Ok.... so my boss brought me in a small jar of honey and beeswax to 'play' with. I want to make some lipbalm. And i have the recipe with the beeswax, almond oil and honey. (thought it would be a nice place to start)

What kind of cantainers to you all prefer? And where can i get some? I am going to check Walmart today. But I was wondering if you buy container specific for lipbalm or do you re-purpose something I may have around the house?

Any other ideas for beeswax? I only have a small amount, but he will give me more if I can put it to good use.

Thanks
Arttie

Hi, I prefer the chapstick type container to hold the lip balm. You would probably have to order those. You can make a lotion bar out of the bees wax. There is alot of recipes out there. Have fun with it

I prefer the chapstick containers as well...but that being said, I did make some a few weeks ago & just re-used random containers that I had - I think there was 2 or 3 chapstick tubes & 2 "pots". The tubes are a bit easier for using it more often, I find, but I do like the pots. Good luck!
