Balm calculators

Eleven free calculators for balm and salve makers: wax ratios, batch and container fills, unit conversion, blend stability, essential oil limits, infusions, labels and unit cost.

Eleven calculators, all free, all running entirely in your browser. They use the same constants as the rest of Trebalm, so a number you get from a tool will agree with the number in the article that explains it.

How to use them well

Start with the wax ratio calculator to get a starting percentage, take that into the batch calculator to turn it into grams, and check the oil phase with the blend stability calculator before you buy anything. Then make 25 grams and see what actually happens.

Every one of these gives a range rather than a single figure wherever the underlying evidence is genuinely uncertain, and says so on the page. That is not hedging. Published measurements of wax structuring power disagree by a factor of two or more depending on which oil the wax is in, and a calculator that hid that behind one confident number would be worse than no calculator at all.
