Lisa Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 Those of you who has made the lip balm and/or perfume from a base or from homemade (reciepe), Which do you like better? Base or homemade?Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrie Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 It really makes no difference does it? If I make a sucky balm then I guess the base would be better. If soaperxyz makes a great balm it would be better. I suggest you make some and decide for yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngelaVA Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 I don't do a lot of B&B and so I use a lotion base and lip balm base. I like to concentrate more on candles and since I can't do everything, using a base allows me to still toy with B&B but not to have a million more ingredients sitting in my house taking up space. Not to mention the fact that B&B means more testing - like you do with candles. Since I don't concentrate on B&B I looked for the easier way out. When I get all these candle ideas out of my head and into wax, I will have more time to spend playing with B&B recipes and stuff, but I only have so much time and money right now.

RobinInOR Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 Quality will definately be a factor like the others stated lol. I much prefer to make my own. It takes the same oils that I stock for soap, so it's one less thing I have to order. Less expensive too I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sudsnwicks Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 It takes the same oils that I stock for soap, so it's one less thing I have to order. Yup, this is how I got into lip balm. I discovered I already had all the ingredients! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MommaD Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 I love the homemade base that I got the recipe for here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
