In reply to Ria. I can't tell you specifically, but more wax will make it more resistant to melting. Olive oil would make it more likely to melt, in my opinion, because it is liquid already at room temperature. You can always add a tiny bit of cocoa butter to harden it up a bit more.

I must say this page is very very informative, as I am a novice in making DIY lipcare.
In INDIA, ambient temperature rises upto 40-42C in summer, so coconut oil melts in our room temperature in Summer. So if I wish to make my own lip balm at home what should be my wax to oil ratio so that it doesn’t melt in room temperature. and what if I wish to add some more olive oil too (and sometimes may be little Vitamin E oil too) in that mixture?

In reply to Susie. I have been experimenting with beet root powder as a lip balm tint, but every batch is grainy, even if I heat and stir for 15-20 minutes! After several wasted batches, I did some more research, and dried beet root powder is not soluble in oil~! I am going to try again using freeze dried raspberries, grinding them in the coffee grinder to fine powder, but the first batch is heating now, and the seeds are not dissolving. I have brought out my cheesecloth to see if I can strain the particles before pouring into my tubes for lip balm. FYI for 25-50 SPF, try organic red raspberry seed oil. I use 3/4 tsp for 8 tubes (I have learned to make half batches to lessen the waste until the right recipe is reached)!

You have to pre-mix the beet root with something to refine it or something, it will not blend in the oils. It clumps. Tried it 3 times. annoying

In reply to Jennifer. I'm not sure how, you could certainly try to infuse an oil with it, but I don't know how well it would work.

How do you think I can make lip balm with wine sediment?
