I want to use these to flavor homemade lip gloss (made of beeswax and oils). Would this work? Are they water based or oil based?

They use the same oils in their Lip Gloss Kit so yes, they can be used for lip gloss as well. I assume they are oil based. Have fun!

They are water based mainly for candy and foods there is a line of oil based they are more expensive though.

I have put hot olive oil and beeswax mixtures in them. I've also reheated them in the microwave to add essential oils. These are sturdy and attractive little jars. I intend to order more.

These are only meant to be used as a moisturizers. Although safe to eat, this is not meant for food and therefore has no flavor. They need to be processed into a form that is usable because the raw form is hard, not malleable enough to apply as moisturizer whenever.

I do not ave the package, so I can't verify : but having used them, I can tell you if it isn't beeswax, it i something cheaper, possibly paraffin. Soy wax would be better but it is a little soft for crayons. These are usable, but do not expect a bright color. . The aso do not mix well with other wax based paints: they sit on top, and disappear into the previous layer without making much of a difference. If you are looking for organically pure crayons, you won'y find them in this box.

I used them for lip balm, but they never leaked and have worked very well. I don't see why they wouldn't work for solid perfume.

I used this wick for pure beeswax candles poured into 4oz quilted mason jars (http://www.acehardware.com/product/index.jsp?productId=4418846&KPID;=957278&kpid;=957278&pla;=pla_957278).They burn just fine. Just make sure that they are secured upright in place while the candle cools a bit, otherwise the wick flops over.

This is not the same as regular coconut oil that you can cook with. This one you can NOT cook with. It is good for your skin and I have used it in essential oils in on my face and lips at night. Very nice. I don't know about a lip gloss because it soaks into your skin so won't stay on long. Bert's Bees has a good lip gloss. You may want to check that out if you are not allergic to Bee Stings.

They would work great on any bottle... I just happen to use them for wine. They'd be great for soda too! I am sure they would work well on oil and vinegar too.

You can mix them with water but if you want a cream you are better off using another mixing medium like Vaseline I find that works best that's how I make my lip stains and sticks

Not to certain about that one. These oils are originally used for candy making. I particularly uses them for baking purposes.

Sorry but I have not used this with oil based products yet but I would not be afraid to. Works great with water based.

I've not used them for liquid and don't know that I would. It's a little piece of plastic that may leak if you use liquid. I've used it for cupcakes successfully

As long as you have solvent out they work fine for oil. If they melt, you need to rework your medicine as you have water or solvent left.

As a matter of fact, it does. I originally got this product to use in home-made lip balms containing oils and waxes, and it works very well for that.

It is my understanding that these oils are made for that exact purpose. I am actually a soaper so not positive about the temps. I have ordered things directly from snappy, great customer service, you may want to direct your questions there.
