Egyptian Magic?

[gratia]

Hello Ladies and Gents.

So I had a friend ask me about Egyptian Magic. It can cost anywhere from 30-72$ for 4oz. I had never heard of it before. She showed me a picture of the ingredients list and it seems simple enough. She said she would buy all the ingredients if I helped her make it. Have any of you tried to dupe this and if so how did it turn out and would you mind sharing? I am going to give this a try no matter what but would like some input.

The ingredients are:
Olive Oil
Beeswax
Honey
Bee Pollen
Royal Jelly Extract
Bee Propolis.
All seem easily available to get.
What do you all think?
I tried a search here and didn't find anything right off but if there is something and I missed it, I apologize.

I've never heard of it so I had to google to find out about it. They call it a cream but since it doesn't have an emulsifier or water, I'm making an assumption it's something like a salve or balm. Did your friend tell you anything about the texture of it?

I figured the same thing that since there was no liquid that is was a salve or a balm of some sort. From what I understand it has the consistency of Vaseline. She had never tried it but was curious.

Since I've made salves before I was curious too and did some googling...

It doesn't look to hard. And I probably shoudn't have gone looking, this is just fuelling my desire for bees.

Thanks for those links. I googled it also but maybe didn't put in the proper key words. I will check them out. I do not think that it would be to hard but getting the % right is what I was curious about. I know that there is a basic starting point, just wanted to get peoples opinions/feelings on this product.

I bought a jar of it a long time ago. It's definitely like a salve and I recall it was a yellowish color.

Here is a download I found. It seems like the first three ingredients are on your list as well. I am betting that if you make a small batch and add the last three ingredients in small amounts you will have something close to it.
