How To Make Bacon Lip Balm

Step 5: Designing a Label

Now you could just stop there, or you could design a funky label like i did :) and now here's an idea; give it to friends as presents and spread the love of bacon.

Speaking as someone who makes both candles and lip balm for a living, please don't use a candle to make lip balm!! At the very least, get some paraffin wax that's food safe (it should be in the canning section of the grocery store - although you shouldn't use it for canning - and afterwards you can use some to make buckeyes, yum) or some food grade beeswax. Just not candle wax - it's not skin safe, it's not food grade, even if you're making it for yourself, be nicer to your body.

what happens when the bacon fat becomes rancid?

That's why I haven't made this yet. I'm hoping someone can find out whether or not it will go bad.
