I want to make some lip balm. I have a recipe for beeswax and carnuaba wax. I was hoping to use carnauba wax, I just need to know if anyone knows the percent of carnauba/beewax to pour? Each of these recipes does not indicate a percentage of wax to use, so if I ever want to mix and match I wont know how much wax of either is good.
Recipe One
2.5 oz coconut oil
2.5 oz sweet almond oil
2.5 oz beeswax
1 oz chocolate
1 tsp agave syrup

Recipe Two
1 oz carnauba wax
1 oz shea butter
2 oz hemp seed oil
2 tsp agave syrup
on each I can use eo of my choice
 
If you want to adjust the amounts, you can figure it this way:

Add up everything in the recipe, then do part/whole*100 to calculate the percentage of each item.

If i wanted to make 60grams of that recipe, I would then plug in each item/60*100.

I wouldn't be putting chocolate in mine, either. They make flavor oils for lip balms, and if you add chocolate flavor oil, then add stevia for sweetening, you can get away without a preservative. I am certain that someone has a chocolate flavor oil somewhere.
