Teach Soap

I am making baby cream with the following recipe:

8 oz grapseed oil and 4 oz sweet almond oil infused with:
.3 oz comfrey leaf
.5 oz chamomile flower
.5 oz lavender flower
2 drops lavender EO
2 drops calendula oil

My question is, the recipe I'm going off of (http://www.lifelearning.org/2006/03/rec ... ula-cream/) recommends beeswax. I have beeswax but it seem like it would be too hard of a wax to work well in this recipe. Has anyone made this or something similar? Or have recommendations for other thickening ingredients (hopefully an inexpensive one so this cream is affordable for my customers)?

That's not a cream; that's more like a balm. If you add some beeswax, it will thicken it into a balm.
You can also use Vege Thix to thicken it. The Herbarie carries it.

You can add the beeswax and, at the right amounts, it will not be hard like a hard balm, but spreadable like a somewhat (little) stiff butter. It is a great consistency for a baby/baby bum. I would not use a different wax, as they are twice the hardness of the beeswax, so if you do use, use at 1/2 the amount that the beeswax is called for.
This is a great baby recipe, I've used similar and it was loved. Much luck!

Thanks everyone! I'll stick with the beeswax. Looking forward to when those oils are done infusing
