How to make a conditioner bar

Conditioner bars (an generally everything bar) are very popular at the moment because:

1- There is no water in it (water is a strategic and precious ingredient). This means the consumer doesn't pay for something that consists up to 80% of water and doesn't pay for water transport

2- The product is self-preserving and doesn't need any preservative

3- The product doesn't need any plastic for packing. You can easily pack and wap this product in wax or tissue paper and put it in a paper bag or cardboard box.

I made different versions of this product a long time ago, have a look at this previous blog posts:

they worked perfectly and everybody was happy with them except for the disadvanzage that they melted very fast under hot water. I have now tweaked the formulation and improved it and swapped a few items and here we are:

Formulation:

Procedure:

1- Weight all ingredients of phase A and B in separate beakers.

2- Put phase A in a water bath @65-70 ^oC and phase B in a water bath @ 40-45 ^oC. This is to avoid a cold shock as you add a cold oil phase to the melted butter/wax phase. Oat silk does not dissolve in the oil phase, you only disperse it and blend.

3- Blend each phase during heating. When all of phase A is melted, stop heating and add phase B.

4- Stir gently till the blend reaches a temperature of 35-40 ^oC. Now add the essential oil blend and pour into the mold cavities. Bring the mold in the fridge and let it stay for at least 2 hours.

5- Remove the pieces from the mold and wrap them in wax paper.
