The solution for those who want it in a lip balm tube

It would be 5 stars if they also offered this in a lip balm tube. Tin cans are not suitable for regular use as a lip balm. Too difficult to open/close, needs to be applied with fingers and in summer it melts in my purse. At the moment I pack them in lip balm tubes myself. Here's how to do it for those who want to do the same: Buy some empty lip balm tubes and a very small funnel. Next you need to melt the pink ointment in liquid form either by laying it in the sun (if it's hot enough outside) or by blow drying it for 5 minutes. Remember to remove the lid from the can first so it doesn't spill all over the place when you open it. Also, if you are using a hair dryer, set the speed to the lowest setting. At high speed, melted ointment squirts everywhere. Make sure the ointment is completely thin to the bottom. Dose carefully into test tubes with a sufficiently small funnel. Don't pour all of the ointment into the funnel at once, as you'll likely have to switch to another tube halfway through. I have four tubes of 8ml from two glasses. If the ointment in the tube is too hard to squeeze out before use, hold the tube in your clenched fist for a minute to soften it up a bit. Hope this helps others who are picky like me!
