How to Melt & Pour Your Lip Balm: Step-by-Step Guide

Making your lip balm is incredibly easy. Just follow these steps:

What You’ll Need
  • Melt & Pour Lip Balm Base

  • Optional: Flavour oils

  • Lip balm containers (tubes, tins, or pots)

  • Heat-safe jug or double boiler

  • Stirring spoon or spatula

  • Dropper or small pouring jug

Step 1: Prepare Your Workspace

Lay out your cleaned, ready-to-fill containers.
Keep everything within reach—it makes the filling process much smoother.

Step 2: Melt the Lip Balm Base

Use either method:

Double Boiler Method:

  1. Place the lip balm base in a heat-safe bowl.

  2. Set the bowl over a pot of simmering water.

  3. Stir gently until fully melted and smooth.

Microwave Method:
  1. Place the base in a microwave-safe jug.

  2. Heat in short 10–15 second intervals.

  3. Stir between intervals until fully melted.

(Avoid overheating to maintain the texture.)

Step 3: Add Flavour (Optional)

Once the mixture is melted:

  • Add your chosen flavour oil (usually 1–3%, depending on the strength).

  • Stir thoroughly to ensure even distribution.

Step 4: Pour Into Containers

Using a small jug or dropper:

  • Carefully pour the warm liquid into your containers.

  • Leave a little space at the top for a clean finish.

  • If the mixture cools or thickens, simply re-warm it gently.

Step 5: Cool & Set

Allow the filled containers to sit undisturbed until fully firm.
Once set, cap your containers—and your lip balm is ready to label, gift, or sell!
