Guest guest Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 lip balm simple recipe 2 T. petroleum jelly 1 tsp. beeswax 10-14 drops peppermint essential oil Melt petroleum jelly, and then add beeswax. When melted, remove from heat and add peppermint EO. Pour into a container and cool. lip balm basic recipe 1 oz part beeswax 2 oz cocoa butter 2 oz sweet almond oil 1 tsp vit e flavor oil of your choosing In a very small pan, add the beeswax and melt over the lowest setting. Once melted add the cocoa butter chunks and shea butter, let melt, and then add the sweet almond oil. Heat through. Add the Vitamin E oil and flavor oil , stir. Remove from stove and pour into a glass measuring cup for easy pouring into lip balm containers. this is an awesome microwave body butter 2 ozs cocoa butter (weighed) 2 ozs natural shea butter (weighed) 2 ozs mango butter (weighed) 1 teaspoon almond oil 3 teaspoons apricot kernel oil 1 teaspoon beeswax pearls fragrance oil 1/4 teaspoon Vit E. (optional, as a preservative) Directions: In a microwave safe measuring cup, add all the ingredients except the fragrance oil. Melt, in 1 minute intervals in high until all the ingredients have liquefied. Continue to heat on low for another 2-3 minutes (do not boil). The continued heating will help prevent the butters from becoming grainy once solid. Remove from microwave and stir. Let set to cool for a few hours and stir again. Before the mixture sets (overnight), add your fragrance oil and stir, even whip, to incorporate the scent. Spoon into jars or tins and label. Note: This is a firmer body butter. If you prefer a softer butter, the consistency can be adjusted by decreasing the amount of beeswax and/or cocoa butter. Or just adding a drizzle of liquid glycerin. > > Do you have any good tips for lip balms or body butters (even lotion bars)? > Any tips? > > > > KimG > > > > _____ > > From: [mailto: ] > On Behalf Of too2bizymom@a... > Sent: Sunday, October 16, 2005 9:08 AM > > Subject: Re: Re: Advice on Beginning bath...I forgot to add > > > > I would be glad to add some of my simpler recipes, save me some back > tracking > and mention again what kind of recipes you are looking for. > > > > > _____ > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 That's what I do too and love the creativity of it. I would like to learn cp (haven't even tried yet) but I'm happy with the MP base I use. and I'm busy and excited about making a lot of body/bath products right now too. I love hear all the info about solid lotion bars, body butters, scrubs etc. I'd love some sort of book with just the definitive explanation of all the butters, oils and other things. It's hard to know with out bugging everyone with tons of questions and for exact recipes when I know I should be working it out on my own more. But who has the time or money (for more supplies) to waste on probable failure recipes. Its soooo great of other soapers to share knowledge!!! I love it.
