I use a double boiler still and melt my bee's wax and cocoa butter separate. The OCD, control issue, I have!!!❤❤❤ I put sodium hydroxide or citric acid to control the ph. All skincare products should fall between 4 5 to 5 5. The natural ph of your skins mantle.

These are so nice. Im glad this can be used right after sitting in the fridge. I really want to try this. You made making this so easy. Thank you.

[@meowmeow5938]

so I'm a bit skincare formulation obsessed, and essentially, the reason they need to lower the PH of lotions with sodium hydroxide is because your skin's natural PH is around a 5.5/6! and a lot of the time, formulations would be far too acidic without it. it's also the same reason citric acid is used in some skincare products! consistently putting something that's too high or too low in PH can lead to some pretty nasty skin problems

[@osieg]

Would you be able to use citric acid in this type of recipe? I’m new to this. Just learning. I made a moisturizer and used a touch of CA to lower the PH. Thank you.

[@jeangreenfield5993]

Sodium hydroxide is only for soap making It is never in a skin lotion, it would burn you. Citric Acid (vitamin C) yes

[@jeangreenfield5993]

Liquid soap uses potassium hydroxide BTW

[@meowmeow5938]

@@osieg if you need to raise the PH for some reason, then yes! Citric acid and sodium hydroxide are used to balance out PH. As long as the overall PH is within a reasonable margin, it'll be fine. So sorry I didn't reply sooner :)

Hi Karen, I enjoyed your video making those lotion bars…they looked fabulous…thank you for being so kind to share the recipe and method with us…I have 2 questions…I live in the Caribbean and it’s very hot there, do I store them in the refrigerator and did you mix the mica with alcohol before you brushed it on the bars ? Looking forward to more of your vids…

[@EdensSecret1]

Yes lotion bars can melt slightly in a hot country so maybe try another 10% beeswax on top of what I have in recipe Question, is cocoa butter solid when you store it at home? If it’s not I think you’ll need a fridge to keep them in and I brushed the bars with dry mica no rubbing alcohol

[@nanomc3174]

@@EdensSecret1 Thank you Karen for your speedy reply….yes, my cocoa butter stays solid at room temp, but I think I will up the beeswax a little and see how that works…😊

[@_MYSTIC_]

Great tutorial. These massage bars sound delicious! Thank you. On a side note: Please don't cut any ingrediant into your hand like that. Massive health and safety basic. With a knife that size you could really do yourself some damage too. And it would be typical that someone sees it here, copies it and comes a cropper. And for those waiting to jump on this... no I'm not a Karen. Just really concerned for the creator's hands, and anyone who choses to copy. Yes she may have been doing it that way for ages but it really doesn't matter. Plus none of this is said in malice. (And isn't it crazy that I feel I have to pre-protect myself like this just because I have a comment with an opinion that I'm adding to the comment section.)

[@lynnbiggs9565]

Hi Karen, have you had any feedback from anyone between the massage bars with carrier oil and without, any feelings on if either is liked better?

[@EdensSecret1]

I haven't but I prefer them without simply because you don't need as much beeswax to make them set up fully

[@wandab2917]

Great Tutorial ❤️ Can I substitute The cocoa butter and use Kokum butter instead?

[@EdensSecret1]

Better to substitute the shea for kokum if you dont have cocoa you will need to add much more beeswax if using shea n kokum and im just guessing here Try 30% shea 30% kokum with 40% beeswax so your bar will set up properly

[@wandab2917]

@@EdensSecret1 Ok, Thank you so much 😊

[@tj8114]

FYI: to thoroughly sanitize with 70% isopropyl alcohol, it should sit on surface for at least 30 seconds. Also, surprisingly, 70% is better bcuz 90% IPA evaporates too fast. I was surprised by that.

[@b3tchainc835]

Why did you spoon not pour? Product loss?

[@sharongraham1492]

I can't wait to try these again. Your cocoa butter looks a lot more dry and brittle than the cocoa butter I get here in Canada. I have not been able to get mine to harden more than a firm vaseline. Maybe it's because of my cocoa butter being smoother looking? I followed the previous recipes exactly, and it was disastrous. I do buy the refined/deodorized cocoa butter. Do you think that's the reason?

[@michellef9001]

Where are you ordering from? I’m from Canada and I’ve ordered both deodorized and natural cocoa butter. I found the deodorized harder but both are harder then as you described it

[@EdensSecret1]

I buy the refined cocoa too, there will be different grades of cocoa, I remember I used to buy a shea butter that was very emollient, as though oil had been added to make it softer, then somebody told me you can get cheaper variations of the stuff, so I always buy mine from better suppliers now.

