Cyclo question

[Jami]

Can cyclo be used in anything besides body sprays? I have accumulated ALOT of recipes for lotions, body meringue, body butter etc but none call for cyclo.

What else can I use cyclo in?

You can use it in bath salts as the carrier oil.

I add a little to whipped body butters.

i add little to my whipped butters and my lotions

[Jami]

Thanks crafty and luci. I wondered if it could be added to body butter or lotion. I was going to try it but keep it low at 1% just to see what it does lol

How much do you add or do you use it in replace of something like IPM to cut down on the greasiness?

i have used it in lotions, whipped butters and bath bombs

It cuts the greasies much like IPM would, yep, so you can replace IPM with it. It can used for a lot of things, really, just about anything you want to cut greasies in, though some at the Soap Dish have discussed a possible buildup of 'cones on the hair, leaving hair in a bad condition.

I've used it in emulsified body butters, lotions, & body creams.

Just wanted to say thanks for everyone's feedback. I "thought" it could be used like IPM but wanted to make sure.

I have a big shipment of jars and bottles coming tomorrow from WSP so I will be ready to try more recipes out and will definitely give the cyclo a try

I wish someone would have warned me just how addicting BB recipes can be lol

I use cyclo in my body frostings and butters, and I also use it as a linen spray/air freshener.... doesn't leave you with wet linens. Doesn't stain either. You just have to make sure that you put it in a FINE mister... and instruct them not to saturate everything in sight. LOL (like me)....
