sorry about...

Iv'e heard of that site before, DIY Bath & Body, just cant find it. anyway, I would prefer to use what I have on hand rather than buying more ingredients. Would you know if I am using enough Emulsifying Wax, or too much acording to my recipe ingredients? Is DIY Bath & Body on you tube?

I have this recipe to make sugar scrub cubes. 2 oz. M & P, 1 ounce almond oil, 1 ounce hemp oil, 6 ounces sugar. 9 ml emulsifying wax. Every recipie have seen regarding sugar scrub cubes doesn't add Emulsifying Wax and I am wondering why? I have made the cubes with and without the wax, and...

I'm makaing sugar scrub cubes with this recipe. 2 oz mp base, 2 oz hemp oil, 2 ml fragrance, 6 oz sugar, and 9 ml emulsifying wax, nf. My cubes seem greasy. Can someone tell me if my recipe is off possibly on the emulsifying wax. thanks!

sorry it took so long to reply. when she makes balms, she takes the mixture to trace just like cp soap. She does this so that down the line the balm does'nt turn grainy. The reason being is that the fatty acids melt at different times and temps, so she stirs the oils until it turn cloudy...

awesome! thanks

ok Ill test that! but are the numbers correct?

Here is the recipe I came up with, if you could check the numbers, as I dont want to make another mistake! I did the spoon trick and it turned out really nice. I love the SAO. instead of the mango. 34% beeswax @154.02g, 17% cocoabutter @77.01g, 33% hemp @149.49g, 16% Sweet almond oil...

this morning the bar survived the night! Its nice and hard. It has nice glide, and I am going to try a few more experiments to drill down to what I want. Its very close!!!! I need it to be a tad harder and IA'm going to subsitute mango for SAO (thanks for telling it what it was!!) I'm also...

First off whats SAO? I just took the bar out of the fridge. Its nice and firm, and it looks great! As long as it stays in a solid state after its out of the fridge, then i feel like I have accomplished something tonight!! Thank you so much for your help. I wouln't have been able to do this...

ok Ill try the test batch now and ill get back to you with the results

got it! thanks so much! I'm lousy at math, I've got alot of Mango butter to use up so Ill need to incorporate that into the recipe at some poi Because its a butter?, I would imagine I would have to lower the hemp oil to adjust for firmness. Not sure. if I used Almond oil and hemp oil for...

ok so cocoa butter and mango butter would be .33 each or half of .33 for each? and 453 times 16 oz?

thank you for the advice. I needed that! I will make a small batch- just an ounce. if it turns out to what i am looking for how do I ramp up the recipe to be 453.59 grams?

The problem is that it didint really harden. As soon as I remove it from the fridge, it softens up into a blob. Its not hard at all, and when I push it up out of the tube and apply to skin, its just all greasy. Can you help me figure out this recipe? Or do I need to start over. I would...

I'm on my third try of making a solid balm. my recipe has to be off, but at this point I can't see what is wrong,.. what I am trying to accomplish,is a nice solid bar that glides on the skin with not alot of drag but doesnt completly melt., that can be used in hot weather without it melting...

I did add kaolin claly. It didn't become grainy until 6 months later. I sold 6 bars, and didn't realize they were gainy until after the sale... customer didnt contact me, I noticed it myself as I only had one tube left, so I just don't want that to happen again. I made a batch using the...
