Turn beeswax into something you can use every day! Beeswax is a valuable by-product of honey harvesting and has been used for centuries in candles, cosmetics, art materials, electronics, lubricants, polishes, inks, and paints.

With this kit, students discover one of the many practical uses of beeswax by creating their own lip balm. It includes the common ingredients needed to make beeswax lip balm and contains enough supplies for 36–48 tubes. The activity is a fun, hands-on way to explore natural resources, product design, and the role of bees in agriculture.

    Messy, but so worth it

    Posted by Linda Pollock on Mar 31st 2025

    My students loved making lip balm! Be sure to put down wax paper and have paper towels at hand, but they learned about measuring accurately, melting points and planning in addition to making a great item.

    Beeswax lip balm kit

    Posted by Stephanie Peterson on Feb 26th 2024

    This was so easy to do! I was nervous about it, but it was simple and quick! After you do the first set, you've got it. I did it with 4th and 5th graders supervised one small group at a time. Highly recommend!
