Great video! I am a soapmaker- I use shea butter in a lot of my products. I saw some of the other comments... I would also suggest using a double boiler. Also, shea butter loses its beneficial properties when you heat it. (It can scorch at a low temp.) I would suggest melting your beeswax with your carrier oils and then adding in the shea butter once it has been removed from the flame. It melts at about 82 degrees. I hope that helps. :)
Soap maker here and exact comment I was about to make. Only add on, be careful of what essential oils you add for this. Lime and sweet orange are two that are problematic with the sun. To be safe, read up on your essential oils first.
So I am trying to make my own beard balm but mine don't really have that much smell? When and how much oil should I add? I am wondering if I am doing something wrong.
Hello. I just happened upon your video. If I may, I would like to suggest a few enhancements to how you prepare your beard balm. I make all of my family's hair and body products and have been for many years. I make my husband's beard oil and butters too. When melting down your ingredients, it is much more recommended to use the double boiler method...direct heat is always a no-no. This helps to preserve nutrients, keeps chemical bods much more stable and predictable, and stops the chemicals in your pot from reacting with the ingredients. Next, you may want to think about whipping your mixture after letting it completely cool. This introduces air to produce a much lighter, easier to handle product. It will also give you more yield per batch. Hope this helps. Happy beard growing!
Casandra Smith Thanks so much! I have seen people use the double bouler method and always wondered the difference! Now I know 🤣 Haven't tried whipping it yet however I def plan on it!! Thanks Again!!
If you do the 'whip after completely cooling' step instead of pouring into the tins to cool and set, how do you manage the tinning process to still end up with neat tins of set product?
I'm self employed I make natural bar soaps whipped soap scrubs lip scrubs and now I'm adding Beard Balm to my collection. I'm glad I watched this video you reminded me I need BEESWAX
thanks for the recipe. just made my first batch. only change i made is that i subbed the carrier oils for Jojoba oil and castor oil, and used peppermint essential oil. can't wait to try it. cheers.
Use a double boiler!!! The bees wax will be horrendous when trying to wash it out of the pot you are using. Put a pot on the stove and fill it with some water (about 2 cups of water) let that simmer and then put a glass bowl that fits over the lip of the pot! It works amazing and is much more easier to work with! I make homemade natural products myself and using that method always does the job 100%. Cool video too btw!
AWESOME. Keep up the great work. Lots of good corrections noted here, but overall great job. And your beard IS evidence of this. Looks lush and healthy.
i have been making beard balm for a while now. I've learned using mango butter instead of shea butter helps the balm feel less greasy. i have some customers that don't want the oily feeling after applying beard balm. i aslo add kaolin clay to make it even less oily. just don't use raw beeswax with kaolin clay...it creates a "honey" scent to it. not sure why.
Thanks for a great video with instructions and source of products. I just started my beard, 6 weeks ago, I’m older. Always had a mustache. I make my own oils, probably just need beeswax and Shea butter.
What would its shelf life would be? I would like to get into making my own balm, but I would be worried about the left over ingredients going bad before I get a chance to to use it.
Hi there, great video! Might I suggest using a stainless steal double boiler, I make my own products and find that the stainless double boiler works the best. Thank you for sharing
Was there any hint of separation of ingredients, as it cooled? (like maybe the top or bottom having more oil versus wax or butter) Faster cooling in the fridge, just to make sure it remains a consistent solution, might be something to try.
Liked and subscribed! I've been giving it some serious thought into making my own beard butter. I think this pretty much just made up my mind. Cheers to you Sir, thanks for the info on how to do it.
To consider..the nutrtions in the oils and butter gets lost if they are too warm. I mean if one goes back and starts re-melting the stuff. Its only the beeswax that needs longer time to melt. Around 60 C I think.
Love'em. Thank you. Noticed that some of them cool in different shades. (Darker/lighter circles). Any thoughts onwhat causes this? Or it's normal? Thank you.
This is a fabulous video! Thank you so much for sharing your expertise and being open to suggestions as well... that is a rare combination in a person! Keep up the great work! Liked and subscribed!
