How to Make DIY Conditioning Beard Balm 

I have been looking for a softer beard balm for my husband! This is perfect! Thanks Marie! I love the inclusion of BTMS-50 and the conditioning effect. Wonderful!

Just love the content on your channel. Well articulated and well researched. Keep it going ♥️

I made this and it is amazing! I’ll be making again soon, trying for a autumn scent and then a winter scent. Thanks Marie, you’re the best!

You are amazing. Your videos and your blog are awesome! Thank you for sharing. I learned a lot!

I don’t have beard but you have solved my 4c dry hair situation. This is going to work magic as a leave in hair balm. My hair Afro hair loves these oils.

This is cool. I've been looking for a beard balm recipe and coming from you, I think I've found it. Thank you ❤❤ I love your recipes, I've tried out many 😍😍

Brilliant. Thanks for the recipe.

Your infectious ! Thanks for the tips !

finally! I find a video on how to make a Conditioning Beard Balm! btw great video. Thanks for posting this

Awesomeness!!! I've been looking for a way to create a beard balm that would stand out and this really inspired me. Of course I'm going to tweak your recipe to make it my own, but I'm definitely making and beta testing this. Look for your shout out in the video. Thanks Marie! 🤗❤️

Okay I just graduated from beard salve to beard balm in my formulating. Thank you so much for recommending the BTMS conditioners!

love love love it

Hey there Marie, love your videos on beard diy products love your coffee oil and just about to make this conditioning balm. For us bearded gents in Canada there seems to be a shortage of companies here that make “in shower Beard Conditioners”), you mentioned it at beginning of video and I think videos on making “Beard wash, Beard Conditioner and Beard Cowashes” would be greatly welcome to us Canadian DIYers. Thanks so much, you rock

The final product is fantastic! Is there another conditioning ingredient besides btms-50 that is plant based or plant derived?

just finished the balm... hope my two victims will love it! Thank you so much for your effort and your inspiration!! You do a great job!! l love to see your videos!!

This recipe is amazing, thanks for sharing. Is it available as a formula in percentages on your pateron?

Hey Marie! Thank you so much for this video! I've been looking for a creamier beard balm recipe for sometime now. From what I understand there are two types of beard balms...conditioning and styling beard balms. Will you be making a creamy "styling" beard balm recipe? I'm wondering if I can just add more beeswax to this recipe...but don't think I'll be able to stir while cooling, then scoop into a 2oz tin. You rock!!

Oh I love this!! Been looking for something like this for an age. Awesome!

Thank you

Love this! Can you make a beard wash next?

I really wish I lived near you. I would just purchase this stuff from you, this and the Cedar smoke one. Along with any new recipe beard stuff you come up with. You're a wizard at this stuff. An extremely beautiful one at that as well.

Great video. Thank you

Thank you.i need that.very good.

Hi ,can we use emulsifying wax instead btms

Hey Marie, I'm getting low on beard oil and I've been considering mixing equal parts of aloe, shea butter, and coconut, how would this work out in your opinion ?

I like this beard balm

I would call this more of a beard butter than a balm. I like the recipe idea.

Awesome Sauce !!

Can we add colour (skin safe), to the conditioner?

It almost has the consistency of a whipped balm. That is neat.

A couple of questions, Marie: While trying to buy BTMS-50, a vendor here in Spain told me to buy BTMS-25 and add .05% of cetyl alcohol to the recipe to achieve the same effects of the -50. Your thoughts? And as a side question, I LOVE the smell of palo santo. Have you ever used the essential oil, and if so, what do you think of it? Thanks for your amazing information. Best, Bill

Could I substitute candelilla wax instead of beeswax?

Can I use BTMS-85 instead of BTMS-50 will appreciate your feedback. Thank you.

I may have missed it but what size is that little tin/batch?

Hi I love your video tutorials .Can I ask can I ask if you would need to use a preservative in this .what would the life be without any preservatives.

Could you use sunflower wax or Castor wax flakes instead of beeswax?

This looks great. Can you use a different wax? Jojoba or candelilla ?

