No, I just used coco powder, like you would use in hot chocolate.

Brilliant idea, and a brilliant website. Really love the design!

do you use coco extract?

Cat Morley

No, I wouldn't think vaseline is dangerous.. considering the things that it is used for. And yeah, you just use the amount of coco and vaseline that you like.

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

is vaseline dangerous if swallowed?

Kris

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.

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. :)

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!

Nicole

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

Sascha

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.

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

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

Tara

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.

Where did you get those cute containers?

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

melissa

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

melanie

Aug 27, 2006 3:21pm ago

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

Kath

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?

angie

Sep 17, 2006 6:49pm ago

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

Jen

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.

Jen

Sep 20, 2006 1:27am ago

how much coco and how much vaseline do you use?

thnks.

Gabbie

Sep 30, 2006 4:18am ago

about a tablespoon of coco..

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

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

Charlene

Cat Morley

Yes you can, I've used that type before because you can buy it in lots of different flavors.

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!

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?

Cat Morley

Cat Morley

Dec 30, 2007 11:33pm

Yeah, I think it would be thick enough!

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....
