| Qualitative observations | Really hard |
| Person | Comment |
| 1 | Nice scent, more oil (want more residue) |
| 2 | Like the smell, less smell |
| 3 | Stronger honey, kind of hard |
| 4 | Use more coconut oil, less wax, good smell |
| 5 | More oil, smells like a hotel, maybe stronger smell |
| 6 | Good smell |
Using the feedback above, I know I added too much wax because the lipbalm ended up really hard. I will change it from 2g to 1g, and I got feedback saying more oil could be used, so I will switch almond oil to coconut oil, because coconut oil is more soft/smooth, and the measurements will change from 1 drop to 1.5g. I think I will also add more honey, to make the vanilla honey flavor come out more, so I will change it from 0.4g to 0.8g.
