[@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]

[@LauraNeuzeth]

I loved this! Such a great idea.

[@madysonimann930]

[@Vicky-iv1vk]

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

[@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

[@TrueChristina]

Love how your put it in the locket too :)

[@amandacrisp0716]

This is such a cute idea

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

[@amedyassine]

Lovely ❤️

[@rachelsweets]

Thank you beauty

[@luzhdzz1926]

awsome :) cool idea

[@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

[@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.

[@sylwia22132]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@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

[@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!

[@fomoc2184]

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

[@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.

[@misheelganbat109]

can i use burst bees beeswax lipblam? please help

[@Man-ej6uv]

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

[@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 

[@pilmuir1]

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

[@bellacool1]

I need some ideas which essential oils to mix

[@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.

[@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 :)

[@rutwadave7279]

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

[@GeorginaCampos]

[@bitspieces5668]

[@shannamehrdad2802]

[@marra1100]

[@hellowmoons4089]

[@allienelson7446]

[@joelwilliams7598]

[@helenarichard]

[@Ilovedallthepeople]

[@bluepinkstar7552]

Whatvis the ratio of Jojoba oil to beeswax?

[@carmencarran]

For What is the bees wax

[@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.

[@kuutarettaretful]

Can you use other oils instead of jojoba oil (like coconut oil)?

[@priyasinghari]

Yes you can

[@elizabetabihler2875]

[@ilona7591]

[@craftycupcake2503]

[@rachelamber3227]

Could you use a fragrance instead of the essential oils?

[@btsramen]

yes

[@xelykoyax2997]

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

[@zorathoustra]

Almond oil, neutral perfume

[@poojamohta2470]

Can i get the measurements

[@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.

[@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...

[@pauline6213]

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

[@HALI._.]

Not really

[@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

[@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 !!!

[@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.

[@candyqueenify]

she has the coolest name ever

[@dhishmagrace6529]

will Vaseline jelly work instead of beeswax?? pls reply

[@elena-dg9cg]

Not even a little bit.

[@viridianagomez490]

[@theresech]

[@TheJudy63]

[@craftycupcake2503]

olive, coconut, almond oil..

[@KRIS-sh8wp]

Avocado Oil & Grapeseed Oil work great too

[@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

[@shesgoingslightlymad]

Or u can just use oils & coconut oil.

[@mandysun7067]

Where do u get bees wax?

[@bibolda]

Ebay

[@aspuppylover99]

What happened to jack?

[@tamarazaccaria7581]

Do u hav to use beez wax

[@marissamunoz6717]

You can use soy wax

[@cindyxu430]

Can I use chapstick instead of beeswax?

[@tree3223]

Yes

[@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

[@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

[@cbbemily0355]

can i use coconut oil

[@flyingfranky]

Yea, has an awesome scent.

[@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

[@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

[@kittycute9149]

I am here becos of daydreamer I hope that i will make perfumes like sanem😂😂

[@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

[@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
