  1. http://www.soulgazersundries.com/makelbls.pdf this was interesting
  2. http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art46253.asp How about this?
  3. I am going to call them but last night I went ahead and ordered the 76 coconut from columbus so when I get it I will compare and I think I should really be able to tell if there is a difference.
  4. In the past I have always purchased coconut oil from Walmart. A supplier not far from me just started offering coconut oil. I purchased 50 lbs and tried the 100% / 20 SF coconut soap and as soon as I poured in my lye it turned into stiff mashed potatoes immediately and rendered my stick blender useless. So, I tried a second batch thinking I did something wrong. Same thing. My question is, when you purchase bulk coconut oil is it brittle? It is alot different than the louann that I have purchased in the past. It also feels waxey. It smells different too. I am beginning to think that there might have been something added to this coconut.
  5. Someone made the statment that fragrance expire in a year and essential oils get better as they age. Is this true?
  6. I took one of the green lids from the louann coconut oil and smoothed down the threads with my dremel and it fit perfectly. They are even better than the end caps that I found because they are a thicker plastic.
  7. I used emu oil and shea butter. 30/70
  8. Can you tell me what is the average amount of time that you whip your shea butter? I whipped up some but now am wondering if I should have let it go for a longer amount of time. It is pretty thick and would like a more airy and light butter.
  9. I have been told to stir your fragrance in and not stick blend it.
