Cleaning out containers is always a pain especially when using beeswax or other waxes. You can never get it fully clean. BUT I found these little silicone flexible measuring cups that work great on clean up. You can just let the wax or butters cool and then turn these inside out and the wax and butters pop right off. Then you can wipe it down and it's fully clean for next time. Plus you can squeeze it to control the pour and it doesn't get hot on your hand even if the wax inside is hot as blazes.

What I good idea! I make a batch of beard balm with beeswax about once a year and I HATE THE CLEANUP. This will make it much easier!
 
To clean up after making lip balms and similar stuff, I use a tablespoon of Washing Soda dissolved in 16 oz. hot tap water. Soak utensils for 5 minutes. Waxy residue rises to the top where I can skim it off onto a paper towel. Washing Soda solution goes into a jar to be used again. Utensils go into the dishwasher. Easy peasy.:thumbs:
