Mine partially dissolved, but there were still some particles - you can see them in the image if you look close enough. I tried using a dried juice mix with the first batch and that just solidified, and in my second batch I tried concentrate juice and it didn't meld with the oil (just floated on the top). In comparison the Jello was a smashing success, but if you think of something better let me know! I'd love to hear how yours turns out! Pam, I should have said something about that.

I got the plain wax from a craft supply store, in the candle-making section. I had a block leftover from when we made candles. The store also had beeswax which sounds even better in lip balm, but I used plain wax as that's what I had on hand. In regards to the vit E. I dumped the capsules into the melted oil. I tried taking pictures, but as my sauce pan is black it just looked like, wel, a black pan filled with water. Sorry. Hope those helped clarify :) Enjoy making your own lip balm!

Did you squeeze the vitamin E out of the capsules? and where did you get plain wax? Jessica jessica.adopts@gmail.com GREAT idea – thanks for sharing.
