Lip balm question

[Deb]

Hey everyone,

A quick lip balm question.
I've always used oils, as I like the way oils tend to mix easily, but i've been turned on to a supplier with a lot of water based flavourings. I'd like to give some of them a try, but mixing oil+ water..not easy.

I can get honey to mix if I keep beating through the hardening process, but i've never tried a water-based flavouring. Has anyone made it work? or know any non-toxic-if-ingested emulsifyers?

Cheers
Deb

couldnt you use beeswax as your emulsifier?

Well yes, I could and I do have beeswax in there, but normally I still have a dickens of a time getting liquids to mix in with it.
