How to Make Lip Balms
Making lip balms is so easy! Your own homemade lip balms are made just the way you want them. Your own homemade lip balms are so much better than the ones you can purchase in the store because you control the quality of ingredients which go into them. You can use the best in natural oils and natural bee's wax. Plus you can flavor them with any lip balm flavor you especially enjoy.
So let's make some homemade lip balms!
What you'll need:
2 tsp Beeswax Pellets
8 tsp Natural Sweet Almond Oil
1/2 teaspoon Soap Crafters Mint Flavoring Oil
9 Lip Balm Tubes and caps
1 Pipette
1 large rubber band
Click Here for the rest of the instructions on how to make lip balms at home
How to Make Shampoo
1-1/4 Cups SUPER Concentrate
32 oz distilled water
1/2 Teaspoon Soap Crafters Fragrance
8 drops of Liquid Colorant
Optional: 1.2 ounces Natural Humectant
Use distilled (purified is not distilled) water for best clarity in the end product; tap water will add a cloudiness. Use a stick blender to mix the Super Concentrate with the water then add the colorant and fragrance.
(A stick blender must be used to mix because hand stirring will not mix it in properly.) Mix for about 1 minute.
Allow mixture to sit overnight before bottling to give the air time to escape and the mixture will return clear. If you use non-distilled water, it will be cloudy. If you add oils to the mixture then it will be opaque.
If you add Humectant, it will give an amber tint to it.

melting African black soap
Thanks, What I did this am was melt shea butter, oil, etc together & mix it briskly with warm African Black Soap. I put it in a pet jar & will use it that way. Kim
I don't know the actual
I don't know the actual melting point, but it won't turn liquid. It is more like runny mashed potatoes.
melting point of African Black Soap
What is the melting point of Black African Soap? My directions say you can melt it with the other ingredients I am using to pour into my molds & it doesn't become liq enough to mix with the other melt & pour. What I have is sticky to begin with. Thanks, Kim
can anyone tell me how to
can anyone tell me how to make liquid african black soap?
Yeah, the back of the soap
Yeah, the back of the soap will do that if the mixture is really thick.
You might try using a lower oven temperature. Probably too much of the liquid is evaporating out during melting. But, on the other hand, it will be a bit rough on the back of the soap.
Adding additional liquid is never a good idea because when it cures, all that liquid evaporates out of the soap. If you use too much then they shrink all sunken in and it looks really bad.
African black soap
I followed the directions and while the front of the molded soap looked OK, the back was all lumpy.
You sure can. You need to
You sure can. You need to chop it up first in about 1/2"-1" chunks then follow the instructions on how to melt soap. You can add milk, fragrance, etc. There isn't much point to adding color as it is a dark bluish black color naturally. But you can pour it into a mold just like any other soap.
Instructions on how to melt this soap and our shredded soaps are here:
