do you use coco extract?

Jul 12, 2006 2:33am ago

Are you just doing this by feel/taste or do you use X amount of this and Y amount of that?

Jul 12, 2006 2:33am ago

is vaseline dangerous if swallowed?

Jul 12, 2006 4:22am ago

I'm pretty sure Vaseline isn't dangerous. Petroleum jelly is usually an ingrediant good moisturizing lip balms... I think it is also sometimes used for burns.

Jul 12, 2006 1:16pm ago

Petrolium jelly is drying to the body, consider beeswax with a touch of almond oil, add what ever flavour you care to, mint, cocoa, whatever. Just another possibility and healthier for your skin. :)

Jul 13, 2006 11:32pm ago

Yum! I just made some of this. I used one of those plastic containers you get chinese in to melt the vaseline so I could throw it away after!

Jul 16, 2006 10:45pm ago

I have instant cappuchino mix... it's similar to hot cocoa mix... I think I'll try it with that!

Jul 16, 2006 10:45pm ago

Kris: Vaseline should never be used for burns. Post trauma burn treatment should be with specialist creams, many of which actually contain Silver Oxide! No grease or oil should ever be used.

Jul 21, 2006 3:18pm ago

This sounds great. Has anyone road tested this? Namely, what color are your lips when you put this on?

Aug 17, 2006 5:19pm ago

You could also try coconut oil mixed with beeswax. That way you could get away from the petr chemicals.

Aug 19, 2006 12:09am ago

Great Idea!!!

I used some Betty Boop Pink Hot Chocolate mix for it instead of the conventional chocolate and it turned out to be pretty cool. If you want to know what color it will make your lips just put some powder on your wet lips and it gives you a pretty good idea.

Aug 21, 2006 1:15pm ago

Where did you get those cute containers?

Aug 22, 2006 2:21am ago

I used little beer botle caps and they work realy well!

Aug 23, 2006 12:02am ago

very cute, I can almost smell the cocoa from here! And it's a great use for old lip gloss containers, too...

Aug 27, 2006 3:21pm ago

i wonder if you could substitute coconut oil for the petroleum jelly?

Sep 16, 2006 3:03am ago

By "coco", do you mean cocoa powder - the pure kind used for baking - or instant chocolate drink powder or something else entirely?

Sep 17, 2006 6:49pm ago

this is so simple and easy.. this could make great little christmas presents!

Sep 17, 2006 6:49pm ago

You definitely shouldn't use vaseline for burns.
I believe vaseline holds in heat, which would be highlt uncomfortable.

Sep 20, 2006 1:27am ago

how much coco and how much vaseline do you use?

thnks.

Sep 30, 2006 4:18am ago

about a tablespoon of coco..

Sep 30, 2006 11:20pm ago

Great idea! Now try it with coconut oil! Liquifies when warm but tastes great and is much better for you and the planet.

Oct 24, 2006 9:54pm ago

Where did you find those adorable containers? What a great little project!

Nov 3, 2006 6:36pm ago

this stuff is great , its yummy and it feels gr8

Nov 8, 2006 11:05am ago

I'll have to try the chocolate lip balms with coco. I normally use grated chocolate. Ohhh and where do people get their tubs from. xxx

Dec 8, 2006 6:03pm ago

Hii Great Idea =]
Where Do You Get The Containers To Put It In?

Dec 28, 2006 5:39am

Try using those little mini jam containers that you might get at a hotel or restaurant!!!!!!!

Jan 3, 2007 3:18am ago

try ebay, i just had a quick look and they have some containers on there :) try lip balm.....pots, tubs, containers etc. hope that helps.

Jan 16, 2007 1:03pm ago

It would be great if you could find a way to make this without using petroleum products. :-(

Feb 21, 2007 3:26pm ago

HEY!! THATS REAL NEAT!!!

Feb 28, 2007 2:36pm ago

fab website... i run a ranger unit (think girl guides!) and this should be really helpful! thanks! xxx

Mar 3, 2007 2:12pm ago

Is there any way that i could substitute the cocoa with an essence? wouldn't it be a too runny and not set properly?

Mar 25, 2007 2:34pm ago

Wow, that's so cool and it's so easy to gather the ingredients. By the way, i luv your space, please continue to add more DIY recipes! Actually...i think i'll add this website into my Bookmarks.
Luv ya, and good luck on your space!

Apr 23, 2007 1:22pm ago

omg THIS IS AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Apr 28, 2007 1:47pm ago

I got my containers from a cosmetics container supply company. Just ask for some samples of their products and they'll send you some for free. ;)

May 7, 2007 1:30am ago

you would hafta have sugar in ur cocoa powder though, right? I mean, it would taste strange with just cocoa...

May 7, 2007 2:06am ago

so cool my friends loved it

May 8, 2007 5:59pm ago

This is really cool I like it.

May 8, 2007 7:08pm ago

were could you buy petorleum jelly

May 23, 2007 2:35pm ago

this is awsome

Jun 27, 2007 11:16pm ago

this is a great idea, i love it, im going to try it, for me and my friends, thanxx!!!!!!

Sep 20, 2007 3:08pm

OMG coconut oil was awesome! It gives it a realy cool scent. I used a dash of splenda (sweetener) with the coco powder. It came out great too

Oct 17, 2007 7:47pm

You can get those little containers at the dollar store in the bead or craft section.

Nov 13, 2007 1:08am

I lurvve this!!! I would like to ask you can you use the coco powder that you buy in packets for just add water hot chocolate?

Nov 23, 2007 9:42pm

I just made some and am waiting for it to set. I had a thought while I was using my belgian chocolate and mint coco powder, could you also use those nesquik milkshake powders to get a strawberry or banana flavour? It would be yummy!

Dec 1, 2007 6:09am

I just made some of these and they are so yummers! I had been wanting to make them for a really long time now but couln't find small containers. I found some today and now I have my own lipgloss and some to give at Christmas!

Dec 2, 2007 3:57pm

I love this! I used a fizzy drink mix so it always tingles when you aply it! mmmm.......

Dec 18, 2007 3:14am

sweet...i always wanted to make mayo flavoured lip balm

jk

keep up the greatness

Dec 23, 2007 2:31pm

Mmm, it smells so good :)
Thanks so much! ^o^

Dec 30, 2007 10:50pm

I think this recipe would be even better if you added just a little bit of sugar to the mix! Also, it's actually pretty easy to find some empty clear lip balm tubes, is the balm of a thick enough consistancy to maintain a "stick" shape if it's dialed out of a lip balm tube?

Jan 27, 2008 11:28pm

if vaseline was dangerous to swallow they wouldnt sell it in special little tins for people to use as lipbalms now would they?

I cant wait to make some, i just have to get some pots....

Mar 18, 2008 3:36pm

I love it! Where do you get the jars for the stuff?? I've always wanted to know.

May 4, 2008 10:57am

sweet! I'd like to try that some time. If I add sugar would it taste sweet?
