Ok , I just made my first batch of whipped butter . It looks great , feels good but a little greasy ! IT stinks like S@#t!! I added some fragrance but that sticks too. Are their better fragrances to add to cover the unrefined smell??Do I need to melt back down to add more butter or cornstarch? Thanks again!! Amy

Hi everyone, Could someone explain how the different butters and oils work. I see all of these recipes for body butters ect and I can't figure out how to figure out percents. I want to just play around with a small recipe for a body butter or whip for myself . I have shea unrefined , cocoa prime pressed natural, mango, candelilla wax (cosmetic grade) soy butter , and some oils. Is it 60% butters 40 % oils? I'm just clueless as you can tell. Any enlightment will be very appreciated. thanks in advance amy

Just wanted to say Tnaks for the help!!

I'm new remember ...what is ADM soy? Thanks

Hi everyone, Maybe this is a stupid question ....but .... is the soy wax you use in candles the same as you would in a lip balm?? Is there a cosmetic grade? I don't make candles but need a liitle amount of soy wax for a lip balm , any ideas? thanks, Amy

Hi Everyone , Haven't been here in awhile and still very NEW and all this!! What do all you who use soy bases use for your lotion?? Does anyone use the one from Soy Wholesale? Maybe this is really stupid but is that really better because it says soy lipids for $32.00 a gal? or is the other bases for 14.95 a gal still just as good?? I love the one I have been buying it feels great but looking for advice, since I hate breaking the bank!!! Thanks, Amy

Thank you for the reply!

Newbie here!! Never done a craft fair and I'm looking to do a small one . I sell lotion and was wondering how much I should bring ??? Want to have enough product. Any other advice for a first timer?? Thanks for your input in advance.

I have used the fresh mint flavor oil fromThe Chemistry Store . I like it alot , Im new here tho so not much to compare with. I had great service from them also when I had a problem . so I say thumbs up!!
