Oh i guess you're looking to make soap with it? then yeah it is too weak for that

How mini are we talking about? I got one that's very similar to this one for lotions and serums up to 200ml, I love it. https://a.co/d/iy2BD2R https://www.crafters-choice.com/products/mini-mixer-cordless.aspx?Mode=REVIEW

But at least they're named differently 😛

Your formula is confusing because they're listing the recipe in grams, but then they tell you how many lip balm tubes it will fill up by volume. So like if you make 250g of lip balm, it's not guaranteed to fill up a cup (250ml) because different oils have different densities. One day i ordered...

Which recipe is that? The buffy bars or one of the emulsified ones?

I used 30% benzoin and 70% orange, i absolutely love how they pair with cocoa butter, reminds me of orange chocolate bars 🤤 I also struggle with ounces, so i converted to %: 31% cocoa butter 31% shea butter 37% exfoliants (IIRC she's using equal amounts of each) 1% fragrance

I often go to lush for inspiration and I've often noticed that they're not truthful with their interest listings. Look at this face cream for example, which lists "fresh wheatgrass juice" as its first ingredient : https://www.lush.com/us/en_us/p/skins-shangri-la-self-preserving-moisturiser...

Yess, that's the same balm recipe I use! I like that it's solid so there's no dripping oil on the counter, and i love the addition of clay as well.

That makes sense!

Well I already have the mold lol, but if @not_ally wanted to dupe it and knows of an easy method, I'd be open to trying.

I love safflower oil, it's light and i find it dissolves makeup better than other oils. It's high in linoleic acid which my skin loves since I'm prone to breakouts. It's cheap, it's available everywhere. 👌 I make an oil cleansing solid balm inspired by Humblebee's recipes, and scent it with...

Oh i haven't thought of polymer clay. How do you make a mold with polymer clay?

We have 2 of these from Costco in different rooms running nonstop for 2+ years. Sometimes they are on sale for 99$ https://www.costco.com/winix-true-hepa-4-stage-air-purifier-with-wi-fi-and-additional-filter.product.4000093012.html

I think it's not possible to use this mold for soap.. it's made from that clear plastic material and a part of it is a little warped from something hot, so I can only use it for lotion bars which I don't often make. Ah I can relate to parting with precious crafting equipment. I moved from...

:) this mold is so ancient but it's my favorite. I originally got it at NDA (in 2009!! according to my email receipt it was called "happy face mini mold"). I searched a bunch and I can't find it anywhere :( the closest i found was this one at WSP...

I love me a sharp peppermint so i mix it with either rosemary or eucalyptus. My favorite is Japanese peppermint.

This!!! I have a bunch of Pyrex cups and every single one of them makes a big mess when i try to pour liquids. The one Anchor cup i have is the one i use for liquid stuff.

I've made the buffy bars recently with a few modifications: - I ran out of shea butter so i subbed half the amount for coffee butter, which is made of hydrogenated cottonseed oil and coffee oil. It's a solid oil so it's a lot softer than shea butter. I think it contributed to my bar being much...

Thank you for your review! I've been eyeing a couple of recipes for these bars for a while, but was feeling kind of meh about trying them because I'd made in-shower lotion in the past and really wasn't into the whole concept. The emulsion kind of lingered there all wet and then I'd have to...

Lanolin is a must for me, especially for winter! It's been a game changer since I've discovered it, i won't use anything without it. I also love adding cocoa butter, i think the non deodorized one is super yummy in lip balm. So far I've settled on 8% but it's been a while since I've tweaked my...
