Fairy Floss Lip Balm Recipe

This is a yummy, quick and easy Lip Balm that is included in our trio Fairy Floss Set.

I do not normally use our microwave safe 100g Lip Balm containers that the balm is packed in straight into the microwave, but as I knew I wanted 10 – 12 pots it saves on washing up!  The quantity you make depends on how full you make the pots.  This balm is quite firm as I have not added any extra liquid oil – basically it’s Western Australia, it’s summer, so this is going to be a whole lot softer until we reach next autumn.

PLEASE USE GREAT CAUTION IF YOU ARE melting the balm this way, if in doubt place the balm into a jug as usual.

This tutorial is also on a single page together with the Fairy Floss Melt and Pour Soap Tutorial and Fairy Floss Single Use Sugar Scrub Cubes. 

What you need:

• 100g Lip Balm Base (I used Nourishing, Vegan)
• 2 - 3ml Cotton Candy Lip Flavour - to taste
• 2 - 3ml Sweet Lips Sweetener - to taste
• 1/8 teaspoon Loganberry Mica
• Pink Macaron Lip Pots
• Pipette or dropper
• 2 small coffee stirrers or similar
• Thermometer is handy, but not essential

Tip:  Testing for taste is really important!  I use the “toffee” method, ie a cold metal spoon, drip one or two drops of lip balm onto the cold spoon, check it’s cool to touch, and then have a taste.  You’ll know if you prefer a little more flavour and sweetener and adjust to your preference.

Instructions:

• Remove the lid from the tub of lip balm and place in microwave on medium/high and melt in bursts of 30 seconds, take care not to over heat it.  If you have a thermometer I like to melt to 75°C and pour at 70°C or just below.
• Once you see there is only a small piece of balm floating in the liquid, remove from the heat and gently stir until this melts.
• Now add the Lip Safe Mica, and stir to ensure there are no dry spots.

• Add 10 drops each of Sweet Lips Sweetener and Cotton Candy Flavour and stir well.  If the balm is cooling and the oils begin setting up, just give it a gentle re-melt in the microwave for 10 seconds.

• Pour time!  If you are using the original container, you can actually give it a GENTLE squeeze to form a bit of a lip, and then pour directly into the lip pots.  I like mine filled just shy of the rim.

• Allow to set up, put on the lids, label or bag, and you are done!
