Mineralesque Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 I have made some fbb (with out sugar) and gave out samples to friends and family. They all love it but ask if there is a way to put it in pump style bottles or foaming bottles. Has anyone figured out a recipe that would work with this and won't mind sharing with me?Thanking you in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mslegacy Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 I dont think you can use FBB in the foaming pumps, but hey, if you play enough, who knows? I have several of the foaming pumps, and it only requires a small amount of liquid soap and alot of water. With the FBB being a butter, and more on the solid texture, I dont believe it will work. And if you play with FBB for awhile to find a recipe that would be liquid enough, I dont think it would have the foaming qualities it does now. Plus you would have to be concerned with preservatives etc....because you are changing the "texture" of the FBB alot. But you never know....maybe you can find a way to use it that way. Keep testing, and be the mad scientist most of us formulators are! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mineralesque Posted June 24, 2007 Author Share Posted June 24, 2007 Thank you for your reply. I like the texture the way that it is. But, I will keep playing with it and testing. Maybe it will just work in regular pump. I want to see if it will work in the Malibu tubes too. I need to go play now.Thank you again.

Luci Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 I tried using it in the malibu tubes--never again. I ended up throwing all of them away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mineralesque Posted June 24, 2007 Author Share Posted June 24, 2007 Oh...was the the consistency of the fbb? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luci Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 Yes, it was just too thick to be easily dispensed through a malibu. I also tried a couple of other bottle types with no success, so I use jars now.Actually, I gave out a LOT of fbb in beautiful fragrances for folks to try, but it didn't get an overwhelming response. I use it strictly for scrubs now, and it's finally selling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jadryga Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 I need to go play now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mineralesque Posted June 24, 2007 Author Share Posted June 24, 2007 I will make a scrub out of it. I have been wanting to try it like that. Thank you for your input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mslegacy Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 Hey, I am glad I could help! I have been playing alot with my FBB, and I think I am going to have to buy more...:tiptoe: I have been making it in scrubs, and love it! I have tried it regular, and didnt care for it. But......I was working on a whipped body butter. I dont like the whipped shea after it sits for a day, gets kinda hard, like cool-whip that sits for a day and kinda dries out. But I like the way it melts on my skin on contact, but dont like the greasy feeling afterwards. So I didnt have alot of things to play with at the time, and figured since I like the texture of the FBB, why not add some? Well, the result at first I didnt like, I added more, and then a little bit more....and then a tad bit more. It created this very creamy butter. I tried it as a lotion, but you get that soapy feel. Jumped into the shower with it, but it doesnt lather. And the recipe after testing it in the shower, felt like wax on your skin.....but.....It is awesome for shaving! Nice close shave, and my legs felt awesome! I dont know if the razor itself took the waxy feel away or not, but my legs were soft, smooth and wonderful! So, I have to make up more batches, try them out etc....and then I will start my testers on them. So, play with it, have fun, you never know what you will end up with.....(Just make sure it will be safe!)Good Luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mineralesque Posted June 24, 2007 Author Share Posted June 24, 2007 I have been looking in to whipped butters too but haven't attempted yet. I have alot of things...I just need the time to test. I am definately going to work on scrubs. It is so exciting to create things. I LOVE IT!! Even more exciting when others love what I make.I appreciately all the tips from here. I love hanging out and learning on this forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heaven Scents Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 I put fbb in bottles with pumps and jars. It went into the bottle a lot easier than I am able to get it out. My opinion is to stick with the jar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mineralesque Posted June 26, 2007 Author Share Posted June 26, 2007 Thank you. I think that I will stick to the jars too. I will search for a liquid soap base that can be used for foaming or other type of pump.You have all been helpful. Now to find a nice liquid soap base.
