Grades 6–12 (Kit)
Soy wax is used in candles, cosmetics, art materials, electronics, lubricants, polishes, inks, and paints. As a vegan-friendly alternative to beeswax, soy wax offers a versatile ingredient for creative projects. This kit includes common ingredients used to make soy wax lip balm and contains enough supplies for 36–48 tubes of lip balm.
⚠️ Heat-Sensitive Item: Soy wax, coconut oil, and shea butter may melt in high temperatures. During warmer months, this kit requires expedited shipping and special handling to help protect kit contents. An additional heat-protection shipping fee may apply.
