OMG - you have just given me the most valuable piece of information and I can't thank you enough. I have been making lotions and moisturisers for the last 2 years and have been fortunate enough to never loose a batch. However, this year we moved house and I have had two big batches separate on me. I had worked out it was to do with the heat of the water and oil phase but was not doing anything different. This year we moved house and I just checked the elevation levels. The old house was right on the waters edge and was 77ft and the new house is at 233ft. Not too high but obviously enough difference to affect my methods. I had no idea that elevation could mess with my water temps. Probably explains why the kettle has also started playing up since moving - I thought it got damaged in the move. Thank you so much for mentioning that. I will have to review my heating methods

@HumblebeeAndMe

7 жыл бұрын

Hey Keeley! Happy to help :) However... I don't think this is the problem in your particular case. If we're talking in Imperial, "With each 500-feet increase in elevation, the boiling point of water is lowered by just under 1 °F" (www.fsis.usda.gov/shared/PDF/High_Altitude_Cooking_and_Food_Safety.pdf), so given you're dealing with an increase of 156 ft, I think your water may be boiling at 0.25°F cooler than it was before-definitely not enough to impact anything. I think you probably just need a new kettle :) Are you using distilled water? If you're using tap water it may be the new tap water at the new house, too.

But without you commenting on it, I don't think I would have thought to check my water bath. I always used bottled distilled water for my recipes but use tap in the water bath

Hey Marie! Thank you so much for this video! I've been looking for a creamier beard balm recipe for sometime now.

A couple of questions, Marie: While trying to buy BTMS-50, a vendor here in Spain told me to buy BTMS-25 and add .05% of cetyl alcohol to the recipe to achieve the same effects of the -50. Your thoughts? And as a side question, I LOVE the smell of palo santo. Have you ever used the essential oil, and if so, what do you think of it? Thanks for your amazing information. Best, Bill

@HumblebeeAndMe

4 жыл бұрын

BTMS-50 is 50% behentrimonium methosulfate, while BTMS-25 is only 25% behentrimonium methosulfate. Behentrimonium methosulfate is the active conditioning ingredient; adding 0.05% cetyl alcohol isn't going to make up for a 50% drop in the active ingredient, unfortunately. I'm sure it's possible to make it work, but you'd have to redevelop the entire formulation to get the proper concentration and desired consistency. I'm afraid I've never worked with palo santo :) Happy making!

Hey Marie, I love your videos. What other oil can I use if I don’t have any camellia oil?

I am using Vitamin E Acetate, will that be exactly 2 drop ?

I've been using my batch for a week now and my beard is very silky smooth. I however use BTSM-25 as I could not find the 50 when I ordered my stuff. I'm experimenting a little bit as my beard tends to frizz so I need to see about making this a little more waxy to hold it. Thanks!

This looks great. Can you use a different wax? Jojoba or candelilla ?

@HumblebeeAndMe

7 жыл бұрын

Yes, but the amounts will vary and the consistency will change. I personally wouldn't as I like how creamy beeswax is and it compliments the formula, but you won't destroy it by using a different wax-you just might not like what you get.

Still working on a larger batch to this consistency. Just can't get it

Could I substitute candelilla wax instead of beeswax?

I do not have camellia oil what could I use instead. Thank you

Also, can you give advice on the ratios of wax to butter to carrier oil to essential oil in general to make a good beard balm. I like my products to be soft but not greasy. Not sure if the greasiness is from the carrier oils or from the shea butter. I don't use coconut oil because I find it FAR TOO greasy/messy (though I enjoy the smell). P.S. I love that you use weight (grams) for all your ingredients! Most recipes out there fluctuate between ounces and tablespoons etc. I can never tell if they are referring to fluid ounces and often turns out to be a disaster. With your recipes, they are super easy as long as you have a scale!! so Thank you!!!!!! Would love to see you do a "dupe" video on replicating Honest Amish's Beard Balm as they have a very unique consistency unlike any of the other balms, AND they have an incredible scent which I can't seem to fully place my finger on. Something between cloves, anise, some woodsy scent, and maybe a dash of citrus.

Hi there, love your recipes I have just started out doing diy products and you offer a lot of great information to learn from. So first thank you for that. I calculated the percentages for this recipe as I have been intending to scale it up and saw that 16% is the part made up of the Vitamin E and essential oils. I really wanted to keep the fragrances (not using EO because it's for a person with eczema) around 0.5% and the vitamin E about the same, maybe 1%, but this would mean only 1% of the 16%. How could I calculate the remaining % between the remaining ingredients in order to keep the consistency? It would help tremendously, thx. PS: reading your blog entries 3 times each and also your encyclopedia input to learn the ingredients better. Keep up the great work! ;)

@HumblebeeAndMe

4 жыл бұрын

How much weight are you attributing to a "drop"? The weighed part of the formulation weighs 25g, and the essential oils and vitamin E *might* add another gram to that, which would be ~3% at most for all of it. You can certainly reduce the amount further (making up the amount with liquid oil), but it's definitely not 16% :)

Hi Marie! Can I use this balm as a base for a pre-shave cream/balm for men? Maybe if I use some coconut oil, hemp seed oil? Or sweet almond oil instead of camellia seed oil? Shea butter instead of mango butter? I'm trying to make a pre-shave cream and this recipe gave me some ideas. Have you ever thought giving recipes for men products like shaving cream or shaving soap or hair style pomade?

@HumblebeeAndMe

5 жыл бұрын

Swapping the oils in the recipe around isn't going to dramatically change the function at all to transform this from a leave-on to a pre-shave balm. I'd probably make something that's emulsified, like the aftershave cream you also commented on, rather than something like this for a pre-shave balm-it'll rinse off more easily when shaving. Shaving/men's recipes are typically the least popular recipes I publish, so I don't really prioritize them 🤷🏻‍♀️

Hey, if you had just poured the mixture into the tin and let it cool, what would the consistency have been? Would it have been soft but not creamy? Do you think the wax may have settled to the bottom rather than it staying suspended? Thank You!

It might separate (that would be impacted by how quickly it cools), and wouldn't be as creamy/soft, especially for the first few uses.

24% is fine (it didn't smell fishy and there's no regulatory maximum usage level), but in hindsight is is a bit overkill. You could use less if you wanted to; I'd replace it with cetearyl alcohol to keep the formulation in balance. You can also check out this formulation (www.humblebeeandme.com/midwinter-conditioning-beard-balm/) which is a bit more up to date, and uses a less concentrated BTMS so it's less than half of what is used here.

You may want to remind your brother that when something is pretty much 100% oils, it will never feel totally not oily lol. You can try incorporating 10-15% isopropyl myristate as an alternative to one of the liquid oils.

I need more details than "I have tried everything"-that leaves a lot to the imagination! Like... have you tried launching it into space? :) Are you using a cosmetic grade fragrance oil or essential oil-not a blended product, a cooking extract, or a diluted scent?

What can I replace the camellia oil with if I don't have that oil.
