shea butter lip balm recipe
How can I make a lip butter that is soft and spreadable?
I ask because recently made a balm beeswax, shea butter and sweet almond oil. I followed the recipe, but when it was created and is cooled first all the mica had settled in the bottom ... and the second was so strong! I want to make creamy lip butter is slippery and soft, not hard on the bottle. Also How can I keep falling mica? Should I add an ingredient or something to make it softer? Any help or even recipes are appreciated!
adjust the ration of solid oils to liquid oils (solid beeswax) shea butter at room temperature (2-4oz) put in mixing bowl whip until creamy Slowly add 1 / 2 mica whip about 10 min. add sweet almond oil or jojoba oil mango (2 ounces or a combination thereof or 2) Vit E (1 teaspoon) (the cheapest sometimes only to buy the capsules of the amounts that do are per pound, so I will give my best guess answer here is a small amount of Shea. Add the wax bees as his whip again not melted shea butter. Add least this time of beeswax is the product of holding together what does not melt so fast. Thus that if you use bleached beeswax. Get the wax Natual the shutout when he can not for some reason your best for me in my recipes. Beeswax has a melting point of 143 to 148 degrees F. and should only be heated through a double boiler. Care can cause a fire. Tired I sit here. Want to make a suspension of mica and butter shea butter and almond oil, throw in some Vitamin E oil preservative use a whip in a mixer, let (the remaining 10 min.) and come back and whip. you can let this whip for a while it does better the longer the whip and the addition of beeswax slowly in the end I can just whip mine run 1 / 2 and our time. I have a kind of mixing bowl ... put in a bag (corner cut) or cake decorator can put in the container not put butter shea butter in iron, bronze or copper. can be put in coated steel, plastic containers, dark glass.
