Hi Maker! Mel here. Today I am in the makesy studio with some very special guests.
I'm Ulises, I'm a supervisor of shipping. And I'm Kevin. I'm the inventory coordinator here
at makesy. As you guys can see Kevin and Uli have beards. So we're going straight to the
source today to show you just how simple it is to make your own beard balm at home.
When you're getting started you just need a few different components. As you can see here we've
got two pouring pitchers. We have two of our black glass jars. We have some fragrance this
is a super awesome fragrance. Can you guys guess what the scent this is? Oh that's pretty sweet.
Honey Bourbon? Amazing! So nice masculine honey bourbon scent - all you bourbon fans out there.
To get started safety first. As you can see we've got some goggles on our heads.
Let's get making! It's makesy time! So we're gonna go ahead and then take our
2oz surcraclear oil gellant and Uli you just open that bottle up
pour it into your pitcher. Super easy. I've got some honey bourbon on my hands it smells so good.
So try and get as much out as you can. It's jelly so some of it might stick to the inside
of the bottle. You just give it a nice little tap and it'll come out. Perfect. Great and so
once you've got that in your first picture we are going to use our handy dandy stick blender
um the goggles are really important for the stick blender so that you avoid any splashes.
Splashes can happen no matter how careful you're being so you're going to go ahead
and take that stick blender - have you ever operated a stick blender before?
No but there's always a first time! So amazing. Yep so just gently
start depressing that button and you're going to move it in a circular motion until it turns into a
white milky consistency. So you might need to kind of swish it around a little bit.
Amazing and so while you leave doing that my friend Kevin over here, you're going to throw
this pitcher into the microwave and melt the aloe butter until it's fully melted.
So now that our aloe vera butter is melted go ahead Kev we're gonna go grab that. Uli we've
got our consistency that we want for our gel here it's gonna make that nice creamy jelly texture
and what we're going to do is Uli we have one more step here we've got a rich body oil
a rich body and face oil base this is super super luxurious and super nourishing for your
skin it's got a few different oils in it that are just really really beneficial for your skin
to moisturize and condition and for your hair so what I'm going to do is I'm going to pour
this in slowly while you're still blending and it's going to emulsify really nicely.
The goal here is to really get them perfectly fused together.
So now we've got emulsification happening over here we've combined our oil, which is going to
be the nourishing component with our gellant base and that makes it emulsified together into a solid
and now we've got our melted aloe vera butter here. We're gonna go ahead and add our honey
bourbon fragrance into the aloe butter here and then we're gonna combine the two.
Sound easy enough? Yeah that is fun too. You're doing a great job so this looks pretty good I
think we're good with the emulsification and you got your fragrance in there I'm
gonna give that a twirl Kev and then I'll have you pass that to me and then Uli will mix that
in there and then we'll mix the two together and you've got your beard balm. Super simple.
Awesome Uli pour that guy in here and then I'll go ahead and give this a twirl.
As you're twirling you'll see that these start to combine and they start to set into this
really nice consistency the beard balm won't be ready for approximately six or seven hours
it needs to set up a little bit and cool down so that it can fully combine but as you can
see here we've got our balmy base here and once it cools it'll be a nice jelly texture.
So now that our beard balm is ready we are going to go ahead and pour it into our black glass jars.
One for you Kev and you Uli. Thank you. And you guys can take turns Kev i know Uli's been doing
number one thing so you can do the first honors with this one and it's totally okay if it's a
little bit runny right now it's going to set up into a jelly texture so it will set up in about
a few hours but you won't want to use it right away so you need to go ahead and pour yours in
and then we have a finished one here that we'll go ahead and try out.
Amazing. It also smells really good. How easy was that? Very. Well. let's go try it out. You
guys can take your goggles off now since there's no more splatter action happening
and just take a little bit on your finger and apply it generously to your beard and mustache
area. It's really good for a variety of things and it's great because it acts as a natural cologne
and it does the double duty of being a cleanser so when you guys get home
tonight if you wash your face or just splash some water on your face or you take a shower,
basically when you're showering it will start to kind of emulsify and kind of foam up a little bit
and it will cleanse your skin and your beard at the same time.
It's very smooth, very smooth. You guys like the smell? I love the smell - yeah yeah feels
really good. It's really cool too because you can customize it too for whatever fragrance you want.
