Crafty1 Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Got my samples yesterday for the Glaze and Soy Whip. Like them both, but am leaning moreso towards the Soy whip. Decided to do a little research before committing to a large supply and discovered that they had some problems in the past with mold, seperation and/or the whip liquidfying (sp?). can anyone shed some light on whether or not this problem still exists or what I should do to the base to prevent problems from occuring?

tarynjms Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 I did the same as you & got the samples & like the whip best, but decided against it because of all the questionable reviews. If it were just one or two isolated cases I would've disreguarded it, as a one time bad batch, but there are several threads about this that have negatives. I also got samples from www.essentialsbycatalina & found their body frosting to have a similar consistency,(not the same ingredients though) etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meridith Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 I've been using the whip since it came out and haven't had one problem with it even when others did. I know there were some issues when it first came out, but the recipe or the way its made has been changed and I haven't heard of a problem since then.

Does it thin it, change the texture, etc? Also, is it mostly FO with vanilla in it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbrown Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 I have purchased this base and I have not had problems with mold. I called when I was considering ordering and spoke with someone at KY and was instructed not to add any additional oils except for the FO. I wanted to customize the base by adding more good oils and was told not to because this will interfer with the preservatives. I have decided not to continue using this base becasue I don't like the thickness(not because of molding issues) It is just to thick for me. I have tried using the mixer and whipping to try and smooth it out some and without additional oils it just won't work. I am on a mission for a better base. I am also trying to come with with my own recipe for a nice moisturizer. I have my body butter and a light moisturizer. My problem is coming up with something in between the two.

Cindy/WI Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 I love the soy whip and been useing it since it came out and even when others were having problems I never did. I sell a lot of it and have been very happy every time I've ordered it from KY. HTH Cindy/WI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angel91805 Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Ha! There must be several of us on the same wave length. Last week I got samples from KY of the glaze and whip AND from EBC the whipped body frosting (amongst other things)! I just like them all!Seriously....I think I like KY's Glaze better then their Whip. And I like EBC's Whipped Body Frosting better than KY's Whip. Still doing the not-so-scentific testing. (Read that as: back of left hand gets Whip every day a few times and back of right hand gets Frosting a few times every day!) Donna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLSoaps Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 I visited the KY site to try and get a grasp on what type of a product the Soy Whip is. Ingredients wise, it's a very thick cream. Stearic Acid acts as a thickener in lotions, and on both the Body Glaze and the Soy Whip, it seems incredibly HIGH to me. I make Custom Lotion Bases, and I can tell you that I typically use Stearic at about 1-3%. Where it falls in their ingredient listing tells me its significantly higher than that. There's really not much skin benefit from Stearic Acid, it's pretty much mostly added as a thickener and to add body. I can see it's use in a whipped lotion if you're wanting the whip to stay like a whipped butter would. I also can't imagine not being able to add any oils to the soy whip. Ingredients wise it's incredibly limited. Only the Soy Oil has any kind of beneficial properties. I can understand your disappointment in not being able to add anything other than FO. If you're serious about searching for someone new for your bases, come talk to me. I'm sure we can create something that you'll love.

teresa2625 Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Can someone tell me the diffrence between body glaze, body butter & soy whipped lotions from Ky please? I ordered a sample of the soy whip & body glaze from Ky, Is it just a diffrence in the thickness? Do you put it on face & body like lotion? Sorry, this is my first time doing this and wanting to make a gift basket for my friend & my mom. Thanks again for everyones help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
