TexasBrat Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 I thought I had cetyl alcohol but I can't find it but I did find that I have cetyl esters. Can I sub with it for the alcohol? I was so sure I bought ca and I may have it somewhere but if not I hope I can use the esters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunny Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 It's not really an emulsfier, it's more makes things thick and glossy. I use it in my conditioner! Here's the link at TDF that tells a bit more. http://www.ingredientstodiefor.com/item.php?item_id=142Whatcha makin? You may just be able to up your ewax a few percentage points to not include the cetyl alcohol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasBrat Posted April 24, 2006 Author Share Posted April 24, 2006 Thanks Bunny. I was wanting to make Apres salt glow bar. I called Judy at TDFS and she looked at my previous history of orders and found that I did buy the ca and so I went digging and found it in my garage. She said if I really needed to I could sub stearic for the ca. I spent like an hour with her on the phone and she has so much knowledge about stuff and I understand how to use my aloe vera x200 powder finally. lol When I was looking for the ca I was also excited to find I had ordered BN's lip balm base. I didn't even remember I had bought it. It's like Christmas when I start digging for stuff around here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunny Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 Ohhh.. You're gonna love the Apres Glow! And girl, why didn't you ask about the aloe! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasBrat Posted April 24, 2006 Author Share Posted April 24, 2006 Ohhh.. You're gonna love the Apres Glow! I got one from Guppygirl in the swap and I love it and want more. lolI think I had posted about the 200x aloe a long time ago but nobody really knew to much about it at the time. Judi also told me it is easier to make a large batch of it and have it on hand instead of trying to make exact amounts since the numbers can be weird. I am finally going to make your bootylicious body butter. If I need more help I'll give you a holler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
