need help with recipe

[Guest guest]

I bought some body butter from someone prior to tryung to make my

own, and have been trying to copy her product and just can't seem to

get it right. Her ingredients are only beeswax, macadamia nut oil

and fragrance. It is not like a whipped butter at all, it is almost

like vaseline only a little thicker. It also soaks into the skin a

lot faster than the ones I have tried. Any and all help is greatly

appreciared.

thanks

Try one part beeswax, two parts macadamia. Heat in double boiler, let it

cool, see if it's what you had in mind. Add more oil if it's too hard, add

more beeswax if it's too runny. Keep track of what you add. Get the

consistency you want, then add fragrance, which won't change it much. What

have you tried so far?

I only melt them together, let is sit for 12 hours, stir again and then pour

into container. It is very easy and everyone I have sold it to, has come back

for more. I even add 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon of eo or fo. Even my husband loves

this stuff. He says it is great for the whole body. He uses it all over, for

him, though I lightly scent. Good luck. Millie

Hi Millie, Recipe sounds wonderful! Just wondering if you just

melt these together or if you have to whip and freeze, whip and

freeze with your recipe.. If so how long did you whip and freeze?

Also how much does this recipe make? (ex 1 - 2oz jar, etc) I am

assuming you put it in a jar type container like lip gloss comes in

but bigger?

Thanks in advance..

Charise, when it's gooey like vaseline that means very little

beeswax compared to balm recipes- this is more like a salve...try it

with one fourth the beeswax first and see if that stiffens the

macadamia enough...macadamia nut oil is an excellent choice becuase

it most closely resembles human sebum... that's why its working so

well for you when you put it on ;o)
