As my beard gets longer, I find that I rarely use balm anymore. What I do use nightly is beard butter. I make my own with similar ingredients to your balm. No beeswax of course. For the butter I melt the same amount of shea butter & coconut oil (solid). I melt these in a Pyrex jug in the microwave. When they are liquid, I add jojoba oil, argon oil, caster oil & hemp seed oil. I don’t bother with essential oils. I pour the mixture into a glass container & when it returns to room temperature, I have my butter. My beard loves it.
Been trying to master the beard butter consistency for a few weeks now, cant seem to get it right. Would love you recipe to give it a go :) if you wouldnt mind of course
I'll be honest the internet has conditioned me into hating essential oils cause of "those" people. hahaha I've just started growing my beard about 4 months in. still stuck to my face atm. should I use something like this or should I wait till it's longer
Parabens pelo conteudo. Tenho apenas algumas considerações: alguns óleos essenciais são dermocausticos, cuidado podem causar sensibilidade na pele, como a canela e o cravo. Outros mancham as mãos e a pele como os óleos cítricos. E a quantidade de óleo essencial para sua segurança, deveria estar entre 1 e 3% do total de produtos de sua formula. Uma vez que sera usada no rosto. Faça um teste de alergia (ao cheiro) e tambem na pele, para ver se nao surgem coceira etc. Segurança com produtos naturais ou mesmo os produtos quimicos para produção de cosmeticos! Espero não ter sido rude com meu comentário. Se não quiser considerá-lo, por favor, apaguem. Obrigada
Great question. The water should as enough as a sink sink that it'll regulate the temperature better. Steam can get hotter than 100 degrees but it would help
It's gone harder on top due to the fact that the wax will slowly rise to the top as it's setting , could maybe mitigate this buy popping it in the fridge? Thanks for the video , great info. I will be trying this next week when my order arrives , cheers.
Not sure if anyone pointed it out or if you have change the method but a Double Boil should have a bowl that sit ON the RIM of the POT. Having the glass straight on the pot bottom defeats the purpose of a double boil, although yes it will still lower the chance of burning. If burner is to high it can still happen. BEARD ON!
if you like citrus you may like ylang Essential oil i found it really good and my beard was so soft after using it mine was a oil tho not a balm so i might try your recipie with the balm
I’ve made my own balms for years, I had issues with them feeling grainy. If you have this problem, put your tins in the freezer immediately after pouring them. Since I did this I’ve had no issues with grainy balms. Great video!!

Hi mate, do you have exact quantities of all the ingredients you use for your butter? No worries if not - cheers!
Great video Sir!
just a Question do you make your own Beard oil aswell if so a Video on that would be Great
Cheers mate great information I work in warehouse what’s something you would recommend for me. Hot then cold or in between.
Choose something a little softer with a 1 third bees wax 2 thirds butters - that;ll hive you a nice balance I think!

If you lay a wash cloth in the bottom of the pan, you won’t take a chance of breaking your bowl plus no rattle noises.
Don't put essential oils when pot is in hot water it'll evaporate all scent
That's a great tip! You are right!
Nice video. To avoid direct heat damage, shouldn't the glass bowl not make contact with the bottom of the metal pan?
The water acts as a heat sink so draws the heat away...it would be better if the glass didn't touch the bottom...
Great question. The water should as enough as a sink sink that it'll regulate the temperature better. Steam can get hotter than 100 degrees but it would help
Good video. I like how you gone into detail about some of the stuff while other videos I have watched don't. I will have to try to make this.
Would cocoa butter be an suitable replacement for beeswax?
It would most probably, be more of a replacement, for the shea butter.
Love this video. I see you don’t seem to have any newer videos on your channel but I have subscribed and plan to go through your library. Cheers!

Iiite so I ordered everything and am about to make it.
I’m wondering about the ratio. Have you ever tried “bearded goons” is your waxier ?
I’ve made my own balms for years, I had issues with them feeling grainy. If you have this problem, put your tins in the freezer immediately after pouring them. Since I did this I’ve had no issues with grainy balms. Great video!!
BGP, how many ml did you get with this 50:50 ratio?
For essential oils I like cedar and pine
does it work for beard growth
AMAZING! Thanks
Glad you like it!
Love the way how patiently you're guiding the process step by step! Very helpful thanks
A pleasure!
