Tip: The Phase A ingredients can start to set quite quickly so it's helpful to pre-measure your Phase B ingredients into a beaker or dish so that it's ready to go.
Method
- Weigh your Phase A ingredients into a pot on the stove top, melt and stir gently.
- Once melted, take off the heat and add Phase B ingredients.
- Pour into silicone mould/s or large kraft tube/s and allow to set. (Put it in the fridge to speed up the setting process.)
To use
- Apply directly to skin and allow the natural heat from your skin to melt the bar. Massage full body and allow skin to absorb.
Substitutions
- You can use any type of beeswax.
- You can use a different butter, though keep in mind different butters have different solidities and may change the solidity of the final bar. You can adjust by adding more beeswax with a softer butter but it may take some playing with ratios.
- You can use a different carrier oil, it shouldn't change the consistency too much but may change the colour and/smell.
- You can use any essential oil or fragrance oil or leave it unfragranced.
