Ingredients:

Phase A

Phase B

Cooldown

  • 0.5 g (0.02 oz) Preservative

Equipment:

Instructions:

  • Place all the phase A ingredients into a heat-proof container( BTMS 50,
    Cetyl Alcohol, cocoa butter, and olive oil)
    30 g BTMS-50 Emulsifying Wax, 6.5 g Cetyl Alcohol, 5 g Cocoa Butter, 2.5 g Olive Oil
    The phase a ingredients are measured into a beaker
  • Place the beaker into a bain marie or a shallow pan of simmering water, ensuring the water is not so high that the beaker is moving around. Let it sit in the simmering water until the waxes and butter completely melt.
    The beaker with our phase a ingredients have been placed into a water bath
  • While the wax is melting we can prepare our phase B ingredients. In a small beaker, weigh and mix the Glycerine, Distilled Water, and goat's milk powder. Once combined add the Lavender Essential Oil and set aside.
    1 g Glycerine, 1 g Distilled Water, 3 g Goats Milk, 0.5 g Lavender Essential Oil
    The phase b ingredients are weighed into a seperate vessel
  • Make sure you have the mold ready and waiting as the waxes can begin to harden quite quickly after removing them from the heat.  
    The molds sit next to our phase b ingredients
  • Once the wax has melted, remove it from the heat and stir in the phase B ingredients.
    Phase b is mixed into phase a
  • Continue stirring until it cools to 60c then add the remaining cooldown ingredient, the preservative. You will need to work quickly here stirring before it starts to solidify.
    0.5 g Preservative
    The preservative is added to our mixture
  • As soon as you have stirred the preservative in, pour it into the molds.
    The mixture is poured into our mold
  • Place the mold into the refrigerator to harden, this can take a couple of hours. Once the conditioning bar has hardened, it is ready to be removed from the mold.
    The mixture has hardened in the fridge and are realsed from the mold

Notes:

This conditioner bar should last for 12 to 18 months if stored in a cool dry place. Once you start using the bar, keep it on a vented soap holder so that it doesn't go soft.  We find that if you use it on your hair twice a week this one bar will last you a good 6 months, if not more.
