[@TheLizzylew]

I did this once and I put it in an empty chapstick container. so you apply it like you would chapstick, but on your wrist or neck!

[@Girlofpages]

That's a brilliant idea! But I'd probably forget and accidentally put it on my lips.

[@KirbieJohnson]

such a great idea!

[@extrasagrada]

this is the best idea ever thanks!

[@deanyang9483]

When I was little I found a solid perfume bar and it looked like lip balm so I out it in my lips.. My lips got so tight! And I could taste the floral smell and it also tasted chemically. :( Then I read the label and yeah..

[@sashaobx]

Deanna Yang wow.......

[@robin4078]

There are IFRA Maximum Skin Exposure Levels for each Essential Oil and Fragrance Oil out there so that skin won't get irritated or injured. Just doing a "Sniff test" doesn't cut it as far as safety is concerned, especially if you'll be selling your products. The base of your product can only accept a certain percent of essential or fragrance oil as well in order to be able to function as the product that your trying to create. Look up product recipes, research fragrance levels, and buy from reputable supply companies.

[@carolynji8876]

Omg I tried this I mixed a little bit of peppermint oil and a little bit of lavender oil and it came out like a REALLY fresh floral scent IT IS AMAZING

[@teresatormey3502]

I can imagine that smelling lovely! did it go on smoothly?

[@trishaescaravage338]

Carolyn Ji I wanna try this. I wonder how Eucalyptus and Rose would go together

[@farrdeenshah549]

Really ???

[@THEHORSELOVER235]

How much of each

[@stephaniepalucci]

definitely want to try this, been looking for a perfume for ages now and havent found one that suited me, now i can make my own!

[@karinasmith2214]

Thank you!...I will have a blast making all kinds of fragrances. Great video!

[@Alyssabrainne15]

This is so amazing! What a cute and simple idea. Thank you very much!!

[@jolene81]

This could be a great idea to put in my old EOS lip balm containers. That way I can just rub it on. I think I will try this. Thanks

[@jociebiz]

i love how you put the solid perfume in the heart locket. that's so smart

[@pukasmom]

I'm so happy I found this channel!

[@TrueChristina]

Love how your put it in the locket too :)

[@LauraNeuzeth]

I loved this! Such a great idea.

[@madysonimann930]

love that idea vivian

[@BinManSays87]

Glass bowls don't shatter unless you shock it with a vastly difference in temperature

[@Vicky-iv1vk]

I love this video! I really think I'm going to try this

[@amandacrisp0716]

This is such a cute idea

[@spark866]

wow finally i found the video i've been looking for:) thanks

[@lindabakker3743]

I like the locket idea!

[@healthnbeauty1194]

I'm going to look into this.

[@merelskip1207]

You can actually use a glass bowl, as long as the hot water doesn't touch the bowl

[@KirbieJohnson]

True, but I'd rather everyone be safe than sorry!

[@merelskip1207]

Yes thats true

[@frogystal]

I always use a glass bowl and never had a problem. Maybe it's because I put the glass bowl in before the water gets too hot so it's more gradual. Also, it's a very durable glass usually Mason jar type of thing.

[@MoJo01]

There are glass bowl made to withstand heat you know, Pyrex! Did you hear of it?

[@seanhan1207]

@@MoJo01 pyrex would still shatter if its under extreme stress, causing thermal shock due to change of temperature. pyrex isnt what it used to be, they replaced borosilicate with soda-lime to cut the cost.

[@fallon7394]

I use glass jars when I use a double boiler to make lip balms,I've never had any problems,It might just depend on who you get the containers from

[@kathryncastanares525]

Fallon Moore it also helps if you dont just add your glass straight into already hot boiling water. it should heat up with the water so they are both at the same temp. i use glass only as well because ive heard(dont know for sure) that bowls made with certain metals can be toxic to heat ingredients in because the metals can be infused into whatever youre heating. im not 100% sure. just something i was told thru my life. suppose i will do some research after this.lol

[@catarinabernardo1072]

love the idea

[@bernadettepesce773]

Great video. Thank you.

[@MariaFyks]

Very creative!

[@KirbieJohnson]

So glad you guys are loving this! Be sure to subscribe to ***** for more DIYS!

[@rachelsweets]

Thank you beauty

[@amedyassine]

Lovely ❤️

[@strlngbby57]

can you add color and what would you recommend using? I've looked at the mica powders and liquids for makeup but not sure if these would work. they use them on soap so I figured it would be safe. I just don't want it to rub off and get colored skin.

[@yakobusdasor9630]

Thank you very much.I will try parfume and soap making by herbal essensial oil.God bless you and your creativity for people of the world.

[@fomoc2184]

Want to ask is that normal bee wax same like candle bee wax? Or any other bee wax for skin use ?

[@Vivian14loves]

I've been using the same glass bowl for like 3 years if ur glass bowl is a good quality one it's not shattering

[@luzhdzz1926]

awsome :) cool idea

[@aleenarafiq7002]

Is bees wax ok for the skin?? I mean if we apply it on the skin wouldn't it make the skin area dark??

