Ingredients Needed

• Raw Beeswax Sheet: See image below.
• Blackberry Carrier Oil: You can use instead sweet almond oil, jojoba oil, or sesame oil.
• Liquid Oil-soluble Color
• Essential Oil

Notes on Ingredients

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

When an essential oil is included, I use either concentrated or diluted essential oils. If using concentrated essential oils, use up to 0.5% by weight to ensure safety for all skin types. To use diluted essential oils, mix 1 gram (0.035 oz) of concentrated essential oil with 100 grams (3.5 oz) of sweet almond oil or jojoba oil.

If a recipe calls for fragrance oil, you can use diluted essential oil instead to benefit from both its scent and therapeutic effects. This provides a natural alternative to synthetic fragrance oils and offers additional benefits.

Tools Needed

• Scale to weigh quantities
• Stainless steel cup
• Wooden popsicle
• Small glass container to store your DIY Solid Perfume for Body and Hair

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 Solid Perfume for Body and Hair

1- Start by breaking the raw beeswax sheet with your fingers, and put 10 grams (0.35 oz) of the broken pieces in a cup.

2- Add 30 milliliters (1.01 US fl oz) of blackberry carrier oil. You can replace the blackberry oil with sweet almond oil, jojoba oil, or sesame oil, which are equally odorless.

3- Place the cup in a bain-marie (hot water bath). A bain-marie is done by placing the cup in a larger pot of hot steaming water. This will gradually heat/melt whatever is inside the cup. As the contents melt, make sure to mix every now and then.

4- Allow the contents to cool off a bit, only till the vapor dissipates. Don’t let the mix cool down too much, because it will harden.

5- Add 5-7 drops of liquid oily color. Mix thoroughly.

Note: If you notice that the mix has somewhat thickened, place it again in a hot water bath. Let it cool down a bit before moving on to the next step, where we add the essential oil.

6- Add 2 drops of an essential oil that you prefer. Keep in mind that some essential oils are more potent than others, so you might need to adjust the number of drops accordingly.

It’s always a good idea to start with fewer drops, mix thoroughly, and then add more if needed to achieve your desired level of fragrance. Remember that the scent can intensify over time, so it’s best to start conservatively.

7- Mix again thoroughly.

8- Pour the perfume mixture into a small container.

9- Your DIY Solid Perfume for Body and Hair is now done!
