Step 1: Prepare the Lip Balm Base
  1. Measure 1 oz of Natural Lip Balm Base using a glass measuring cup.
  2. Melt the base in the microwave for 30 seconds at a time, stirring gently between intervals until fully melted.
Step 2: Add Flavor and Sweetener
  1. Add 6-18 drops of Sugared Strawberries Flavor Oil (1-3% depending on preference) using a disposable pipette.
  2. Optionally, add 2% sweetener, stirring to fully incorporate.
Step 3: Fill the Tins
  1. Place a small heart-shaped cookie cutter in the center of each lip balm tin.
  2. Use a clean pipette to fill the tins with the melted base, being careful not to disturb the cutter.
  3. Let the balm harden completely before removing the cutter.
Step 4: Add the Heart
  1. Melt 1 oz of Natural Lip Balm Base, following the same process as before.
  2. Add 2 drops of Rose Blush Lip Balm Tint and stir thoroughly.
  3. Use a pipette to fill the heart-shaped cavity in each tin, ensuring it’s level with the rest of the balm.
  4. Allow the balm to set completely before placing the lids on the tins.

Additional Tips and Ideas

  1. Customization: Experiment with different flavors and tints to create a variety of heart-shaped lip balms. For example, use mint flavor and a green tint for a refreshing twist or vanilla with a creamy color for a classic option.
  2. Gift Ideas: These heart lip balms make perfect party favors, wedding gifts, or stocking stuffers. Customize the colors and flavors to match the theme of your event.
  3. Troubleshooting: If the lip balm doesn’t come out smoothly, try reheating it slightly with a heat gun or hairdryer and smoothing the surface with a spatula.

FAQs

1. How long does it take for the heart lip balm to set?
  • The lip balm typically sets in 2-3 hours, but it’s best to leave it overnight to ensure it's fully hardened.
2. Can I use other cookie cutter shapes?
  • Yes, you can use different shapes, but ensure they fit within the lip balm tin and create a tight seal to prevent the balm from seeping underneath.
3. Is it necessary to add sweetener to the lip balm?
  • No, sweetener is optional. It’s mainly added for flavor enhancement, but the lip balm will work fine without it.
4. How do I prevent the heart from cracking when removing the cutter?
  • Ensure the balm is completely hardened before removing the cutter. If it’s still soft, leave it to set longer.
5. Can I use any lip balm base?
  • It’s recommended to use a natural lip balm base, as it’s designed for easy melting and setting, ensuring a smooth finish.
These heart-shaped lip balms are a delightful way to show someone you care. Customize them to your heart's content and enjoy the creative process!
