Hi Karen,
25% Beeswax to 75% olive oil to make up the Solid Perfume Bases
re the beeswax perfume – I was wondering how much 10 – 15% is for the 1 teaspoon Beeswax pellets
1 tablespoon Pure olive oil…. pl. how many ml maybe or how many drops pl.. thanks
Hi Angela,
I would use 10-15% for a nice solid perfume, depending on the fragrance you are using
I would like to know how much fragrance or essential oil to use with this recipe. Thank you
Soy wax will make a very soft perfume. To make a vegan version I would try substituting 1/4-1/2 the amount of the beeswax with candelilla wax
