I make my own lip balm base and normally I make just enough to use. But this time I made way to much and would like to store it. I use just butters and oils .. And a small ant of stevia... How would I store this I have it in a 8oz jelly jar for now... Any help please

I make 3-4lbs at a time now since I make so much lip balm.  It's nice not to have to make a new batch each time.  I do the same for my solid lotion base that I make.

 

For one I use a loaf mold that's made for soap and just cover it with plastic.  The other I use an old tupperware thing that I found at the goodwill (i cleaned it out really well) that I think is called a celery keeper. I wish I had more of those, they are the best and come with a lid.   I can take a pic of them if you need me to. :)

Cool can you please send a picture, so do you put in the ridge to store?

Ok. Here are the pics. Sorry it took me a couple of days.

 

The green one is my lip balm base that I make from scratch and the other is my solid lotion, also made from scratch. :)   It's so nice to make up big batches beforehand.  I'd like to get even bigger ones so I can make like 10 lbs of each at a time since I go through them so fast.    I like some of the buckets that some of my ingredients come in so I'll probably move to those eventually.

 

I don't keep it in the fridge.
