  • face balm is too waxy

    Posted by Anonymous on July 18, 2016 at 10:18 pm

    Hello,
       I purchased all-purpose balm from company and trying to replicate it. This company balm looks shiny and almost resembles vaseline texture and appearance. In my test our final product has a waxy final appearance (more like a candle would). We followed same ingredients and wondering if there is another ingredient that can help us achieve more of shiny finished balm. Below is list of ingredients company uesed to make their balm.  Thanks in advance

    cocos nucifera (virgin coconut) oil*, glycine soja (sweet soy) seed oil*, cera alba (beeswax)*, simmondsia chinesis (jojoba) seed oil*, jojoba esters, citrus aurantium dulcis (orange) peel wax, mangifera indica (mango) seed butter*, salvia hispanica (chia) seed extract (and) rosmarinus officinalis (rosemary) leaf extract*, avena sativa (oat kernel oil), limnanthes alba (meadowfoam) seed oil, tocopherol, vanilla planifolia fruit extract*

    If you want some suggestions on how to improve your balm you will need to provide your current formula with percentages.
