Working with "% by Weight" in a recipe
We get this question a lot: "I'm looking to make the sparkle body balm, but I don't understand this whole % by weight thing..? Can you convert it to grams or something?" Here is our answer: It isn't necessary to convert to grams. Let's say the recipe is: 10% powder 30% liquid 60% secret ingredient. The recipe always adds up to 100%. So, to make a 100 gram recipe, you would just do 10 grams powder 30 grams liquid 60 grams secret ingredient. If 100 grams is too large a batch for you, and you only want to make a 25 gram batch. Well, 25 is 1/4th of 100 so you would mix: 2.5 grams powder 7.5 grams liquid 15 grams secret ingredient Hope this helps.
