hi everyone!!

hope everyone enjoyed their weekend.

i have a question about beeswax. i get conflicting answers from different sites.

what is the correct ratio for oil to beeswax to get pliable slave? nothing too hard, but not too soft.

thanks so much again. :mrgreen:

I use beeswax at 20% in a tattoo balm that I make and it is almost pliable but a little thicker than I think you are looking for. I also use cocoa butter in it at 10% so that also helps with the hardening factor. I would say 15% would be a good starting point to make it pliable but not runny if you only plan on using oils and no butters. Maybe 10% beeswax if you plan on adding any butters. Then adjust from there till you find what you like. HTH.

Most of the salve recipes I've come across use 1 fluid cup of oil to 1 ounce by weight of beeswax.

I usually do 5:1 oil:beeswax for a salve that's "spreadable," but there will also be a little digging to get it out of the jar. You can go 85% - 90% oil if you want something softer, especially if you use castor, which seems to react a bit differently with beeswax.

Is rice bran oil good to use in balms? I've never used it before. TIA!
