MaryinCary Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 I have a recipie for a body butter using Cocoa, Mango & Fractionated Coconut Oils. I don't have any FCO...does anyone know of another oil that I can sub and come close to the FCO? TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniedb Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 Since FCO is so light and easily absorbed, it'll be hard to get the same finished feel, but I would suggest grapeseed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

singleyellowrose Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 Grapeseed doesn't have a long shelf life. You could use any light oil, but do understand it will change the feel.Ones that come to mind are:Apricot Kernal OilSunflower OilSafflower OilYou could also use regular coconut although it may make it a tad harder.

daniedb Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 And sunflower and safflower you can almost always find at the grocery store, in case you go that way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
