OutlandishLady Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 Had an unexpected hour to myself and decided to play with the FBB. Strapped on the 'Pod and went to work. Here's what I came up with:9 oz FBB1.8 oz shea OIL.8 SAO1 tsp hydrovance.1 oz FO.1 PhenonipHalf cup sugarThrew it all in the KAid and set on slow long enough to keep the stuff from flinging out then up to high. Scraped the sides a few times (usually after about 5 minutes whip time). Added sugar last. This fills a 16 oz container. Used on my hands and so far they feel very yummy, no dryness. So signs of getting hard or seperation. OK, maybe a bit more than .1 FO but I'm a scent slut Feel free to sub away. Enjoy!Footnote: Apres shower, I was not happy with the "scrubby" level so will add more sugar next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunny Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 I don't remember sugar being in mine.. Just salt in the apres glow! Am fixin to order my first hydrovance, do ya like it? Can you tell a difference? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutlandishLady Posted April 25, 2006 Author Share Posted April 25, 2006 The jury is still out on the Hydrovance. I haven't used it much with the FBB, but I have used it in lotion. To me it gives a "cool" feeling (does that make sense?) and definitely adds slip. I'm going to add a bit less to my next lotion batch and see if I like it a bit better. I have some customers that like the feel, some don't. I think with summer coming it will add a little something to the lotion that will be popular.Could I BE more vague?!?

Bunny Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 Vague?? Not at all! I appreciate your thoughts on it! I'm normally a sodium lactate user for my lotions and creams, so I can't wait to tell the difference! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenniejr Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 Woohoo!! That sounds great Malinda! Now I have a use for all that FBB I ordered! It's good to be a scent slut! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carol M Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 That sounds good. I have about 5# of FBB that have been sitting in my garage since before Christmas that I have been needing to do something with, and I just got some Hydrovance in last week. Does the FBB still lather with that much oil? I hope so, because when I tried the suggested recipe on the KBB site, it was just too drying for me with the small amount of oil added that they recommended. Don't want to lose the bubbles, though. Thanks for sharing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutlandishLady Posted April 26, 2006 Author Share Posted April 26, 2006 Hey I love my 'Pod Yes it still has bubbles, though I am not a BIG bubble fan. I may try adding some glycerine next time too. Though definitely more sugar as I like a real vigorous scrub.....Used this again today with my pouf and it bubbles like a .... well, it bubbles a lot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
