deb426 Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 I just got my newsletter from Peaks and there is a recipe for Lotion Bars that I would love to try. I make soy candles and I just want to make these for me, not to sell. For all you B&B people, I have a dumb question. The recipe ingredients call for Ecosoya Container Blend 135. I use C-3. Does anyone know if I could use the C-3 instead of the Ecosoya? I don't want to have to buy new wax for these but would love to mess around making some if I can use the wax I have.TIADeb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judyvega Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 I saw those, too, Deb - I think they would be fun to try - sorry, don't know the answer to your question, but just thought I'd chime in anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deb426 Posted July 16, 2009 Author Share Posted July 16, 2009 Well Judy, I'm going to give it a shot. I just bought some beeswax off the classies and I'll let you know how it turns out:cheesy2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, let me know - I think that would be a fun thing to do just for me and my mom, if nothing else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I can get them done today then I will take a couple to my craft show tomorrow to test how they hold up in the outdoor heat. But if you look in the tutorial section soapbuddy has a lotion bar tutorial and I like that recipe too. I am just wondering if I can sub olive oil for my liquid oil for her recipe.

CareBear Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 not necessarily - it would depend on the wax additives (if any) and whether they are skin safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deb426 Posted July 27, 2009 Author Share Posted July 27, 2009 Okay, I made these using C-3 instead of the Ecosoya and they came out just fine. I used Warm Vanilla Sugar from Millcreek and I love them. They were super easy to make. Has anyone else tried this recipe? I'm interested in hearing from someone with more experience than me. Which would cover just about everybody. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