I stayed tuned and you showed me! Thanks for this! I've been wanting to get out of the beard balm industrial complex (haha, kidding) and experiment with some of my own products.
hello great video , i am looking to mix the carrier oils - Argan, olive and jojoba oils (mixed with some essential oils for scent) can you please recommend what percent of those 3 carrier oils will I need to use please.. thanks love from London
You can use a fragrance oils instead of the essential oil he used. The sky is the limit...you can find them on Amazon or most soaping supply companies. Hope this helps. : )
Can I substitute shea butter with coco butter and would it be the same quantity with beeswax.would leave your beard style and hold not freasky tingled hair .nice introduction thank you
Hi, thanks for the video. I want to create my own beard balm, but I don't want to use the beeswax. Do you think the ingredients (butters and oils) will harden anyway, once cold, without beeswax?
Thanks for the great video! I'm wondering what are the quantities for larger batches? and is the beard balm much different from the moustache wax? I'm trying to start a business selling beard grooming products by doing it myself. Thanks
Mansour Barri Thanks for watching! I tried doubling the recipe for a couple batches and it worked great.. check out themanlinessskit.com link in the description for the other recipes.. they should work just fine by bulking all the ingredients to make however much you want! Good luck!
Hey there new viewer here. Glad we found your channel and look forward to more videos. I have never grown a beard before. I am 32 years old and never done it. Maybe it is time!!! I dont know that my wife will like it.
Hey there! thankss to you I've seen beard balm for the first time ever in Turkey. And guess whos product is this? Yeah, you guessed right. I made it thanks to you! But I've got one question. While I was shopping in the store I smelled the orange oil but didn't fit for my tase. I wanted a smell more manly or some smell like we always want to have but couldn't actually find. So what else would you recommend me? No lavander :) Great beard btw! Thanks in advance. :)
I would look for a Essential oil or Fragrance oil company that is near you or ships reasonably. You will need "usually" not always, but 2 times or 3 times more Fragrance Oil than Essential oil in products. Add a little then stir, then add more if needed. You can always add but not take away. Good luck!
Hi 🙂. I know you have probably figured it out by now but I make these for my husband and small business and I have used frankincense and sandalwood. I even sometimes mix them together and makes a good manly scent.
Hey, Thank you for the video. I hope, meanwhile, you're realized that you ad the essential oil at the end. Because they evaporate and lose the properties. Tip: squalan
@thefamilymixx - dude, that intro!!!! what!!!? A M A Z I N G !!!! that's superstar material. DO IT AGAIN, and you will become RUclips Celebrity. Starting a new blog on this DIY stuff myself. Man, I'm obsessed with soap making and now beard health... awesome stuff the love shown in the comments of how to improve techniques and material uses. We all love authentic fun filled info. Do more, please. #youtubecelebrity
Preston Harrington Thanks dude!! Yes the awesome comments I received will be put to good use for sure! Definitely have alot more of these planned very soon, life's been pretty crazy the last few weeks! Thanks again for the awesome comment 😎
You said low heat right what's the double boiler put a bowl n top of of a pot or can you cook it in a steamer by putting your bowl on top of the steamer with the holes and watch it melt away from there
Richard Reynolds I haven't tried it yet but yes I think you put a pot inside of a pot of water and bring the water to a boil. Then add the ingredients. I honestly haven't researched it yet but I'm sure there is a video on here about it.
How to make a best balm for get white beard to black ? Coz my some beard are going to gray & i want to stop & reverse or colour by home made balm. Answer me please. Thank you.
Be careful with Castor oil. It has great BCAA’s and other nutrient values for the beard but it’s REALLY damaging and drying for beards. The percentage of castor oil in your carrier oil blend wants to be about 10%, no more. I use 10% Castor, 30% Coconut, 30% Jojoba and 30% Argan. Do not use equal amounts of castor. I almost RUINED my beard completely when first starting out making my own oils by using too much Castor oil in the mix. It fried my beard. Rectified it, reduced the castor percentage and it’s been good since.
Can u use avocado oil for the carrier oil I also got some grape seed sweet almond and coconut oil mix in together can u use those as well for the carrier oil in stead of the Aragon oil or jojoba oil
Anthony Villa yes it kind of does which I actually don't mind, but one commenter mentioned using mango butter instead of Shea butter for a less oily/greasy feel..

