  1. 1 oz beeswax, 8 oz petroleum jelly, 1 tbl fragrance oil melt ingredients, remove from heat, add fragrance, pour into small containers
  2. Both are used with fragrance oil when adding it to a mixture, however, what is the difference in 20 and 80? I know one is a synthetic. Thank you.
  3. Has anyone added any type of milk powder to body butter/cream; if so, what type of preservative is needed & was there any problem with the powder? Thank you.
  4. I want to make 16 oz. body butter & sub liquid coconut milk for distilled water. What type preservative & how much is recommended? Is a preservative necessary if I only add milk powder if it doesn't require water? Thank you.
  5. www.gardenofwisdom.com has it/immediate shipping, best prices around--I'm a loyal customer for years. You can order a smaller amount of anything & they will adjust the price. No other supplier offers this type of personal service which is a great way to sample without paying a fortune.
  6. I want to make body butter, sub distilled water with coconut milk not powder. What type preservative is recommended & can I use canned coconut milk that you buy in a supermarket/health food store or do I need a special type? Thank you.
  7. www.gardenofwisdom.com is the best supplier on earth. You can order a smaller amount of anything listed & the price will be adjusted--great way to sample without going bankrupt; fantastic customer service, quick shipping. I'm a loyal customer for years.
  8. www.gardenofwisdom.com ihas excellent prices, fast shipping, accommodating customer service. You can order a smaller amount of anything & the price will be adjusted. No other supplier offers this convenience which is a great way to try something without spending a fortune.
  9. The Burts Bees type from www.oregontrailsoaps.com is a waste of money. I just ordered a bottle & threw it out because it had absolutely no smell.
  10. How much would you add to 4 oz. diaper rash ointment?
  11. This is the BEST supplier on earth, prompt, professional. FANTASTIC CUSTOMER SERVICE will accommodate you in every respect. You can order a lesser quanity of any item & the price will be adjusted--great way to try something without buying a large quantity. I've been a faithful customer for many years.
  12. I got emu oil from www.gardenofwisdom.com They charge actual shipping no handling fee like many suppliers. Markey will work with you. You can order a lesser amt. of any item so you won't get stuck buying a pound if you need an ounce--excellent way to try something before almost buying it.
  13. The highest quality retail shea comes from www.gardenofwisdom.com and www.bestsheabutter.com offers only wholesale.
  14. Cyclo is used in dry oil sprays. Perfume consists of carrier oil & fragrance. I've used jojoba & it's worth the extra cost because it provides a smoother glide & the gold color looks richer since the bottle is clear.
  15. Who is the best supplier for soy? Do you use the same ratio as beeswax? I tried soy once but the mixture did not thicken no matter what I added so I wasted everything. Thank you.
  16. I added a bit of lanolin as an afterthought which obviously is why specs floated to the top; I remelted it several times which did not help. The balm is great but not something you would sell because the finished product doesn't look professional. Thanks to everyone who replied.
  17. Is the ratio the same with soy wax? I tried that once but it did not work as the mixture was too thin. I then added beeswax which made it too waxy so I discarded everything. Where do you buy your soy wax? Thank you.
  18. Are your packets the gusseted stand-up type; what is the size & can you reseal them once opened; if so, where did you purchase them? Thank you.
  19. I made a balm with a very small amt. of lanolin which melted completely; however, after it hardened the lanolin stayed on top which looks molted. What did I do wrong?
  20. Cetyl esters are less waxy & offers better moisturizing.
  21. .3 oz beeswax, .2 oz jojoba esters, 1 oz cocoa butter, .5 oz coffee butter, 1 oz hempseed oil, 1 oz jojoba oil, 1 tsp dry flow powder, few drops Vit E
  22. How do you solidify something made with beeswax? Should it be cooled at room temp or put in the refrigerator while warm? I made body butter which did not harden so I refrigerated it & then it hardened but turned into liquid after I took it out. Thank you.
  23. I made balm with a bit of lanolin but after it cooled, specs of lanolin floated to the top which looks terrible. I remelted it several times & nothing helped.
  24. I purchased this from www.gardenof wisdom.com--excellent customer service. TDF is no longer dependable; always out of stock, ignores email, etc. I will no longer deal with them because their once great customer service doesn't exist any longer. They could care less.
  25. I need advice about thickeners. I want to thicken carrier oils so I can use them as body butter.
