amazing video, great information! I've watched so many videos of this bearded dudes doing their own beard oil, and you will think they know what you are doing but none of them mention anything about the fatty profiles or the comedogenic scales, just "mix some oils, whatever you like" this definitely helped me a lot!
I like that you don't include coconut oil in your beard wash/balms...I too was always skeptical of those crafters who used it considering it being noncomedogenic. It is a relief to hear your stuff and I am glad that I found you!
Well done and said!! Really appreciate all of the information and agree, except one. Olive oil does not necessary to be a cheap filler. I use some in one of my oils and results are great. Oil is handmade and small batch from Crete island and it's not cheap at all 😁. I balance thickness and oiliness with essential oils and it really work well. Thank you for this channel and knowledge.
I love it! Thanks so much for sharing your experience. Over here, we mostly get the dregs of the barrel for olive oil used in soapmaking, but I love hearing other creators and their “good” v “bad” oil experiences. Keep making and have so much fun!
Hey! thanks for the awesome recipe. Id love to try this one. Could you clarify the buckthorn extract? I searched a bit but see all sorts of different powders and things that don't look like what you used. thanks!
If one was to go super sciencie on beard oil, what would the number be for a balance blend? I was talking to a buddy of mine that saying that linoleic acid should be higher than the oleic. I know I know. Just two dudes geeking out on stuff we shouldn't, but it makes the day go by quicker at work! Thanks again
Hey! Honestly, I would prefer a balance between the two for a good beard. Linoleic helps out with hair growth and balancing the skin’s pH, while oleic helps the hair seal in moisture and softens the beard. This is why I love Argan oil so much for beard care - it has a nice balance of both. Great question, and keep up your awesome work conversations!
She gave the percentages. So all you have to do is decide how much finished product you want in ounces or grams then multiply that number by each of the percentages in the recipe. For example, if you desire 6 ounces of beard oil, you would multiply 6 by 40% to get the amount of Argan Oil 6 × 40% = 2.4 oz Argan Oil 6 × 30% = 1.8 oz Apricot Oil and so on
Hi Mrs S&C. Just wondering if the addition of natural Vitamin E would add to longevity of this oil? Great info, thanks so much. I was going to start working on a recipe for beard balm today, however after a bit of research, I'm thinking butter or oil may be more popular.
Awsome video and i would like to know how much buckthorns extract should i put and the other essential oils i saw that you had 131 gr of sandalwood and the other ylang-ylang and ecualyptus?and do you measure in grams or ml or ounce?Thank you
Hey! Extract at 1% of the total formulation is perfect! I usually measure in ounces, but for smaller batches like this I can go grams for better precision.
Hey! I heat the oils to loosen up the fatty acid chains and allow them to mingle with each other and accept the essential oils easier. Not necessary, but I like the finished product more that way. Have fun!
@@MrsSoapAndClay thats great, I would love to try and see the difference, any particular temperature and time we should follow to heat the carrier oils ?
Awesome info, I also have a hubs with a beard though he enjoys formulating his own oil. I also play video games, mostly Skyrim - we used to play borderlands and call of duty together. Life had gotten a little busy for games as of now 😜
I have been waiting for the new elder scrolls for like nine years. Mr Soap & Clay and I got married on the day Skyrim was released, just because it was the day Skyrim was released.
Is there a good substitute for broccoli seed oil? Would avocado oil maybe be a decent replacement? Or maybe a good place to buy broccoli seed oil? Lol.
Avocado is very heavy, so I wouldn’t sub it in place of broccoli. Hempseed oil or Abyssinian are great replacements. I get my oils in giant drums from a local distributor that won’t sell it in quantities smaller than 400lbs at a time, but I think fromnaturewithlove stocks broccoli seed oil. :)
I do put coconut oil in my beard balm recipes, along with castor. Would you suggest leaving them out and replacing with more jojoba, sweet almond and argon? Thanks!
The ricinoleic acids in castor make for a good addition to beard care; it helps soften the hair and seal the shaft. For coconut oil and almond, I steer away from both as they have a higher comedogenic rating than I would like, which can lead to clogged pores and trapped dirt between the skin and the hair. Jojoba and argan are great substitutions, as well as hempseed, karanja, or Abyssinian. :)
@@MrsSoapAndClay Great video and very informative! I had actually never heard of the comedogenic scale until your video. I'm curious why you consider almond oil to be high on the scale as a 2 when apricot oil which you do like is also a 2? Is it because the rest of the profiles are different?
Hey! Thanks for the questions! I like to have a balanced oil blend with an overall comedogenic number of less than 2, so if there are heavier oils like avocado in the recipe, I’d stick with oils that have a comedogenic rating of one or less. For almond oil and apricot, their fatty acid profiles are very similar, but I like apricot a bit more just because of the potential allergen issues with almond. That said, I also do like almond oil quite a bit. 😂
i am not sure why you heat the oils when mixing them i make my own Beard oils and never heated them it can kill the nurtrients in the oils only heat if you are making a butter
I love that you’re contributing your opinion! First, we weren’t discussing essential oils but the blend of the moisturizing oils used to create this product. Second, there is “evidence” on both sides of the citrus EOs and heat debate, and none of it scientific enough for me to ever make such a bold claim.

Could you add Vitamin E to this oil so the oils won't go bad? 🤷🏾♀️
Hi. Thanks for video could you tell us or show us how u heat it up. So it can be safe and temperature. Thanks :)
Hey! thanks for the awesome recipe. Id love to try this one. Could you clarify the buckthorn extract? I searched a bit but see all sorts of different powders and things that don't look like what you used. thanks!
Ι have used tons of beard oils even I don't grow a beard.
The ones that worked for me were those which had the ingredients you used. Amazing work.
Thanks for this beard oil recipe and all the detailed information, you rock!
Hi awsome video but i wondering the weight scale,is that in grams or oz or??
Mrs. Soap & Clay can you tell me where you get your Karanja oil. Thanks
What was the extract you used here, I didn't quite catch the name?
Hello, nice video. what is the temp and time you are heating the mixed oils?
Where do you buy your oils Chantine and the buckthorn extract, is that the sea stuff ??? Thanks
Can i buy a bottle of beard oil you made in this video?

Could one use both buckthorn and aloe extracts in the same recipe?
Hi, Very informative video, love the ingredients you use. Quick question - Why do you heat the oils ? What is the advantage of doing the same ?

Nice to get info on beard oil my son has one he has been after me to make some..my 2nd grandbaby was born last night (2nd granddaughter) her daddy
Congrats on the new squish!!! ❤️
Awesome info, I also have a hubs with a beard though he enjoys formulating his own oil. I also play video games, mostly Skyrim - we used to play borderlands and call of duty together. Life had gotten a little busy for games as of now 😜

How do you get that thing to seal your oil bottles?
Karanja oil?... is there a substitute for that?
Neem...but nothing will cover up that stink..
What is karanja oil?? I don't have this in Australia
Hey! A good substitute would be neem oil, or hempseed oil.
@@MrsSoapAndClay Thank you.
Why are you heating the oil??
I think I talked about it in the video!
Thank u
i am not sure why you heat the oils when mixing them i make my own Beard oils and never heated them it can kill the nurtrients in the oils only heat if you are making a butter
Ha! There is no scientific data to back up that claim, but it’s awesome that we all have different methods.
@@MrsSoapAndClay Actually, there is. Cold-pressed oils such as Bergamot and Grapefruit can be damaged by hot temperatures.

Is 1 liter mixed of all oil right?And the essens like ylang ylang and eukalyptus how much do you use in this mix?
