how long are these good for?

[mountainroseherbs]

@piccolo3431 These should stay good for at least a year. The essential oils help preserve them, but you can add some vit e oil as well. ~ Erin

Just wanted to express appreciation for showing the general population an easy, fun, and rewarding way to make our own beauty and medicinal products. Very nice demo :)

@elizabethannshapiro Essential oils are concentrated, so a little goes a long way. I would use 5 to 10 drops for every 10 tubes of balm. Hope this helps and sorry for the delay! ~ Erin

Do you have a lip balm recipe that does not call for beeswax? I'm allergic to all products that have to do with bees. And I'm not too crazy about vaseline. Than kyou.

Great video.

@marjs29 You can try using oils that are solid at room temoperature like coconut oil and cocoa butter. Their are other veggie based waxes that may work as well like carnuba and candelilla. You can find them on our website. Thank you! ~ Erin