@@thefamilymixx hey did you ever get around to trying to whip it? Id be interested to hear your thoughts on this
I wonder how the body gets rid of the beewax. It is naturally waterproof and can't be washed off or absorbed by skin.
@@aykutdizdar if the body can't absorb it or wash it off, it'll be removed when your skin is replaced.
I'm self employed I make natural bar soaps whipped soap scrubs lip scrubs and now I'm adding Beard Balm to my collection. I'm glad I watched this video you reminded me I need BEESWAX

Oh my gosh, you got me with that opening line ("What's more manly than growing a big, beautiful beard? Well...nothin')! 😂😂😂
Mother Esque Bath & Body haha thanks.. it took me a couple takes to get it right.. kept laughing before I could get through it 🤣
I have been looking to make a balm for my beard and my wife has all the ingredients from her candle and soap making.
Thanks mate!

I'm just finding this video, but I'm excited to give it a try. Thanks.
I'm so glad i came across this video. I'm planning on doing the same thing and using pine and cedarwood essential oils.
Great video I used eucalyptus essential oil

Gnome Beard Awesome!! Thanks for the tip! Def gonna try this as well!
What’s your brand called?
Great but I suggest using a double boiler on med heat
Damien Platt I definitely plan on trying this method on my next batch! Thanks!
Great video! I'll be trying this! Thank you ... Fyi double boiler is awesome also. 👍
A real man would show us how to get the wax straight from the bees, not get it out of a packet?
Awesome video. Just gave this a try and did it in 5 mins! However the smell of essential oils is very faint 😢
Thanks for a great video with instructions and source of products. I just started my beard, 6 weeks ago, I’m older. Always had a mustache. I make my own oils, probably just need beeswax and Shea butter.
Some folks’ skin react poorly with citrus oils but they smell amazing.

Great tutorial. Use a double boiler to prevent things getting burned.
Lol it’s kinda weird that I’m an almost 13 year old girl watching this but I’m making this for my dad for Christmas 🎄 lol
To consider..the nutrtions in the oils and butter gets lost if they are too warm. I mean if one goes back and starts re-melting the stuff. Its only the beeswax that needs longer time to melt. Around 60 C I think.
Hey this is a Great instruction on how to make my own beard oil...damn I just left the stores to get all this stuff ..where do I get the tin cans
Do a search for "balm tins" at Amazon.

Look Who's Blogging Thanks for stopping by! No I gave a few of them out.. It'll get used up I'm sure 🤑

Brunno Parana Thank You! I will be filming a beard oil video soon!

Fractionated Coconut Oil, Sweet Almond Oil, Argan Oil, Jojoba Oil, Aloe Extract, Vitamin E , Beard Oil . Lust Bath Luxuries
You should try cedar wood essential oil it is amazing for hair. I use young living brand when I make it😊
I stayed tuned and you showed me! Thanks for this! I've been wanting to get out of the beard balm industrial complex (haha, kidding) and experiment with some of my own products.
You should make an updated video of this but use the double boiler method
Great video and tunes!!
Loooove the intro. Watching from Jamaica 🇯🇲
hello great video , i am looking to mix the carrier oils - Argan, olive and jojoba oils (mixed with some essential oils for scent) can you please recommend what percent of those 3 carrier oils will I need to use please.. thanks love from London
Great video!! What would you suggest to give a balm a leather smell??
Dimebag4510 I think it's a great idea...
You can use a fragrance oils instead of the essential oil he used. The sky is the limit...you can find them on Amazon or most soaping supply companies. Hope this helps. : )
Dimebag4510 There is a fragrance oil called "Wild West" that smells like a saddle. . www.indigofragrance.com/
Can I substitute shea butter with coco butter and would it be the same quantity with beeswax.would leave your beard style and hold not freasky tingled hair .nice introduction thank you
Super easy ....thanks 👍👍👍👍
Reggie Tinsley thanks for watching!
Hi, thanks for the video. I want to create my own beard balm, but I don't want to use the beeswax. Do you think the ingredients (butters and oils) will harden anyway, once cold, without beeswax?
You can try substituting the beeswax with coconut oil (which is considered a carrier oil). It will harden below I certain temperature.
thanks I'm going to try
On the 16th I got some coco butter and beeswax and 24 beard balm tin on the way
+Richard Reynolds Niiiice good luck
Amy way of making this have more hold?
What's more manly than growing beard.
That's is facing what ever the life throws to you .
I think .Nothing is more manly than this .
Looks legit. Wish we had smellavision.
Lol not sure what you mean..
@@thefamilymixx Smell-o-vision, where you can smell what you watch.
I want to smell that balm too.
awesome job
OMG, the intro almost killed me. "What's more manly than growing a big, beautiful beard? Well...nothin'

