How to Pour Small Jars of Salve Without the Mess!
Somebody's a Genius!
CW Salves have been a staple around here for a long time, I've poured a few jars in my day. Well just when I thought I'd seen it all, wonders never cease. Today I discovered a brilliant way to fill tiny containers like lip balm sticks and cosmetic jars {always a challenge} in a more controlled manner. Kudos to my sister Jillee for coming up with this idea, she's saving our salve making sanity.
Dollar Store Special: 2 for $1
Follow directions to make All Purpose Healing Salve, Naked Salve or any other CW Salve Blend. Prepare your jars while you're melting the beeswax, coconut and olive oils. When your salve is ready carefully pour it into a squeeze bottle using a funnel. Next, wrap the bottle with a dish towel or hot pad because it's going to get warm.
Fill your small jars, lip balm pots or tubes with ease!
Clean up is relatively easy, let the remaining salve left in the bottle cool. Then use a skinny rubber spatula to scrape most of the leftover salve out of the bottle. Wash the bottle with hot, soapy water.
Special thanks to my smarty pants sis for coming up with this time and mess saver, I owe you a latte :)
As always, enjoy 10% off every Spark Naturals order.

Sometimes the solution to a problem is so simple it's scary! Great idea!
I am definitely going to have to try this! I've been giving healing salve as baby shower gifts (with requests from each that have received them for MORE!) this fall...I'm spending this afternoon making more salve (need to get some of the small cosmetic pots though). Once again you and your sisters have come to the rescue!
Always looking for ways to make things easier. Love healing salve, use it for everything.
We had purchased some for a different project. Now I have six of them ready to fill my jars!!! Thanks for the idea, you both are GREAT!!!!
Thanks for making the world a better place
That is brilliant! Thanks for sharing.
What about the hot product going into a plastic that probably contains BPA? Doesn't that concern you?
Thanks Jillee for the awesome idea!!! Love the Salve's and the last I made with Almond oil are devine!!
My squeeze bottles are BPA free and there are no essential oils in this part of the process only coconut and olive oil, I feel confident that it's safe.
Oh goodness, that is very generous of you! Thanks Beth, Merry Christmas :)
So true!!
Ive got to try almond oil too, sounds wonderful!
YEE HAW!!! Thanks :)
Why did I not see this 10 minutes ago?!?!?!
Thank you for helping get these thoughts started for me! Our conversation was the inspiration for the "keep on keeping' on" post :)
cosmetic containers.
Great idea! I've been doing this for a bit for anything that needs pouring in smaller containers (or molds like my lotion bars also). I wait until it's cooled down enough to add my essential oils, shake like heck and pour. Works wonderfully!!! :)
