Christine Flapp Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 I need advice about thickeners. I want to thicken carrier oils so I can use them as body butter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapermom Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 so you want to make body butter with No butters...you are gonna have to play with your ratios of ewax,stearic acid and/or beeswax. You can get a thick lotion with no butters, but without them its hard to get the feel of one, without going to more specialized chemicals and processes(this is just in my own experiences thus far) you can whip your thick lotion and get a very body butter like feel to them, but I haven't been able to stabilize this for a long shelf life without a butter in them.. they ultimately lose volume on me.Hopefully someone with more experience can help you out more.

cmille3 Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 Vegethix (hydrogenated soybean powder) is wonderful!! Heat your oil, add the powder, and let the powder dissolve in the oil. Once it cools down, you'll have a lump of any oil butter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
