Servings: 3.6 oz
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 oz of coconut oil
- 0.5 oz of beeswax pellets
- 0.5 oz of jojoba oil
- 0.5 oz of sunflower oil
- 0.05 oz of vitamin E oil
- 0.05 oz of Cromollient SCE optional, see notes below
Fragrance
- 20 drops of cedarwood essential oil
- 10 drops of rosemary essential oil
- 5 drops of clove bud essential oil
Instructions
- Add the beeswax, coconut, jojoba, and sunflower oils to a double boiler or pan on the stove. On a low heat, melt the ingredients together, stirring occasionally. This will take around ten minutes.
- Once everything is melted and mixed together, let it cool slightly (another ten minutes should be enough). Then add in the cromollient SCE (if you're using it), along with the vitamin E oil and fragrance oils. Stir everything together until it's mixed well.
- Transfer to a storage tin and allow it to cool before securing the lid.
Notes
- This oil-based pomade tends to last longer and hold firmer than water-based ones. With that, oil-based pomades may take several washes to remove completely. The cromollient SCE will help to wash the product out of the hair.
- You shouldn’t need to use too much. A little goes a long way.
- You can use pomade on either wet or dry hair (it’s up to you)
- Your hair might look a touch greasy when using this pomade, but that’s kind of the idea.
- Store out of direct sunlight for up to 1 year.
- Use metal, glass, or heavy-duty PET plastic containers for your hair pomade.
