DIY Homemade Lip Balm

I took a cold process soap making a few months ago, and this how my curiosity kicks in making a homemade bath and body, after research and nice chit chat with my classmates and instructor I got inspired and amazed how beneficial and cheap it can be, and knowing what raw ingridients commercial products puts in thier goods.   And I was surprise how easy as ABC lib balms to make, I can do only 1oz of the solution and I can fill up 6-8 lip balm tubes just enough for family members and friends to give. 

Here's my first Lip Balm project and I wanted to share it with you.  There are so many suppliers out there but I usually bought my supplies from http://www.thesage.com/, I found about this website from http://www.marthastewart.com/ and from my cold process soap class instructor.  Their price is very competitive to compare with the other suppliers, they have good customer service, good quality, and they ship fast too.  But find local suppliers around your area if you can so that can save more on your shipping.