OMG - you have just given me the most valuable piece of information and I can't thank you enough. I have been making lotions and moisturisers for the last 2 years and have been fortunate enough to never loose a batch. However, this year we moved house and I have had two big batches separate on me. I had worked out it was to do with the heat of the water and oil phase but was not doing anything different. This year we moved house and I just checked the elevation levels. The old house was right on the waters edge and was 77ft and the new house is at 233ft. Not too high but obviously enough difference to affect my methods. I had no idea that elevation could mess with my water temps. Probably explains why the kettle has also started playing up since moving - I thought it got damaged in the move. Thank you so much for mentioning that. I will have to review my heating methods

Never heard of BTMS. I feel like I need it for my ingriedients. But is it save for our beard?

Thank you for this recipe! I already ordered my first haul of ingredients to make this balm, and your shealoe body butter cream as my first ever DIY projects :) I have a question though. I suffer from a terribly dry skin with flaky dandruff under my beard. Will this balm help my skin as well, or is it only a hair/beard remedy?

I really love this formula. But I have started having an occasional breakout underneath my beard witch I've never had a problem with. Of these ingredients is there one you could recommend backing off on that is maybe the guilty party?

I've been using my batch for a week now and my beard is very silky smooth. I however use BTSM-25 as I could not find the 50 when I ordered my stuff. I'm experimenting a little bit as my beard tends to frizz so I need to see about making this a little more waxy to hold it. Thanks!

What are your thoughts about adding cera bellina instead of beeswax? Also adding Penstia powder?

Thanks for helping me find something natural I can put into my beard, really appreciate your chanell/blog. My question now is if I might also use it as hair product since most gel and wax products I tried over the last couple of years damaged my hair. Thank you and greetings from Germany!

Also, can you give advice on the ratios of wax to butter to carrier oil to essential oil in general to make a good beard balm. I like my products to be soft but not greasy. Not sure if the greasiness is from the carrier oils or from the shea butter. I don't use coconut oil because I find it FAR TOO greasy/messy (though I enjoy the smell). P.S. I love that you use weight (grams) for all your ingredients! Most recipes out there fluctuate between ounces and tablespoons etc. I can never tell if they are referring to fluid ounces and often turns out to be a disaster. With your recipes, they are super easy as long as you have a scale!! so Thank you!!!!!! Would love to see you do a "dupe" video on replicating Honest Amish's Beard Balm as they have a very unique consistency unlike any of the other balms, AND they have an incredible scent which I can't seem to fully place my finger on. Something between cloves, anise, some woodsy scent, and maybe a dash of citrus.

I did this recipe and it was amazing. One thing I’m curious about: I tried adding water like you said, but it made it a bit chunky no matter how my I stirred. Do you have a recommended water amount?

cool Ill give it a go

great product, were do you get your Vit E oil?

Hi Marie! Love your channel and all your recipes. I have a question for you...could I substitute the Camellia seed oil with Hemp seed oil? Thanks in advance

Hey Marie, I love your videos. What other oil can I use if I don’t have any camellia oil?

Would you do a recipe for a conditioning beard butter?

Hey, I checked out your blog post, quick question, would pistachio oil work, or sunflower, tamanu , avocado oil.? Can't wait to try this recipe, but I would like to use things I have.

Hey, if you had just poured the mixture into the tin and let it cool, what would the consistency have been? Would it have been soft but not creamy? Do you think the wax may have settled to the bottom rather than it staying suspended? Thank You!

Thank you for this wonderful video! Can you make video for beard butter, beard shampoo and sweet minit beard oil. Thank you!

Hi there, love your recipes I have just started out doing diy products and you offer a lot of great information to learn from. So first thank you for that. I calculated the percentages for this recipe as I have been intending to scale it up and saw that 16% is the part made up of the Vitamin E and essential oils. I really wanted to keep the fragrances (not using EO because it's for a person with eczema) around 0.5% and the vitamin E about the same, maybe 1%, but this would mean only 1% of the 16%. How could I calculate the remaining % between the remaining ingredients in order to keep the consistency? It would help tremendously, thx. PS: reading your blog entries 3 times each and also your encyclopedia input to learn the ingredients better. Keep up the great work! ;)

Where do you get the tins for the finished balm? Thank you!

Help please, where do you source your BTMS 50 from? I can't seem to find a link in your article. Thanks.

