Wonderful 🥰
Can't wait to make it, thank you!
Wow lovely and most important part how to prevent dent. Thank you so much for very useful information loved ❤
For US folks, you can get high-menthol peppermint oil from Bulk Apothecary. It's the "Japan" variety. "Supreme" has less menthol and a more herb-y scent. Both are nice, but Japan is the one that'll give you the icy sensation.
Thank the lord for this recipe!
I include lanolin and emu oil in my lip balms. They are oh so creamy. I bet this one is too. Thanks Marie, I love tuning in to your channel.
Did you tho? It's Burt's ,they can produce on a scale you can't.
Yay u back. Did i miss your formulations or what!
thanks for another excellent tutorial! Cant wait to try this one out
marie ppl are duping a sugar scrub like tree hut' s consistancy ive look ay the ingre but cant fig out what thier using to make it like sillt putty consistancy its all over fb can you help
Tyvm 😊 I get excited when I see you you’ve posted
Can we bring any colour in it? If we need light color in it what should be added and how percent?
Can you omit the peppermint?
Thanks for the detailed explanation! It was super interesting 😊
Ooooh lovely. I'm almost out of my tubed lipbalm. This is going to be the replacement.
Thanks for sharing 🙂
Thank you ❤️
yay!!! this i definitely have to try. thanks marie!
Where can I find the vitamin E-MT 50
Thank you for sharing your recipe. I just joined your Patreon. It is mostly because I appreciate the generosity of people. Knowing that you have a Patreon account you didn't have to share a recipe. I think it is very kind and generous to still share with people who choose not to join Patreon. I look forward to continuing to learn from you!
Great formula!
Boots makes the best mint lip balm! Please make a formulation for that!!!???!!!
Hi there, thanks enjoyed this vid, I want to ask you if you can let me know if you add mica to your lip balm and use a lip balm pot how do you prevent the mica from sinking to the bottom? thank you. x Candice.
Thank you so much for sharing it I can’t wait for making it 🙏💗💗
Thanks for the tutorial! Can you recommend a substitution for lanolin ( for a vegan variation of the product)?
Thank you Marie. I enjoy learning from you. I have joined your Patreon Page.
Hello, I love your dupe videos and was wondering if you could dupe a face cream for dry skin that won't clog pores. Maybe something like a dupe for the Skinfix Barrier+ Triple Lipid-Peptide Face Cream?
I can’t be the only one who thinks the little divots in lip balm are cute- like dimples.
I loved hearing this!!!! Thanks for sharing this recipe!
Love that you are around Manitoba!
Awesome video!! Thank you!! I will try this for sure!! I was wondering what tweak you’d make to create the pomegranate version of Burt’s Bees lip balm!! That’s my hands down favorite lip balm of all time!! Thx in advance!!
Where did you get those tubes so cheap? I tried finding them but the most cheap one is around €0,50 (0,70 canadian dollars) without shipping from Dutch suppliers (I live in the netherlands). Though still cheaper than most lipbalms out there
My favorite homemade lip balm is just beeswax and tallow with a little tocopherol but I’m going to try this one for sure. My more veg balms haven’t turned out the best in texture.
Lovely dupe Marie! That was fun and satisfying to watch. Breaking down a favorite formulation (especially retired favorites) is a lot of fun. I will have to try this one. I can NEVER have too many lippy lip balms. Cheers! Jen
Awesome!!!! Thank you so much, perfectly timed too. Sometimes it feels impossible to keep parts moisturized this time of year. Very excited to try this lip balm ☮️💟
really a very precious recipe .I will want to make this special as soon as .i cant wait more for your this lovely gifting recipe.Thankyou my dear …💝
I have made so many times lip balm but everytime it turns out little bit hard so what's the reason behind it did im using more, beeswax or shea butter pls reply
I made this with my student for a math project (weights and measuring). She thought it turned out great (and it did). Thanks so much for sharing.
I've tried every lip balm on the market & always return to Burt's Bees. I even broke down & tried Beekman Brothers Pure Goats Milk & it doesn't hold a candle to Burt's Bees.
Excellent! I like it!
Excellent Recipe. My lip balms turned out great. Thank you!
