodorant and lip balm? It says people usually get this with empty balm and deo containers.

I would not use these butters for a deodorant because it would probably stain your clothes and make your feel sticky. If you're looking for natural deodorant, apply a little bit of baking soda after your shower while your underarms are still moist. Yes, the butters make a nice lip balm.

Do not use it for deodorant. I whipped it and rubbed it on the pads of my Greyhounds feet as they were hardening on the edges and it was recommended to me. Then I started using it on my feet and my hands........especially during winter. (Use it at night and wear socks) A little goes a long way so use just a little as it is easier to get more than less.

I use 1 part beeswax, 1 part coconut oil, 1/2 part shea butter, and 1/2 part cocoa butter, plus a little arrowroot starch and baking soda and essential oils and make a deodorant. it works great. I added the beeswax because the other ingredients were too soft at room temp in my warm house. The beeswax makes the finished product solid at room temp, but it melts easily with body heat. I haven't noticed any staining on my clothes, and it works great. I also use a similar mixture, minus the arrowroot and baking soda as a lip balm.

I wouldn't use shea butter for deodorant; here's a simple deodorant recipe: 3 Tbsp. coconut oil, 2 Tbsp. beeswax, 2 Tbsp. baking soda, 2 Tbsp. arrowroot, 1/8 tsp. tea tree essential oil, 1/8 tsp. lavendar or rosemary essential oil. Melt beeswax and coconut oil over double boiler over low heat; whisk in baking soda and arrowroot powder. Remove from heat and stir in essential oils (for a feminiine scent use tea tree, lavendar, sweet lime, and ylang ylang; for a more masculine smell use tea tree, cedar and sandalwood). Pour into deodorant container and leave uncapped for 24 hours, or til it's cool; then cap. This should make enough for one stick of deodorant.

I use it for deodorant actually. It doesn't stain like beeswax. However, if you use too much in your deodorant recipe, it will make your armpits squishy a little bit until the shea butter soaks into your skin.

Shea butter has been known to be used in soaps and lip blam. I use it on my crack hands and it creates a barrier to help it heal a little. I don't know about using it in deodorant. You might have to do some research on that.

I do not use for deodorant, but try it. Definitely use for lip balm and total body rub, especially for extra dry area's. To add a extra zing, use pure scented oils of your choice. Put in the microwave for 2 to 3 minutes to soften then stir in your scented oil. Keep lid on securely after that to protect the scented shea butter.

The same happened to me when i first got it. I was so dissapointed because is so expensive. And is like u say half bottle. But when u really start using it u realize that is worth it. U literally pass just once underarms and done. I just bought the 4 pack. And still have the 1st i bought because u really dont need to put a lot so it will last long. I swear i use to sweet so bad it didnt matter if it was cold or hot it was discusting. But thanks to maxim im really dry. I cant belive how good it is. I hope this helps.

I stored the first bag with the dessicant in a half gallon glass canning jar with a tight fitting lid. As the instructions said the dessicant was reusable, and included instructions for how to re-activate it if necessary, I just saved it in the jar for my second bag. All 1,000 capsules from the first bag came through the machine perfectly. I just ordered my second bag, and you are right...there was no dessicant in the second bag. Maybe they only add it to your first order? I have not tried using any from the second bag yet, but I will update if it is not the same quality as the first bag.

I mainly use this in recipes, my favorite being in lip balm. You can also use it to make soap and in body moisturizers. If you do a web search you'll find tons of recipes.

I used two with no cutting the tracks with little leave out so ill say two bundles depending on your head size. Mines were very thin so you will have to do them close. All depends on what kind of hair you get how thick it is but mine's was very thin especially when wet I could see right through it

I use it sporadically after the initial 7 nights and my skin will burn slightly if I use more than I need. The stuff works great but our bodies are different, so use it as needed comfortably. I do apply deodorant as well just for the scent and piece of mind but sparingly.

I would say "no". I have used these for a homemade solid deodorant. While the mixture was still liquid (waiting to solidify), the coconut oil component tended to leak out the bottom. I had to refrigerate them to prevent this. However, I imagine it would depend on the ingredients and the mixture's consistency.

Yes! I have used it to make lotion, lotion bars, and lip balm. Love it! It does have a rich chocolate scent that is impossible to cover, so don't try. Use Shea butter instead. But the chocolate scent works really well combined with peppermint or orange. Basic recipe is equal parts butter (Shea or Cocoa) and an oil (coconut, olive) with beeswax (amount determines how firm the product will be). Best way to test a recipe is to start with small amounts, place ingredients in a small jelly jar, and heat in a pan of water until everything melts. Remove from heat, let sit for a few minutes and then stir in essentials oils if using. The jar becomes your storage container, so you don't have any cleanup.

Yes, it's fabulous as a lip balm! I use it everynight to moisturize my lips. During the day I usually wear lipstick when I'm not at home. But when I am home doing chores around the house I usually use the Rosebud Salve. I keep one tin by my bed, one by my tv chair and one by the bathroom sink. NOT a fan of the other "flavors" though-their scents are too strong and not as subtle as the original Rosebud. I usually buy 3 or 4 tins at a time so I don't run out.

I have not used this product for lip balm. I believe that, you should be able to do it by weight. Most of the sources that I checked don't really give an amount. It is sort of a trial and error thing. Make sure to allow for significant thickening as it cools. Good luck.....eventually, I do plan to try this.

Yes they'll be great for the creams and balms. I use some of the jars for same purposes and never have a leakage etc. problem. The lid is wide so it's easy to use too!

Hi Blanca: I have not used it yet but will let you know when I do. I have some wax that is not in a block but thinking of filling it ankle high. If you are the only one using it you can reuse the wax a few times.

It easily held 2 plus lip balm. It could probably hold 4, but be pretty full.

I honestly don't use them together. I use the small one more. When I got it, they were nicely packed together, so I guess the answer to your question is yes. I hope that I was able to help.

Sorry for the delay in answering. I love this product! You can do it either way with great results, make it a thin mask or make it thick it works and your skin feels silky afterwards, so try it in different ways to suit yourself. I order this all the time, and usually 3 jars at a time, just so I don't run out. Great product!

It is good for light weight stuff like buttons and sewing stuff but small sized items can fit well but i don't think stuff like make up eye powder and lip stick will do well in this type of container. You can try to see if you would like to put the stuff in it! It is quite sturdy!
