Teach Soap

I know I ask alot of these substitution questions but I am one of those people who try and work with what I got in the kitchen too, I call it my throw togethers LOL (cream of chicken and mushroom soup are great for those dishes LOL), but is there a way to make lip balm without beeswax? Also no one answered my earlier post but I wanted to make a "whipped cream" soap with salt, I want scent it with Apple Jack Peel but I don't have and do not want to buy KOH can I make whipped soaps without the KOH or is that a key ingredient? I get more confident everyday with my abilities and I love all of these goodies. And there is so much garbage on the internet that it reall helps me to have a forum like this were people really know what their talking about, thanks everyone.

You can make lip balm without beeswax. What oils and butters do you have on hand?
I know people that have melted CP soap scraps down, added distilled water & a preservative and whipped it (with a Kitchenaid) into a really lovely cream soap. Try it.

Awesome Soapbuddy. i have shea, mango, cocoa butter. Sunflower, safflower, canola, castor, sweet almond, coconut, olive, palm, and palm kernal oils. As well as lard. I also have ewax, phenonip (is that needed in balm), stearic acid. Will any of taht work.

Ok, try using the cocoa butter as a sub for your beeswax, as it's a hard butter. Then use the 3rds formula (1/3 oils, 1/3 butters, 1/3 beeswax). From your oils I would use the ones with a longer shelf life: sweet almond, coconut, olive
butters: shea, mango
beeswax: sub cocoa butter

You don't need phenonip for lip balm.

I totally read that as "earwax". Got up too early this morning.
