stains from natural chapstick on microfiber/spandex skating tights?

A few weeks ago, I was doing a load of laundry, and accidentally left a tube of Burt's Bee's chapstick in the wash. It also went through the dryer, which left stains on my microfiber/spandex skating tights. I've tried rewashing them with using a stain remover, but that didn't work. What else can I try? Would dish detergent be a possibility? I'm just trying to think of everyday stuff that I have at home that could work.

Thanks!

    they have been through the dryer?

    the stain is set

    the problem you have is you have a grease (beeswax) that has been under high temps

    do you have any chalk?

    like sidewalk chalk?

    grate or rub against a blackboard so you have dust, onto the stain and leave

    rub it in with your finger

    it works when something hasnt been washed as it absorbs the grease

    it may work now
