I thought about using these for homemade lip balm. It will be poured in as a hot liquid and eventually harden to use. Is this product appropriate?

Yes I would let the product cool some .... I used them for something similar though the salve I made was fairly warm it was not boiling or super hot and they worked great

Honestly I felt the quailty was not all there I would not risk it with hot stuff...I used it for nail art storage

You can try to pour it into these containers; however I recommend a small funnel.

Vaseline tends to be soft, and melts at relatively low temperature. Plus, products containing a petroleum base can be a carcinogen. I use these containers to make homemade lip balm that includes bees wax, coconut oil, castor oil, almonds oil, peppermint oil and vitamin E. It is really easy to make and you can find recipes all over the internet.....just a suggestion. But, I love these containers, they work just like any store bought lip balm container. Hope that helps!!

I would not recommend it for anything other than its intended use. There is petroleum jelly in it. Much more than the beeswax. (I stumbled on this product looking for beeswax for use in homemade skin care products.)

I had no problem blending this in to liquid bees wax, shea butter and coconut oil...just put a little in at a time and stirred. Not sure why it isn't working for you.

It's pretty strong, you would only need a tiny bit for flavoring chapstick. It is also red in color and our suckers turn tongues red. So too much in a chapstick might make it a lipstick instead. :)

Personally, I would say, no. They just don't "look" like they would withstand the heat. I use them for my homemade creams and they are perfect for that. Actually, the sturdiest and best priced container I've found for this purpose.

I wouldn't unless you're just using it for candle packaging. A lit candle would melt it. I use mine for baked goods.

I may be wrong but I believe that this product is solely used as a lubricant. I would not use it on items that you intend to eat off of.

Hi. I used the recipe I found on this website ( http://www.humblebeeandme.com/intensely-moisturizing-shea-butter-lip-balm/ ) My lips aren't chapped anymore.I gave it to my friends and family and they loved it!!!!

oh I have no idea - I'm a hand cream maker. Since the oil is rather on the warm side I'd say that would work well. I just found that putting it in hand cream burned.

Don't think this is good idea because even mixing a small amount (1/2oz) could produce heat reaction..You should always use the correct harder with the correct resin.. They are all different..

I've only used it for candles. Since it is hard at room temperature, you couldn't use it in lotions or liquids. Maybe balms or lip balms. Google it.

I would not recommend using them for that. They are not as thick as the ones used for fish oil and you would need something that held together better. I believe the weight of the fish oil may cause them to come apart.

I would not. While there are no warnings against using on lips, the box does say use only on healthy skin, and lips often chap, so I think these may iritate lips. As well, some of the oils have warming effect, primarily to sooth muscles. For example, arnica, sea birch, and birch cellulite oil. The ingrediants listed are plant oils, so it is not a matter of chemicals, rather the intended purpose of these oil blends that would keep me from putting on my lips.

Its pretty rigid but if you used a strong lubricant like shortening I am sure they would come out but you candle would look like a fudgesicke with some indents on the sides which could be considered decorative I guess. So yes. If you used a spray cooking oil I would be concerned about the hot wax disolving the oil which would mean you would have to put the mold in some boiling or very hot water to loosen them. Good Luck sounds like it could be a nice project.

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 wouldn't use these for facial wax application. Some aren't totally smooth and I'd worry about splinters in my face! They are also pretty flimsy and may not hot up to the viscosity and the amt of hot wax you may use. They're really only good for coffee stir sticks or cake decoration stakes.