I notice this balm keeps my wild beard hair controlled. Almost like there is a static charge...Do you think it is the BTMS-50?

Hi Marie! Can I use this balm as a base for a pre-shave cream/balm for men? Maybe if I use some coconut oil, hemp seed oil? Or sweet almond oil instead of camellia seed oil? Shea butter instead of mango butter? I'm trying to make a pre-shave cream and this recipe gave me some ideas. Have you ever thought giving recipes for men products like shaving cream or shaving soap or hair style pomade?

Still working on a larger batch to this consistency. Just can't get it

re there any other emulsifying waxes or agents you could recomend as I can not find BTMS-25/50 on ebay in the UK for some reason? Unless it is known by another name that is, I did try the full name on the site you link to.

I do not have camellia oil what could I use instead. Thank you

I'm looking for a tobacco smell what essential oils would you suggest?? And also is there anything that can be used to help the beard look/feel thicker?

I am using Vitamin E Acetate, will that be exactly 2 drop ?

Hi, Any advice on how I would turn your recipe into a beard butter (with the inclusion of BTMS-50)?

Can I avoid adding beeswax?

Nice. Can I add fragrance oil to this recipe instead of essential oils?

Hi Marie, Not sure if BTMS-50 is available where I live...can we use Olivem 1000 instead?

Hi Marie, do you have the recipe with percentages, please. Thanks x

Great Video. Thank you. You are my great new discovery. Can you please make a video for Beard Butter?

Can this recipe be used if you live in the Caribbean or do you recommend adding a bit more beeswax or less mango butter and oils?

Two questions, I have an emulsifying wax called silky emulsifying wax, is this btms-50! And what can I us instead of camellia seed oil? Thanks

I like the consistency, but do you have an opinion on how that might change if I used cera bellina in replace of the beeswax?

Hello. Sorry if someone has already asked. But, do you have any for sale?

do you think we can use rosemary essential oil instead of all of those essential oils?

Can I use cetyl alcohol

Can I use a preservative in this? Recommendation? Thanks

Do you have a substitution suggestion for someone who has a nut allergy and cannot tolerate almond oil in his beard balm and oil?

Hey there, can I do this recipe but exchange some things? I have apricot seed oil, jojoba, shea butter. Can I use these instead?

How much of the BTMS and beeswax do I use for a 4oz container? Thanks

have you made a hair balm?

It it normal for the beard balm to "sweat" when its setting up? Mine seems to be sweating quite a lot. Do I need more wax,coco butter,she butter??

Where do we find the BTMS-50 NDA doesn't have it?

Quick question as I'm online shopping for my ingredients, in place of the vitamin E oil, would Rice Bran oil work in this recipe as it's high in Vit E ?

Is there a substitution for camellia seed oil

I was very when came across your channel. You are very informative and detail which I like. I would like to make this in a larger batch would I just triple the measurements? Could I incorporate shea butter as well?

Please make more Beard balm, butter and oils Bee ❤

Have you ever worked with pine tar/pinon pine resin? Wondering if this would give a lot of tack to a beard balm. I'm thinking about making a beard balm like the one in this video and a beard wax to lay on top for those crazy hairs that won't go down. But then I think it might be too much...hmmm...

Can I replace mango butter with Shea butter because I cant find it in my country

Love all your videos! Would you recommend using this on thinning hair? I'm a 39yr old male with thinning hair and I recently stopped using hair gel (with all those chemicals) and started using an all natural hair pomade. I have noticed I don't have dandruff and my hair feels so much softer after a shower! I want to continue using an all natural pomade or hair balm, but what would you recommend for my type of hair?

Hi, where from can we get this wax

Is the btms-50 considered natural wax?

How long it will last? Or it need any preservative?

Why is a cutie pie teaching us how to make beard anything?? I don't know, but I like it!!!!!

can i use btms 25?

Would you consider assisting with a hair pomade recipe?

What can I replace the camellia oil with if I don't have that oil.

Where do you buy btms 50

Hi, I have a question about the BTMS-50: in your recipe the % by weight of BTMS-50 comes to 24%, but on another part of your website you state it's best to use only 10-15% as it can smell fishy. Is the 24% fine for this recipe?

What’s the shelf life of btms
