craftyhunnypie Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Hi - I've had a load of this in solid form hanging about for some time. Bought it originally to make some of Dilly's bath melts. But with limited ingredients to hand What can I make? I thought about grating some soap bars up, melting them, adding some Shea butter & maybe some oats and pouring the mix into moulds? Would it work or can you think of anything else I could make? Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gracefruit Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 If you have some beeswax handy, you can make a lovely lip balm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 We'll have to get together then Emma! Is there a recipe for the proportions Savonista? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gracefruit Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Try 10% beeswax and 90% shea butter. You'll probably want to package it in a pot instead of a push up tube. Another great recipe for shea butter is whipped shea. You use an electric whisk to whip the softened shea butter with a little liquid oil to make a gorgeous cream. I like to whip mine with either jojoba or avocado oil. It's great because you don't need a preservative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Thank you! I've got plenty of beeswax....but no Shea Butter, I;'ll have to remember to get some........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gracefruit Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Do you have any other oils like olive or avocado? You don't need shea butter. If you have beeswax, you can make a lovely balm with some kitchen oils. I formulate natural cosmetics for a living, so if you'd ever like help putting something together, please let me know!
