In reply to Anndrea. It depends on the size of your tube. If you divide all of the ingredients by 5 though you should end up with about 1 tube.

What are the measurements for the ingredients if I want to make this for 1 tube?

Hello! I am so excited to try making these but I have one quick question – can you use the same recipe with silicone molds or will it be too soft?? Or do these have to be stored in containers? Thank you in advance!

Are these greasy like other lotion bars?

Could this also be used to make a lip balm?

Hello, thinking of sending these in the mail as a gift, do you think it would hold up okay in the mail (not melt}? Thanks so much!

Just curious if adding more beeswax to this will “harden” it a bit more, so the empty sticks are unnecessary?

Thank you so much for this recipe !
I was very short on ingredients and desperately wanted to make lipstick. Used this recipe with red clay and vitamin e oil and it came out wonderful 🙂

How do you get them not to cave in on top or have a hole indent I’m having a lot of trouble with that

In reply to Catherine. You can use Candellilla wax if looking for a vegan option. But it's harder than bee wax, so use only half the amount.

What else can I use instead of beeswax?

Hi there! Love your site and handy information. One thing I thought you might be interested in. My first encounter with a lotion bar (thought it was a great idea for those that have to travel by plane a LOT), was one bought (for way too much) at a local market while we were visiting Charleston, S.C. I have tried many, many, since and none have lived up to the effectiveness and how well it sinks in (we used it while driving back and within minutes after applying….no greasy residue on the steering wheel!!). So, looking at the ingredients of most lotion bars, they match what you have on your site. The difference in the one from Charleston? Babbasu oil! I am now going to use your methods and measurements, but their recipe to make bars for guests to our wedding (BTW since it is on the beach in May….making your sun tan oil and some other recipes for the gift baskets I am placing in the rooms:) Also am ordering ingredients to make the eczema bar for my mother in law. Sweet woman is in her mid 80’s and having the worst of it ever…lasting months (I doubt I would get much traction with a dietary change with her, but am including a print out of your article with it:)

In reply to Lisa Kelly. It should be about 5.5 ounces from what I remember...

Hi! I am so eager to try these. Someone else also asked but I did not see an answer – can you give a weight for the beeswax? I have a block of it, not pastilles. Thank you!

In reply to Ralph Corrado. Make these lotion bars, or any other lotion bars on this site, it should help!

In reply to Heidi. Just remelt it the same way you made it the first time and add more essential oil. Get white beeswax if you hate the delicious smell of natural beeswax.

In reply to Katia. White beeswax works exactly the same, with no scent or yellow color. Go ahead and use it.