[@Evilstepqueen]

Great idea!! Although, I could see myself mixing up scents thinking they'd go together and really, they'd smell horrible hahaha. I really want to try this!!

[@btsramen]

u can buy a liquid perfume u like and use that instead of making one urself

[@misheelganbat109]

can i use burst bees beeswax lipblam? please help

[@sofiasafi5014]

can you use vaseline or those gel bees wax because I can't find to bar ones?

[@Man-ej6uv]

im planning on making perfume that smells like old books. so wood, grass, and vanilla.

[@hanikhan9556]

Plz share after making Vanila perfume

[@crizelmalabrigo7633]

I'm having trouble finding the ingredients for the cream perfume especially the soy wax and bees wax that is commonly used in making cream perfume. Is candle wax can be also used in making cream perfume? Can I melt the candle and use it in making cream perfume? How is it? Please help 

[@MissMSL91]

This may be a stupid question but can you do this with your perfume instead of essential oils?

[@yumi_1067]

I doubt that. But if you have a perfume oil version of your favourite perfume, you can use that.

[@abiolaahmed8011]

I like this video

[@sylwia22132]

Lavender rose and vanilla these r literally the only essential oils I have lol

[@strawberry2233]

thats cool

[@mistynatasha]

I absolutely love this idea!! What other oils smell good and are good to use for this solid perfume? I'm not a huge fan of lavender lol

[@KirbieJohnson]

Vanilla, citrus scents -- you can look up how to mix scents and that will give you some direction!

[@GeorginaCampos]

Can anyone tell me if the fragrance lasts on our skin? How long usually?

[@yolaamz6015]

👍👍👍Thank you 🎉🎉🎉

[@rutwadave7279]

Can we use coconut butter isn't of jojoba oil?

[@hellowmoons4089]

Can i use soy wax? And change jojoba oil with coconut cream

[@ikramahattarwala9652]

Can i used avocado oil with beeswax For solid perfume?? Give me quantity of beeswax, oil?

[@bitspieces5668]

Can you substitute jojoba oil for castor?

[@bellacool1]

I need some ideas which essential oils to mix

[@natashagreen-chillaxedprod7769]

a tip is if your using lavender not to use the type of lavender called Lavendula Augustifolia as its toxic to pregnant and breastfeeding mums, Children under 6yrs and the elderly - there bodies cant process the potent oil out of their bodies (see online at foundations of Aromatherapy) Also those on Antidepressants can't use Grapefruit Oil or any fragrance with thos in it as it counteracts with the serotonin levels in the brain. I'm an Aromatherapist and Enrolled Nurse.. I see alot of people on KZbin videos using lavender but don't mention this Important tip. iv owned my home based business now for 4yrs on facebook called Chillaxing Melts, Candles & Body Products I'm based in Australia but ship worldwide :)

[@linkuplifestylehub]

If we don’t have jojoba oil then what can we use instead of that ?

[@allienelson7446]

[@joelwilliams7598]

[@tyliahclark5171]

[@priyasinghari]

Yes you can

[@PositiveNature]

How long does the perfume scent last once it is applied to the skin?

[@virginpansea4617]

Its longger scent than spray perfumes

[@pilmuir1]

The Sun solid perfume only last a very short time was diss pointed

[@shannamehrdad2802]

a pyrex always works for me

[@viviangray5545]

why wont you use an eos lip balm and make the solid perfume in the empty eos container that way you don't have to use ur fingers?

[@polishedash1129]

+GLITERTASTIC oh that's brilliant. I was debating a chapstick tube as well.

[@xelykoyax2997]

Which oil can I use instead of JOjOBA OIL, please please help me.❣️❣️❣️👏🏾

[@zorathoustra]

Almond oil, neutral perfume

[@marra1100]

can paraffin wax(food grade) be used instead of beeswax?

[@bluepinkstar7552]

Whatvis the ratio of Jojoba oil to beeswax?

[@ilona7591]

So if you don't add the beeswax you basically have normal perfume? And the beeswax is only for making it solid?

[@craftycupcake2503]

yes

[@jkx33312]

could you use perfume instead of essential oil if your friend has a favorite scent?

[@JessicaChris1612]

Julie Doonan perfume tends to evaporate

[@oliverramos3951]

use fragrance oil instead of perfume

[@rachelamber3227]

Could you use a fragrance instead of the essential oils?

[@btsramen]

yes

[@travmagnet]

how long does it last?

[@zilinat1]

What about the warm days of the year?would it melt and ruin our bags or not!?!?

[@sarapumpkinpie]

As long as you dont leave it in your hot car or something like that you should be okay. Every day running around shouldnt make it hot enough to melt. If you're unsure though, just use a container that seals tightly.

[@KirbieJohnson]

Sara is right. The beeswax should be able to keep it as a solid as long as possible.

[@Ilovedallthepeople]

where can i get the bee wax?

[@elizabetabihler2875]

can I use vaseline instead?

[@carmencarran]

For What is the bees wax

[@helenarichard]

Where to get tins

[@pauline6213]

Can I use my regular perfume instead of the scented oils ?

[@HALI._.]

