Butter Bars - Winter Issues Bar and Aging Well Acai Bar November 27 2020, 0 Comments

"Lotion Bar"  or a "Butter Bar" is a mix of your favorite butters and oils made harder (higher melting point) by a wax.

The end result is a solid bar that you apply on your skin much like a surfer puts wax on her board.

I recommend adjusting the recipe for colder or hotter places, I keep my place at about 77 degrees and these bars apply well, the acai bar is a bit softer as I wanted since it will go on the sensitive skin of your chest and neck.

For a mold you can use waxed paper cups, silicone soap molds or even use wax paper to line a wood or glass mold. Since these were made on a whim, I used the only thing I had home - Solo shot cups, far from ideal but they worked.

I use "parts" for my recipe to make it easier for you to make it any size you want, just follow the proportions.

You will need:

  • Medium sized pan. 

  • Very clean glass jar (or a double boiler if you have those, just remember, wax is a pain to clean.)

  • Mold.

  • A clean rag or kitchen towel.

    Winter Skin Issues Bar

    Aging-well Neck And Chest Acai Bar 

    How to Make:
    Melt wax first, after it is all melted add butters and then after the mix is liquid add oil, check if the oil have hardened the wax, if it does, melt for a bit longer, if not take out of the heat.

    JAR WILL BE HOT! Dry the jar well so no water gets in your bar and pour melted contents into your mold. Bars should be hard in no time, if you live in a hot place pop them in the fridge for a few minutes.
    I hope you enjoy it!

    HP SOAP - Hardware and Ingredients. April 01 2020, 0 Comments

    So here it goes that recipe for my AMAZING HP soap.

    I am sharing two recipes, one using exclusively my products and a cheaper to make version that uses shea butter and coconut oil.

    The tutorial with pictures and videos will be online in the next two days.

    THE HARDWARE:

    • a scale, you can find decent ones on eBay for about 11 bucks. In soap making, everything is measured by weight, even the liquids.

    • a food thermometer.

    • a crock-pot (for my personal soaps I use my own kitchen crock-pot, since the lye will be totally saponified by the end of the process I think it is safe, some people disagree).

    • a stick blender.

    • a mold (a milk or juice box will work, just turn it sideways and cut one side. No need to line).

    • protective gear if needed - gloves, glasses, mask, an apron.

    THE INGREDIENTS:

    • sodium hydroxide (lye) - for a small amount check out this site, if you want to buy larger amounts you can try soapmaking stores or even eBay.

    • fragrance - depending on it - EO or fragrance oils - you will need about 0.5 oz. to 1 oz. I prefer not to use scents, this is such a special face soap, it doesn't really need to smell good too.

    • distilled water.

    RECIPE ONE - CHICA PRODUCTS

    • Babassu oil - 2 oz.

    • Brazil nut oil - 4 oz.

    • Cupuacu butter - 8 oz.

    • Murumuru butter - 2 oz.

    • Andiroba oil - 4 oz.

    • Castor oil - 2 oz. (this oil has a very unique fatty acid profile and adds special properties to the soap, I am selling some of my personal oil in 2 oz bottles but you can find it pretty much anywhere).

    • SUPERFAT OIL OR BUTTER - 1 oz. For the superfat you will use the oil or butter you want the soap to have the properties - for example, add a "hair" oil and it is a shampoo bar, add pracaxi and it is a great bar for hyper pigmentation, you can also add a butter or a blend.

    • Distilled water - 8.36 oz.

    • Sodium hydroxide - 3.11 oz.

    RECIPE TWO

    • Coconut oil - 4 oz.

    • Brazil nut oil - 4 oz.

    • Shea butter - 8 oz.

    • Andiroba oil - 4 oz.

    • Castor oil - 2 oz. (this oil has a very unique fatty acid profile and adds special properties to the soap, I am selling some of my personal oil in 2 oz bottles but you can find it pretty much anywhere)

    • SUPERFAT OIL OR BUTTER - 1 oz. For the superfat you will use the oil or butter you want the soap to have the properties - for example, add a "hair" oil and it is a shampoo bar, add pracaxi and it is a great bar for hyper pigmentation, you can also add a butter or a blend.

    • Distilled water - 8.36 oz.

    • Sodium hydroxide - 3.03 oz.

    You can add a good quality EO but the natural scent of these butters and oils is delicious. 

    Melt butters in a clean, dry glass jar in a pot with water over medium heat, after they are fully melted add Urucum extract. You whip this butter or not. If you decide to melt it, wait until it is fully cool down at room temperature and whip it, if it is still too soft, then put in the fridge for a little bit and whip again.
