Guest guest Posted November 1, 2004 Report Share Posted November 1, 2004 Hi Dale, Koster Keunen (spelling might be off) has a product like that. You can make your own easily with a soft oil and beeswax. If you want a recipe let me know. Margaret > >Does anyone know of a wholesale supplier?

Guest guest Posted November 1, 2004 Report Share Posted November 1, 2004 Here is the recipe I give with beeswax I sell: 1 ounce beeswax 4 ounces oil (sweet almond, jojoba or rice bran work nicely) Slowly melt beeswax and oil together. Pour into tins or containers and cool. Infused oils would also be nice. HTH, Jan S PS. a little vitamin E to prevent rancidity would help too. www.sweetprairiesoap.com jans ~ The Soap Dr. is in! ~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 1, 2004 Report Share Posted November 1, 2004 Kathy, You are very welcome. Some basics about using beeswax: Dedicate separate utensils for working with beeswax. Beeswax will not come off the utensils easily. It leaves a thin coating that is wonderful for the body, not the spoon! Melt slowly, beeswax takes time to melt. Higher temps can damage the oils and cause a fire hazard. Nature takes time. When adding essential oils to the recipe wait until the base is cooling enhance the natural healing effect of the balm. Consistency? If it's too thick, add more oil and reheat. Too thin? Add more Beeswax. HR Some basics about using beeswax: Dedicate separate utensils for working with beeswax.

Guest guest Posted November 1, 2004 Report Share Posted November 1, 2004 Thank you Jan. Any suggestions for taking the thin coating off (left behind by the mixture)? Dale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 1, 2004 Report Share Posted November 1, 2004 Dale, Not a clue. Just dedicate some utensils for those products. Just heat in the oven or microwave, wipe as clean as you can. The tiniest amount left may often be washed off.

Guest guest Posted November 2, 2004 Report Share Posted November 2, 2004 I usually use a little naptha (available at hardware and paint stores, do wash thoroughly afterwards) to remove wax from my utensils--works on soy wax very well too. BTW I love the unpetroleum jelly--very handy stuff! Serra sweetprairie wrote: > Dale, > Not a clue. Just dedicate some utensils for those products.

Guest guest Posted November 2, 2004 Report Share Posted November 2, 2004 Whenever you are doing clean-up after using beeswax, add borax to the washing water. The borax helps the beeswax to emulsify. Works for me ... HTH ...

Guest guest Posted November 9, 2004 Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 Hi Kathy, Sorry for the delay in responding. I use a recipe very similar to the one already posted. I use: 1 cup soft oil 2 oz yellow beeswax can add vitamin E, or rosemary extract as well. Melt in double boiler over medium heat. Take off heat and cool in container and continue to stir as it cools till it's nice and smooth. I like to use jojoba or herbal infused olive oil (especially calendula) or a combo. After mixing use a spatula to clear off any mixture on the whisk or beaters. Then wipe with papertowels. Pour boiling water over to further clean and then wash in dishwasher or with hot soapy water. Makes a great salve/balm as well by adding in 1 Tbs lanolin when it's cooling and also an ounce of unrefined shea butter. I generally melt the shea on it's own but only partially and mix it up before adding it to the cooling oil/beeswax mix. Have a great day! Margaret >I would like this recipe, Please.
