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 Items: This kit contains soy wax, coconut oil, and shea butter, which may melt when exposed to high temperatures during transit.
