Purple Lilac Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 I had a hard time finding some recipes as well using soy wax, so I just made up my own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funnygirl Posted January 5, 2007 Author Share Posted January 5, 2007 o, how do you like it? What charecteristics does it add to soap? I would think it would add hardness, and some moisture???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeavenScentU Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 I have been doing lots of research and came across a recipe but it called for soy oil, but I will keep searching. I printed out tons of recipes and will go through what I have and if I come across any soy wax soap I will let post it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lisajo Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 I love 100% soy wax in soap. I use between 10-20%. Makes a super hard bar & adds creaminess too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kymber Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 I have a recipe that uses soy wax...as a matter of fact my son swears by this soap. Says he has never used anything that cuts grease better then His Mom's Soap! LOL And he brags about it to all is friends too....he is 18. Anyway pm me if you want the recipe.

eugenia Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 It makes sense. Some people add beeswax or stearic for a harder bar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gypsyjen Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHERE I CAN FIND CLAMSHELL PACKAGING FOR INDUVIDAUL BARS OF SOAP. ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED. JAMIEHi and welcome to the forum. I just wanted to give you a few pointers on forum etiquette that will make your visit here more enjoyable.First, constant yelling is not necessary and not appreciated. Please take your keyboard off caps lock. People will be more responsive to you if you are not yelling at them.Second, if you are going to ask a question that's completely off topic from the original post, it is always a good idea to start your own thread. You will have a much better chance of getting your questions answered this way.Thank you and, again, welcome to our community. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I havent seen any recipes that call for it.Hi funnygirl,I've used it in place of beeswax before. I didn't notice much difference at that low an amount. It might be fun to play with higher percentages to see what it does to the soap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtybirdsoaps Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 Maybe a stupid question, but are all of you talking about 100% soy wax that you can use to make soy candles. Ive been making soy candles for a while now and have been starting B & B products as well. It would come in very handy if I could use the same inventory.

funnygirl Posted January 6, 2007 Author Share Posted January 6, 2007 Yep. I was asking about the 100% pure soy flakes I use in candle making. I use Golden Brands 415, so I thought if I could use it in soaps too that would be great. I got ahold of a recipe and used it in my Patchouli & Blackberry soap I just made. Of course I wont know how it acts as far as lather/conditioning until about Feb 1st, LOL! But it was really nice to work with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CareBear Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 I made a batch myself, with some unidentified (not golden) 100% soy container wax. Now we wait... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
