mslegacy Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Ok, I was "creating" last night with my FBB from the Co-op. I was actually making a Body Butter, but decided to add FBB to see if I could get it creamier instead of harder. What resulted was an awesome creamy butter soap for the shower/bath. I love this stuff. Sorry, cant give recipe, because I am going to still play, but I may use it for the next swap I am in. Anyways, the ingredients I used was 8oz of FBB, and 1 or 2 oz of the following: Cocoa Butter, Shea Butter, Coconut Oil, Olive oil, Jojoba Oil, Beeswax and Fragrance. My Question is: I understand that the FBB has the preservative already in it, and supposedly compensates for the extra oils, but does anyone know how much oil it compensates for? Should I add a preservative to be safe, and if so, which one would be the best? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LovelyLathers Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 I would call or email the chemistry store for the answer to this. This is where it came from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michele Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Careful adding more pres to a FBB as it changes the chemical balance. You want to add no more than 5% additives to an FBB and that includes pres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kymber Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 I would call or email the chemistry store for the answer to this. This is where it came from.I tried that route and they chose not to reply. I add several items to mine and wanted to know "where" on the ingredients list I should add them. No response. That was over a week ago.

Luci Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 I've called John at Chemistry Store several times with this same type question. He's always been quick to return my calls or emails. However, it's been a couple of months since my last inquiry, so something could have changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
