And you might want to just start your lipbalm experience with a premade base like herbalsoapbyrj.com and one of her flavor oils samplers that you can pick 3 or 4 different ones for one low price. She also sells cute see-through snappy compact containers for lip balm so you don't have to pour tubes your first time. They fit perfectly in tiny ziplock found in the craft section at Wallmart and a business card with the info on it and the lip balm fit perfectly...no labeling issues. Then if they sell, make your own, add tubes, start labeling.
I only use vanilla extract and stevia now, I used to make a lot of flavors including peanut butter cups, sold them recently for shipping to someone else on the forum. All the scents become addiciting. I got $3 for mine and sell them easily. Just remember less is more with the flavoring oil, most don't like them because they use too much. Always weigh out how much you are melting and put drops of flavoring in it so you can duplicate it exactly each time. Some will burn your lips if you put in to much, and most taste nasty with too much in them. It's the perfect project for young ones. Vicki
