If you look up websites for wedding or party favours, a lot of times they have a whole bunch of really unique mint tins that I have thought about using for balms and solid perfumes.

Thank you, this has been the most helpful response. :)

Sorry, I should have mentioned -- I am vegan, I don't use honey or beeswax. Thank you for the lotion recipes, but I really want to make a flavoured body powder. I personally love wearing body powder and I like my skin to smell/taste good. Any sweet body powder recipe with no honey? Is...

What kind of powder base is edible for an edible body powder? The suppliers' websites supply so little information about the safety of their powder bases. EDIT: I am looking for VEGAN ingredients -- nothing with honey powder, beeswax, or buttermilk powder.

Thank you, Irish Lass. That is all very helpful. I thought have read the stearic acid is an emulsifyer, but I I must have been reading that it is an emollient. I still haven't decided what I want to do... adding some rosewater and glycerine would really give the texture I want, but it means...

Rest, water, and time. Those are the three things that have been most effective for me. Also, exfoliation. You might incorporate cocoa butter into your serum. Several scar-fading products contain cocoa butter, and it is used very commonly to fade stretch marks... if it's good enough for...

I have experimented with some different body butter recipes that are totally butter/oil based, but I find they are too greasy no matter what, even when I add wax and corn starch. I am not used to adding water-based ingredients to my stuff because that means adding lots more ingredients to...

Ok, after all this I added a tiny bit of candelilla wax and you were absolutely right. It is PERFECT now. Thank you SO much for telling me about the soy wax. I think this balm actually benefits from having both soy wax and candelilla. I went half and half and I love it so much. I'll leave...

I just realized I have about 1 cup of soy wax left from the balms I used to make. I currently have 2 cups of mushy lip balm base. I am thinking about adding 1/4 cup of candelilla wax and seeing if it firms up. I am keeping good track of the ratios as I work with it so that I can reproduce it...

Thank you for responding. I am making vegan products so I am not using bee's wax. I have used candelilla wax in the past and found it was too hard and it coloured my balms too strongly. I may have to switch back, but I was hoping not to lose this soy wax batch. I have seen recipes for balms...

I am so glad I found this forum. I have always made lip balms in pots but I have decided to switch to oval tubes for lots of reasons that I think are very practical. I am having the worst time with this. NOTHING is working and I have gone through so many supplies already. My previous lip...
