KristinesShower Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 They were actually wrapped up for an order together on their sides for about a week before I started seeing leakage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawaiiansun Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 I use the fco and fo also. Never tried it adding Vit E though. I've made a lot at 3:1 and it holds up nicely. The best roll on though is monoi oil. I make this for myself 100% monoi. It's expensive but so good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, I may have to sample some Monoi Oil.What is the shelf life of Monoi?I like the fact that FCO has an almost indefinite shelf life.

hawaiiansun Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 Don't quote me but from what I've read about Monoi De Tahiti, it has a shelf life from 1 - 2 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisasoaps Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 I have worked on these for a bit and here is my experience. Keep in mind I am no pro and I am still learning new things every day. First off the Vitamin E is to mainly prolong the shelf life and look good on the label in my IMO .I have tried using f/o, vit e, polysorbate 20 and jojoba oil and some fos still end up seperating. Now I just add jojoba and fo. I havent had any problems YET!!! lol. I only use fos that are stated to be skin safe. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecandlespastore Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 I made a roll on of pure monoi too, yummy! I guess if you want to be cost effective you can make 1/2 monoi and 1/2 regular coconut oil. Monoi is about the same price as your average pound of fragrance oil.

I like the fco cause it's light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
