Ingredients Needed

Choose high-quality ingredients to boost the effectiveness and safety of your DIY beauty products.

• Fractionated coconut oil
  You can use instead sweet almond oil or jojoba oil.
• Ewax NF
  Emulsifying Wax NF is a synthetic ingredient that helps oil and water blend together to form a smooth, creamy texture. It’s like a glue that holds the mixture together, making it easy to apply and effective in cleansing.
• Cetyl alcohol
  Also known as Lanette 16, it is a synthetic fatty alcohol that helps thicken the balm and make it feel silky. It moisturizes and smooths your skin.
• Stearic acid
  It is a natural fatty acid, often derived from plants, used to give the balm a firm texture and stability. It helps the balm stay solid at room temperature and ensures it melts smoothly when applied to your skin.
• Tea tree essential oil

Tools Needed

• Scale to weigh quantities
• Glass beaker
• Teaspoon
• Glass mixing rod
• Suitable container to store your DIY Cleanser and Makeup Remover Balm

Prior to use, ensure that both your utensils and containers are properly cleaned and disinfected. Wash them with warm soapy water, dry with a tissue, and then sanitize by spraying with 70% medical alcohol. Wipe them clean and let them air dry before use.

Steps: DIY Cleanser and Makeup Remover Balm

1- Begin by pouring 41 grams (1.44 oz) of fractionated coconut oil in a glass beaker.

2- Add 6 grams (0.21 oz) of Ewax NF.

3- Add 8 grams (0.28 oz) of stearic acid.

4- Add 4.2 grams (0.15 oz) of cetyl alcohol.

5- Gently heat and melt the ingredients in a bain-marie (hot water bath). A bain-marie is made by placing the beaker in a larger pot of hot, steaming water. This will gradually heat and melt the contents. Stir while the mixture is melting, using a glass mixing rod. Avoid boiling.

When you are satisfied that the ingredients have melted, remove the beaker out of the bain-marie.

6- Allow the contents to cool to a temperature of 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit). This is a necessary step to avoid evaporating the essential oil that will be added in the next step.

7- Add 2-3 drops of tea tree essential oil.

8- Mix the contents with the glass mixing rod.

9- Pour the DIY Cleanser and Makeup Remover Balm into a suitable container.

10- Allow the contents to cool and solidify, acquiring a creamy, balmy consistency that is ready for use.

Here’s how to use the DIY Cleanser and Makeup Remover Balm:
