Is there a B&B Calc

[elitenaildesign]

I know there is a soap calc, but is there a lotion or b&b calc somewhere. Ok, math was never a good subject for me, but I have a recipe all in % and I dont know how much I want to make yet for a scrub. Is there some magical trick to figuring out proportions, or am I being a total airhead?:rolleyes2

Something like this? http://recipes.herbalsoapsbyrj.com/calculators/batch-percentage.php

EDIT: Mostly Lurkin's idea is better

If you have it all in %, that's all you need already

Just get a good calculator and decide how much you want to make, then multiply it by that.

Like, say a recipe calls for 20% mango butter, that means it's X 0.2 (30% is X 0.3, 40% is X 0.4, etc)

Then say you want to make 10 oz of butter, just do 10 oz X 0.2 = 2 oz, so your recipe would take 2 oz of butter, while a 16 oz batch would take 3.2 oz

So... say a sample recipe for a body butter is..

30% shea butter

15% mango butter

10% cocoa butter

10% avocado butter

20% macadamia nut oil

10% calendula oil

2% cyclomethicone

1% IPM

2% eo blend

For a 10 oz batch that would mean

3 oz shea butter

1.5 oz mango butter

1 oz cocoa butter

1 oz avocado butter

2 oz mac nut oil

1 oz calendula oil

0.2 oz cyclo

0.1 oz IPM

0.2 oz eo blend

Disclaimer: That recipe is just something I made up off the top of my head. If anyone tries it and it works, that's awesome, if not, well, you know why!

All you need is a calculator

If your recipe is in oz or ml and you want to convert directly, MMS has a great conversion calc.

I knew I was probably making it much harder than it was:embarasse
