ladysj Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 (edited) I have a couple of recipes that I want to add IMP & cyclo to. I know I need to reduce the percentage on the oils but i"m not sure how much to take off of each. One of them is the whipped body frosting recipe on here. I was thinking about .5% of each or maybe 1% of each not sure. Edited January 15, 2012 by ladysj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitn Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 How much IPM and cyclo are you adding? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladysj Posted January 15, 2012 Author Share Posted January 15, 2012 I'm thinking 1% of each I can't find a percentage use recommendation for the IPM for some reason. I think I'm going to try a small batch decreasing the butters 2% & replacing with 1% of each Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chemistryman Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 cyclo? What do you mean? The only thing I have in my lab that begins like that is cyclopentasiloxane. If that's it, I wouldn't use more than 1% in a body cream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
