Lip Balm Empty Container Tubes 3/16 Oz (5.5ml), Pack of 12; Natural (Translucent) Color

I've started making my own 100% organic lip balm. I thought it would be fun and easy to make & it is! I ordered these lip balm containers so I could fill them up with my homemade lip balm and give to family & friends to try. They worked great and so far everyone loves them. I used a plastic container filled with rice to stand the containers upright while I poured the lip balm in. Stuck them in the fridge for about an hour so they could set and pulled them out and they were ready to go! I even added some lipstick to some of them to give them a tint. These containers are easy to use and work great. I will definitely be buying more of these since the price is right!

Just a small step back in time and products like this simply weren't available, at any price. If you wanted a pure, wholesome balm you were dreaming. We only had two choices. Neither choice was effective. After all why would the customer continue to amass their chapsticks if they didn't dry out one' s lips with mineral oil, alcohols and the like, forcing one to search out a better, new and improved, flavored, artificially colored, remedy ? Almost all balms, even today, contain mystery chemicals and synthetics. These little tubes allow me to mix purified Shea butter, argan oil and bees wax to form the perfect soothing, healing, protective balm. The tubes are even attractive, upscale. And so inexpensive ! They're such a marvelous find that I just ordered a second set .

These are great containers. If you need more than 12, it's much cheaper to buy in bulk, but if you are just making a small batch or trying to decide whether or not homemade lip balm is the thing for you, these work great. I would recommend them to anyone, and would definitely have purchased more if I was making small amounts at a time. I bought them for my first time making lip balm, because I thought I'd never make it again. I love the fact that they are clear, it makes it easier to fill, and when using it you know when you are almost out (I hate when I run out of lip balm halfway through a day). They are very good quality, and I have been very happy using them. I was actually surprised, these containers make the finished product look very professional.

I decided to make lip balm for gifts. I prefer tubes to lip balm tubes, so I ordered these, and they worked well for me. They feel well-made, with sturdy plastic. It's easy to twist them up and down, and the lids fit snugly on the top. I used them with hot, very liquid, melted oils, and I didn't have any problems at all with them leaking or melting. I like the fact that they're clear so I can see how much is left in each tube. They hold the same amount as any brand-name lip balm you'd get at the store (Blistex, Chapstick, etc.). There are a couple drawbacks that I've noticed. The first problem, which is glaringly obvious, is that the tubes I got have clear caps instead of the white ones shown in the photos. It doesn't give a color in the product description, but when I ordered, I expected to get what I saw in the photo. The other problem is with the caps, If you angle the cap just a little bit off, it's very difficult to get on; you have to make sure it's pretty much straight up and down for it to go on easily. I feel like the caps on store-bought lip balms are a little more forgiving, but that's just what I noticed. Overall, I'm happy with these tubes, though they weren't quite what I expected from the photos. I'd buy them again, and probably will since I used up all of the ones I bought!

Worked great! I made a batch and needed to order some more. These worked perfectly. They all twisted fine and caps snapped on. Beware - I made the mistake of ordering from another listing from another company that was 50 clear w/clear caps and none of the caps worked - they slide right off. I'm re-ordering this set because I made the mistake of thinking all clear tubes are the same. I could have had them two days sooner if I hadn't wasted my time on the other listing!

I like to make my own lip balm for everyone in my household. It's easy and so much more cost effective than replacing this store bought lipbalms that we lose all the time. There are my simple home recipes found all over the net. But the point is, once made you need somewhere to place the balm. This tubes are it. I poured the lip balm into the tube and then placed it to cool in the refrigerator. No leaking and the balm tube works as expected. Cost effective.

I wanted to put Vaseline/petroleum jelly in these (I have two large tubs to go thru - don't ask lol) but the jelly isn't solid enough I guess; it seems like it's spilling over the screw cap into the cavity of the tube. I'll have to go with a more lipgloss-like container. I still gave 3 stars because they seem decently well made; it seems like they would work for more solid substances, they just didn't work for what I wanted them for.

I bought these to pour my homemade organic lip balm into. I was apprehensive at first because I didn't know if they would actually work like the type of tube that holds Chap-Stick, but they do!!!! After my balm solidified I could twist it up and down and snap the well-fitting cap back on. They are made out of solid plastic and are not flimsy nor weak in any way. They don't hold a lot, but with homemade balms I don't really mind because I don't want the balms to spoil over time. I just ordered two more bags of these and am looking forward to making all sorts of different lip balms and giving them away. I think these can be re-useable and will try when I get some empty ones back. I plan on washing them in hot, soapy water to remove any traces of the previous balm oils. These are great!!!