Not really

[@GeorgiaAllison]

instead of using oils, can you use your favourite perfume?

[@bujanaemini2504]

I was wondering the same thingggggg.... I hope I recieve an answer really fast😢😢😢

[@ikathiggs13]

Ooooh, that's how you pronounce jojoba...

[@MooNiQ6r]

Where can I find bee's wax and essential oils?

[@KirbieJohnson]

health food stores, vitamin shoppe, online, whole foods!

[@TeenyTinyCrafts]

Kirbie Johnson can I use candles to replace bees wax

[@dilawarkhan3131]

Agnès I think, yes u can

[@susanbarberyoga1664]

amazon

[@leenoyshloush5074]

did someone do it ? is it a good idea ? what essential oils did you use ? thanks :))

[@bibolda]

I didn't do yet, but I will going to do them. I think this is one of the best ideas because it don't have any chemicals.... From essential oils...You should use 1 bottom 1 middle and 1 top note. The bottom note will stay on your skin longer. What I suggest check your favorite perfume's ingredients and after you know go to a store to smell them, than you can choose what you like.

[@dhishmagrace6529]

will Vaseline jelly work instead of beeswax?? pls reply

[@elena-dg9cg]

Not even a little bit.

[@TheJudy63]

what else can i use in place of jojoba

[@craftycupcake2503]

olive, coconut, almond oil..

[@KRIS-sh8wp]

Avocado Oil & Grapeseed Oil work great too

[@viridianagomez490]

can i use a regular perfume ? with bee wax?

[@dexterhard]

yes you can 15/20 sprays dont use the cheap stuff

[@poojamohta2470]

Can i get the measurements

[@jennytsak]

could we use an actual perfume or would it not work because they are alcohol based???

[@KRIS-sh8wp]

I think it should work just fine bc that's what I plan on using in the very near to immediate future. But I'm going to use an EDP bc the more you stay away from using an EDT and/or EDT based fragrance, the less alcohol they contain. Good Luck ~ Be Blessed !!!

[@Carlazad]

U didn't say how many drops of EO or beeswax we should be using!!! I don't understand how come u took a lot of likes for this video.... I am not trying to be mean but seriously!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@annabelle7123]

she said it depends on the size of your container...

[@ITSKAL]

Basic rules: 40% Beeswax ,40% butter ( I prefer coconut ) , and 20% EO ( you can increase up to 30%,, but reduce from the 40% ,, the total must be 100%) good luck

[@cindyxu430]

Can I use chapstick instead of beeswax?

[@tree3223]

Yes

[@sophiegrannell1317]

can i use spray purfume instead of oils

[@helpingyougirlz5638]

Yes

[@helpingyougirlz5638]

Just be careful and wait til it's off the pan of water or else it can like catch on fire or something like that

[@julliette24]

Is there anything I can use besides beeswax? I really want to try this but I don't use animal products

[@KirbieJohnson]

I've heard coconut oil is an alternative, but I worry that it won't solidify completely.

[@HannahCobana]

I don't think coconut oil would be a good idea. I've got a jar of coconut oil and in the summer it completely melts and becomes complete liquid

[@aaronsun346]

Can I use vasaline instead of the wax?

[@kat-oc7qm]

Probably, but it won't be as firm as Bees Wax.

[@elisegetson7457]

No

[@aaronsun346]

it worked lmao

[@tamarazaccaria7581]

Do u hav to use beez wax

[@marissamunoz6717]

You can use soy wax

[@mandysun7067]

Where do u get bees wax?

[@bibolda]

Ebay

[@Kar3nab1gas]

someone can help me? I'm living in mexico and i don't know how to ask for the bees wax

[@waasup.rosebud6235]

I don't know how to spell it but it's called cera or Sera but yea

[@danielasarmiento30]

es cera de abeja. Yo lo he encontrado en macrobióticas. También puedes usar de soya

[@theresech]

How mutch Jojabaoil

[@aspuppylover99]

What happened to jack?

[@Zoe-nr4mr]

Can I use coconut oil instead?

[@jay2072]

+Zoe1223 no because coconut oil isn't as solid as beezwax, and will melt much quicker, as well as producing a stronger smell than the actual scent of the perfume.

[@craftycupcake2503]

instead jojoba oil? yes

[@shesgoingslightlymad]

Or u can just use oils & coconut oil.

[@cbbemily0355]

can i use coconut oil

[@flyingfranky]

Yea, has an awesome scent.

[@candyqueenify]

she has the coolest name ever

[@dhishmagrace6529]

anything instead of beeswax??

[@dogma71]

+Dhishma Grace Google Emulsifying Wax vegans use that.

[@alassea1698]

Soy wax ☺️

[@kathryncastanares525]

dogma71 emulsifying waxes aren't actually waxes and are used to emulsify oils and water together. i think you're thinking of soy wax?

[@coconone6034]

can i use candles instead of bees wax???? reply plz

[@craftycupcake2503]

u can

[@kathryncastanares525]

Coco None i wouldn't. unless you knew what all is in it. most waxes are totally fine, but some candles have ingredients that arent meant for topical applications.

[@analiesehogg767]

It's the same girl
