Ingredients:

Phase A

Phase B

Equipment:

Instructions:

  • In a heatproof container, weigh the phase A ingredients.
    32.5 g BTMS-50 Emulsifying Wax, 7.5 g Cetyl Alcohol, 2.5 g Cocoa Butter, 3.5 g Mango Butter, 2.5 g Sea Buckthorn Oil
    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.
    Our phase b ingredients are placed in a water bath to melt
  • Once the wax has melted, we can add our phase B ingredients. This will include your vitamin E, orange essential oil, and lemon essential oil. Once combined add the Lavender Essential Oil and set aside.
    0.5 g Vitamin E Oil, 0.25 g Orange Essential Oil, 0.25 g Lemon Essential Oil
    Our phase b ingredients are added to the beaker
  • Also, 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 mixture is stirred
  • The next part needs to be done swiftly to avoid the wax becoming hard.  Add the the preservative and stir well to make sure it is fully dispersed within the wax but, work fast as we need to it to the mold.
    0.5 g Preservative
    Preservative is added to the mixture
  • Now, pour the mixture into our mold. If can pour it great, if not help it into the mold with a spatula, pressing it down so that it gets into all of the corners, and smoothing the top. If the wax becomes so solid that it's unmanipulatable, pop it back into the water bath and gently heat it through until it's pourable.
    The mixture is poured into molds
  • 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 we can remove it 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.
