skg Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 I want to make an emulsified butter and have everything except the stearic acid - could/should I up the e-wax or oils by that much or just plain omit it? Thanks, Sandy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheesequeen Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 Do you have cetyl alcohol? I've stopped using steric altogether and use cetyl, along with emulsifying conditioner or e-wax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skg Posted August 11, 2006 Author Share Posted August 11, 2006 Unfortunately not, and I wanted to make this as a gift to give tomorrow - lol - didnt buy what I needed I guess. Whats the difference between the stearic and cetyl alcohol? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheesequeen Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 They ae both thickeners, but I find the cetly gives a better "feel". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapermom Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 I never use ceytl or stearic. only Ewax or liquid poly. I love liquid poly!I am getting better at subbing and changing recipes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
