.5tsp vit e
.25tsp aloe vera concentrate
.5 tsp peppermeint EO

I want to convert this recipe into percentages but in order to do that i need to convert the Cups/tsp to weight or volumetric measure...


HELP!!! please!!

going to make lotion and lip balms tonight!! (yay!)

 

[Becky]

19.91% Beeswax
75.76% Sweet Almond Oil
1.73% Vitamin E
0.87% Aloe Concentrate
1.73% Peppermint EO

Hope that helps, have fun

becky, since that formula was a mix of weight and volume how did you do that? did you look up specific gravities or what?

And Ian, that seems to me like a lot of peppermint EO for lip balm. Proceed with caution.

No, I used SoapMaker which has all that info already built in to the program. I just plugged in the formula as it was & it automatically gives you the percentages.

cb- how much do you think would be good to add as far as EO??
