Homemade Hand Balm Tutorial

Homemade Hand Balm Tutorial & Recipe By ambersambry.blogspot.com

Today’s feature is from Amber’s Ambry with this Hand Balm Tutorial:

The recipe I use calls for a blend of beeswax, solid butters and liquid oils and is a modified version of a recipe I found online. The most important thing about the recipe is to maintain even amounts of liquid oils and solid butters. You can tweak the beeswax and starch amounts according to your personal taste, but you must use equal amounts of oils and butters for them to properly solidify. Anyway, if you do a quick search for “solid lotion bar” or “solid hand balm” it should bring up a slew of different recipes for you to choose from. I will share my favorite here…

The tutorial includes a recipe (ingredients include beeswax, liquid oils, solid butters, starch and fragrance oils) that makes 12 mini-muffin sized balms and the tutorial includes plenty of pictures and instructions that walk you through the process. You’ll also find a neat tip at the bottom that shows you how to seal the tins with shrink bands.
