Early 2024 we had published a formulation for an acai facial balm which has been one of our most popular formulations. If you have escaped it and not yet made the balm you can go back to the formulation here

Inspired by your feed backs and love of this oil we created a KISS cleansing balm which will keep the skin refatted and hydrated during cold and dry days.
We kept the formulation really simple. Of course you can jazz it up and add as much extracts and active ingredients your heart desires but hey, this is a rinse-off product.
We are using the Emogreen C69 for its non-greasy skin feel but you can replace it with any heat-resistant oil. The G2B (Glyceryl dibehenate) improves the thermal stability of the balm yet it imparts a juicy texture. It needs however a high temperature for complete melting. The balm reaches its final texture within 3 days so do nut judge the texture immediately. The prolonged process will reduce the risk of graininess which is the nightmare of many formulators.
Here is our basic formulation
Procedure:
1- Melt phase A between 85-90 C
2- Stop heating and add phase B
3- When phase A+B is completely melted add phase C and start cooling while stirring.
4- The balm reaches the final texture in about 3 days. You can whip it or fill it as it is in suitable containers
