Chocolate Lip Balm, Day One

Filed Under: Lip Products

Sunday was a busy day at our home. Chris painted a new bathroom cabinet while I tried to create a workable chocolate lip balm. Here’s what I started with:
Jojoba Oil
Beeswax white 
Beeswax yellow 
Beeswax yellow prills
twist up tubes 
chapstick tubes 
daisy pots
lip safe mica (for shimmer)
Chocolate, chocolate and more chocolate
plenty of paper towels
lots of disposable spoons & knives
measuring spoons
droppers
heat safe containers

I had basic Hershey’s, bittersweet baking chocolate, Vivian chocolate and Green & Blacks Organic chocolate. Both the Vivian and Green & Blacks have very high cocoa content (above 70%). I expected those two to have a very strong, potent flavor. Just for fun, I had a few extra bars of White Chocolate and Dark Orange Chocolate. Sadly, I did not end up using those but maybe I can try those another day.

The final tool used for this project is frozen knives. They are used to test individual batches in a very quick and easy manner. You’ll learn more about that in a future post this week.

This week’s posts will focus on making chocolate lip balm, with real chocolate for flavor. The final results turned out marvelous.

  1. The bathroom cabinet is looking great but it definitely needs another coat of paint. It was a beautiful periwinkle purple so every time the cabinet is opened, there’s a nice flash of completely-clashing periwinkle! =)

    My hubby is great. I’m a lucky chick.

  2. Anne-Marie~ Hope the bathroom turned out! Fresh paint can do wonders for decorating. What a sweetie for doing it…and as far as the chocolate lip balm-give me a week to work out before I start!