Mustache was has more beeswax in it...beard balm is normally at 1:4 ratio/ beeswax to oil and mustache wax is 1:2...based on what I have researched.
Badass would biotin be a good addition in the blend?
Where can I buy supplies to make my own beard balm
Can I just use vitamin e oil instead of all the carrier oils? Tia
Hey there new viewer here. Glad we found your channel and look forward to more videos. I have never grown a beard before. I am 32 years old and never done it. Maybe it is time!!! I dont know that my wife will like it.
Mendoza Family DO IT!! lol! Thanks for watching! And the awesome comment!!
You should try it... follow the recipe, and I think u might wanna whip the butter/balm/mixture after it has solidified.
Nice! But is it not more expensive as you've to buy all of the ingredients?
Great video
Very cool! Thanks for sharing 👍
Pages And Polish Thanks!! And thank you for watching 🤣
I heard grapeseed oil is a dht blocker. Not sure if that's true, but to be safe I switched it with jojoba oil. Gotta do an oil video
Thanks! I haven't heard that until now.. appreciate it and thanks for watching!
Nice recipe...and some good tips here in the comments!

Both shea butter and and Cocoa butter can clog pores.
When should apply it ..
Hey brother so were do you get all the stuff?
Hey, Thank you for the video. I hope, meanwhile, you're realized that you ad the essential oil at the end. Because they evaporate and lose the properties.
Tip: squalan
I would have used the balm for a bit before making mass quantities of it, just Incase you wanted to change smell or consistency.

Brunno Parana one comment or suggested using mango butter instead of Shea butter.. not sure what might be a good substitute for beeswax..?

48 tins for 60$ and about an hours or so...hell yeah!
Does the beardbalm come off with bodywash or shampoo?
Can u use avocado oil for the carrier oil I also got some grape seed sweet almond and coconut oil mix in together can u use those as well for the carrier oil in stead of the Aragon oil or jojoba oil
+Richard Reynolds that will definitely work
The beeswax that I got is a solid 5oz stick how do you store it
Richard Reynolds I'd probably just wrap it in plastic wrap or put it in a Ziploc..
Mine is literally just sitting in my pantry in a wicker basket and has been for 2 years. it is very resilient. :)
Thanks :)
does this mixture leave a very oily feel afterwards
Anthony Villa yes it kind of does which I actually don't mind, but one commenter mentioned using mango butter instead of Shea butter for a less oily/greasy feel..
I liked it bc of the into made me laugh haha
Haha Thanks man!
Hey, is it shiny when it is in the beard? I’m not a huge fan of the balms that look oily when in the beard. Thanks
Jus don't use too much of the stuff. Ot will get absorbed into the skin
Would the balm expire?
Hey. The recipe on that website says 1.5 table spoons of butter but you used 2. Does it make a difference?
I just bought the white ivory beeswax 1lb bag for 10$ a 7oz shea butter for 10 and 12beard balm tin for 11 if that's a good deal
Does it matter if the Shea Butter is Organic..?
How many tablespoon of coconut oil should I use

Yes I just made a beard oil actually! Video coming soon!
No I mean have you ever used a beard oil in your balm instead of putting the essential oils in
No haven't tried that..
thefamilymixx ok I appreciate it I think it will work the oils are mostly the same of what you use. I'm gonna try it if it works I'll let you know