[@sharongraham1492]

@@EdensSecret1 yes agreed. I only buy from top sellers in Canada. So maybe I need to add more to make the lotion bar firm.

[@spiritualwingsllc7538]

Those are cute but how well does it latter? It did shea butter, coco butter soap it came out soft. But now I know to make it firm to add bees was. I didn't think to use some beeswaxs.

Hi Karen I hope you and your family are well. I have a big question...Can we replace the Shea Butter with Palm Oil? I have a daughter in law that is highly allergic to Shea Butter. Thank you Karen. Also, I can't wait until you come back. I hope it soon.

[@jaylaw6970]

Most available palm oil offers no benefits, especially when compared to many other available oils... Can also clog skin pores...

[@antheapayne9416]

Maybe try using mango butter or avo butter instead

[@lisaimhof6549]

So this may be a dumb question. With epoxy resin you can dust the mica on the mold directly then pour the epoxy. Could you do that with this as well?

[@Heartwing37]

I think the only issue may just be control. Painting on the bars allows a great deal of control but pouring the hot soap I would shift or absorb the mica. Because the exothermic reaction with epoxy starts in the center, the mica bonds to the cooler exterior of the resin. You could try it though…

[@frodosdojo]

Love your visions so down to earth x but can not bear useing fragrance oils or smell them on any one I get a really bad elergic reaction I wish thayd be band I cart use public transport or mix I wish people would think about the toxins in them

[@pattycake5842]

Most people don’t have that issue but sorry you do. I think she makes unscented also

[@marlenekramer6372]

Bea: Fragrance oils are specifically made for skincare application and are quite safe. They are not toxic. If you have a particular sensitivity to them, I suggest you study essential oils which may be a better choice for your particular application.

[@Roxy222uk]

Probably, Bea, you are reacting to an allergen within the fragrance oil (allergens are also in essential oils) and if you could pin down which one you'd be able to work out which products you are okay with and which you must avoid. The EU and UK require 26 allergens to be declared on labels. Google to find a list of the 26 allergenic substances. These are not toxic, just the most common substances that people have allergies to. You may have seen 'linalool' or 'hexyl cinnamal' at the end of an ingredient list, for example, and that's what they are.

[@dinkyloves40]

Where is Karen? Shes just disappeared.

[@liz_shamuhd6612]

Is this lotion bar?

[@pattycake5842]

Basically but softer most lotion bars are equal parts of the ingredients. This recipe has more cocoa butter I’m guessing for moisturizing purposes.

[@EdensSecret1]

Yes commonly known as a lotion bar also

[@shauntikayvette]

Sanitizer without gloves seems pointless

[@jaylaw6970]

And putting the knife on an unclean top and not then re cleaning it. I'd clean the top before I put anything on it. And containers are kept off the area I would use to cut on etc... Also, paper towels are known to hold dust, fibres and worse! Sterilised cloths are best. Do them yourself so you can rely on what you use

[@jaylaw6970]

Microwaves destroy oil benefits. As they ruin food nutrition.... Avoid where possible. These basic reasons are why I started making my own... Charging for natural goods after using systems including microwaves, should say so on the container. Then we have choice and can buy the best for our cash.

[@letstalkaboutlife493]

ive found out they put sodium hydroxide in some tooth paste

[@marlenekramer6372]

It is used in making bagels also.

Hi Karen .. Your butters look really good but are they really soft ?

@@barbaraayala7808 convert the recipe to percentages. Any recipe you get. Then run a 100g test batch (or 50g). So if it was 25% wax, it would be 25g wax (or 17.5g if your batch weight is 50g). Also, there are differences between suppliers and even batches with suppliers. Natural butters just vary. Cocoa butter is probably the only consistent butter I've seen as far as consistency goes. It's a bit of a chore to test, but you save in the end. Nothing stings more than a big, bad batch 😆

How do we know she washed her hands prior, and repeatedly through out the video? It's just ICKY! Seeing how you make this, I'd NEVER buy from you. You can "sanitize" your hands all you want, but you're constantly shedding skin cells, hair, etc AND your body will replenish the oils on your skin very quickly. I just can't... I'm sure your bars are great, but knowing that you used bare hands would deter me from buying these for sure, and anything else you make because of the assumption that you do the same with every other product you make. Please do everyone, especially your clients, a favor and take the extra moment to put on latex gloves or something of the like. It's very cringe that you stick your bare hands into something you sell. You even left in the part where you pulled a hair out of the oils with your bare hands.
