TexasBrat Posted March 20, 2010 Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 Does anyone know a way to get the smell of smoke out of my Kokum butter. I received it that way when it was shipped to me. Do you think if I put some baking soda in a paper towel closed up in the bag that it might work? Other thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbara AL Posted March 20, 2010 Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 May I ask where you got your Kokum? Mine doesn't have a smoke smell it is refined it does smell a little like Cocoa Butter. Is your's unrefined?Barbara AL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasBrat Posted March 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 The person it came from was a smoker so the kokum has cigarette odor I want to remove. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marisa Posted March 20, 2010 Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 Have you Melted a piece of it and let it set back up to see if it still has that smell..Try that and see .Ive had smoke smell before , but it didnt stay in the melted product.It may not stick around ..Just a thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My cat is not allowed in my soap studio or my office.Smokers I totally understand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CareBear Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 (edited) What is the problem with ordering from people with pets? I don't understand the comment. My cat is not allowed in my soap studio or my office.Smokers I totally understand.I've received many things with pet hair on them. The worst, recently, are the clamshells (NO NOT FROM HERE) with cat hair in them. The things are static-y and I can't get all the cat hair out. I pour and then look and ewwwwwww! After hearing several times the "oh my cat isn't allowed in my work area" and still getting furry stuff I've decided it's not worth it.In fact, I rarely buy from individuals at all any more.ETA: I'm sure there are some who keep their stuff free of smoke and pet hair, but it's been an expensive lesson and one I'm tired of paying for.
