The first trial didn’t turn out very well. First, because there wasn’t enough liquid in the container, a hole formed in the center of the lip balm. Second, the feedback that I got from my partner is that it felt a bit dry when tested on hand. I think I would add more oil and shea butter to make it more moisturizing. However, I do like the scent.
