Little Girls Lip Balm for BDay Party..HELP ME!!

[fibrojanet]

know this is old but...

I recently made lip gloss with my 8 year old granddaughter and I tweaked the youtube video recipe's.

what I did was use a little carrier oil, a little beeswax and a bit of e-wax until it seemed to be the right consistency. Instead of Kool aid which didnt mix in correctly for me the first time, I used jello which worked wonderfully. The kool aid just sat there real grainy on the bottom of the wax. Jello melted through and tasted great. we did cherry and green apple.

Did you use the Jello powder or already made Jello? I'm asking since you added ewax. I was just concerned because if you did use already made Jello, it adds water to the balm so you would need a preservative to prevent nasties from growing.
