      @@EllenRuthSoap ellen I sent you an email just a bit ago ...but as for using the syringe method I had a thought/idea pop into my head for keeping the product from solidifying while in the syringe....get a clean wash rag wet it ring it out set it in a microwavable bowl before you put it in to microwave and warm it for a minute or two let it cool for a minute take it out with a set of tongs lay it inside a ziploc bag as flat as possible close the bag up let air out and wrap the bag around the syringe tube and that should keep the product from hardening or fill a pot with water bring it to a boil grab the cloth with tongs make sure you are wearing a pair of the rubber cleaning gloves with either method but with the stove top method you'll want to have those rubber gloves handy after you pull the cloth out with the tongs,then ring the rag out and lay it flat inside the ziploc bag and wrap it around the tube and fill away!

    Ellen, I may have some amazing information to share with you! I first saw you lip balm making video a few months ago. I had suggested using a ketchup or mustard bottle for filling the tubes. The method you used today was great but I ran across something that may be life changing! Have you heard of lip balm flood trays? The one you are using would work but it would require you filling all of the holes in your silicone mold. If you have not heard of this search CZcams for it. It could make the world of difference. When you are making small batches I think your way is good but if you are going to do a whole tray I think the flood tray is the way to go. Always enjoy your videos!

    • @EllenRuthSoap

    Very helpful video, thanks for taking the time to make this. I was looking for a solution to the sinkhole problem when the liquid solidifies, that's been bugging me forever. What I had been doing was filling them up almost to the top, letting them solidify a bit(before they totally solidify) and then topping up the end bit but it's such a hassle and most of the time I end up getting those sinkholes anyway. I'm going to try a hairdryer, and if that doesn't work well I'll try your heatgun method.
    I also like the syringe method for filling them up, that looks good too!

    The syringes are called "catheter tipped syringes" in case anyone is having a hard time finding them. We use them all of the time in patient care, so many uses, great little tools. You could probably use luer lock syringes too and not have any problem with the tip clogging once the balm cools down.

    I would love to purchase one of these from you to try Ms. Ellen. Where would I go make that purchase. Not only do I want to support you as a fellow soapmaker (although I still consider myself a newbie), I'd love to try this as I would love to find a really great lip balm that I would actually like. It feels like all of the commercial ones, even Burt's Bees brand, seem to just require I put them on over and over again which I do not prefer. Excellent video, as always. Thank you so much for being so willing to share your recipes, tips, and tricks. I absolutely LOVE your channel. Tonight, I binge so I can catch up! 🤍
    Edit: I love that shea butter and it is my go to but I can't stand the bagged method. I know it's probably cheaper to sell that way, but I'd pay a few more bucks for the option to get a bucket instead of a bag. 🙂
    Edit2: Gosh I type so much. I am so sorry. I would so be your shrink wrap girl because to me, it is sooooo therapeutic. LOL!!! Now I need to go check my soaps and see if I have any ready to shrink wrap. 🤣

    Thanks Ellen, I really like lip balms/butters. That's all I put on my lips all year round. I tried your last recipe and it turned out gritty. Do you know why it would of done that?

    Hi thank you for making this lovely video. I just have one question: for some reason Shea butter irritates my lips but nothing else (I can use it everywhere but my lips) do you maybe know why this could be?

    Hi Ellen, I made this recipe and I love the way it glides on! I am running into a small problem though. After about 10-15 uses, the lip balm starts to get clumpy or chunky. Do you know why it would do this? I didn’t leave it in a car or anywhere where it could get too warm. It just sat on my office desk. Love your channel!!

    • @EllenRuthSoap
      @EllenRuthSoap  Před 11 měsíci +1
