Sherie Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 Girl this stuff is awesome. I don't have to get pedicures anymore. I got Ashley an electric pedicure bowl thingie for Christmas. I was using the dang thing at least once a week. Not anymore. I can do it once a month and use my butter daily. I have teenager feet now!!!!! Ashley even made a comment, lol!

TexasBrat Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 What did you heat the aloe up in and how did you keep it at 170 degrees for 20 minutes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CandleFreak Posted May 8, 2006 Author Share Posted May 8, 2006 I used a small (sanitized) stainless pot on the stove top on low/medium heat and just let it sit there for a while - approximately 20 minutes - while I measured and prepped other ingredientsif you do it this way it doesn't seem like such a hassle like I thought it would be......

TexasBrat Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 Thanks CF, that is what I was planning on doing too, guess I wasn't far off on what to do. I have been wanting to make this stuff for a loooong time now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CandleFreak Posted May 9, 2006 Author Share Posted May 9, 2006 I made this stuff today and it is some awesome stuff!!!!!! I can't wait to make a bigger batch, I only did a 20 oz to test it. I kept asking myself why I waited so long to try this???!!! It was actually pretty easy and I liked the results soooo much better than the regular whipped butters!!!!

Bunny Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 So glad ya'll like it! I've tweaked it a bit more since I posted the recipe.. I upped my water a tad and lowered my oils/butters. Also subbed out the glycerin for sodium lactate, and added a few more hard to pronouce things! I love it even more now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually have some of this!I ended up nixing the cetyl alcohol and IPM because I didn't have them.....what exactly do those 2 ingredients do for the recipe......I seriously need to start researching some additives now.....thanks Bunny....another freaking addiction!

TexasBrat Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 I had all the ingredients so I made it exactly but I want to try different oils and butters. I am not sure about playing with the emulsifiers and stuff yet since I'm still a newbie.CF, what did you use for your liquid? Aloe, water? I used some Aloe juice x100 I bought at STarville soaps.

CandleFreak Posted May 11, 2006 Author Share Posted May 11, 2006 I used the aloe juice from wal-marti upped oils and butters since i had some % points to play around with 'cause my lack of ca and ipmmy butters and oils were - sweet almond, apricot kernal,macadamia nut oil, kokum, mango, shea butterso my recipe looked like this57% aloe12% e-wax4% sweet almond oil4% apricot kernal oil4% macadamia nut oil4% glycerin4% kokum butter4% mango butter4% shea butter1% Dry Flo1% Preservative1% FO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasBrat Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Bunny mentioned that if you use the one from Walmart that the nasties would grow in it, have you had that trouble? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaybee23 Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Bunny mentioned that if you use the one from Walmart that the nasties would grow in it, have you had that trouble?She mentioned that to me too. So I am now using the aloe powder x100 and mixing with the water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CandleFreak Posted May 12, 2006 Author Share Posted May 12, 2006 I read that on the old forum link.......i think next time i am gonna try the aloe juice from the health store.....it's clear and unflavored and says it's distilled.....i'll make a few batches and see how that goes until i order the powder......

Bunny Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 Ok.. the sodium lactate leaves a wonderful powdery feel on your skin.. I wouldn't make a lotion without it!The aloe juice that comes prepared never would pass the "stick" test from snowdrift farms, much less a clinical APC or challenge test. While I didn't have visible mold, I would only use this for making a batch for myself. A small small batch.The cetyl is a co-emuslifier, helps the e-wax make sure the concontion doesn't seperate. The IPM gives it a glossy finish instead of a matte finish and helps it to soak in quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasBrat Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 Bunny, what is your opinion of this stuff?http://www.starrvillesoapworks.com/search.php?q=aloe+gel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunny Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 I would think the same of that stuff as I would any premade aloe gel/juice. Ok, ok.. You twisted my arm! Here's my source for it!http://www.thesynergy.com/supplies/extracts.htm#Aloe%20Vera%20Powder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
