    Help with a lard recipe

    Hmmm... I think I will go with 50% then, how much coconut would you recommend with that? I may do the remainder avocado and a little castor. How would that be, with no oo?

    Embedding Cold Process into Melt and Pour ???

    That's STUNNING!! I have some questions, you had to make 2 batches of cp? How long did you wait (you said you gelled) before putting the MY layer? How do you think it would go with hp?

    Help with a lard recipe

    I read somewhere, maybe here, not to heat the lard over 120% or it would smell funny, is there validity to this? Should it not be used in hp?

    Minimalistic hanger swirl

    I love the color, nice job! I was going to attempt it today, but ended up with serious acceleration! Had to go to plan B, I wasn't happy

    Help with a lard recipe

    Wow!! I'm glad that I waited!! I'll try tomorrow! I like the idea of leaving out the palm for comparison sake. I read somewhere, maybe here, not to heat the lard over 120% or it would smell funny, is there validity to this? Should it not be used in hp?

    Embedding Cold Process into Melt and Pour ???

    Wow! Cool! I'm wanting to do watermelon. Cp as the rind and mp as the red. It doesn't really matter to me which is on the bottom, whichever will lend itself best to this process!

    Embedding Cold Process into Melt and Pour ???

    I am wanting to put a layer of cp onto melt and pour, any recommendations? I was thinking that I should put the cp layer on when the mold is firm, but not completely set up, and alcohol of course.

    Help with a lard recipe

    ive never used the Armour lard, but I want to try a batch for comparison sake. I'm not real sure what to use with it, I have on hand coconut oil, oil palm kernel flakes, olive oil, avocado oil, canola oil, crisco shortening, grapeseed oil and castor. I was thinking 20% lard, 20% palm, 20%...

    Nice sale, essential Depot

    60% off MANY fragrance oils and essential oils, I just CLEANED UP!! Also, 32 lbs lye for $55. Good sales. They are a 2 hr drive from me, I considered ordering the palm oil that's also on sale and driving over! Maybe next time!

    What's rosehip oils best for?

    Oh, as a 'destash', I guess I had better use it right away. Thanx, I look forward to making a good facial moisturizer!

    What's rosehip oils best for?

    Hmmm... I don't yet have anything for my face! Good! What else? Is it wasteful to use as a carrier for EOs roll on? Body butter?

    I'm getting frustrated with EOs

    Actually, I have finally used a few and I DO notice I can smell them in the shower better.

    Some Oils that heat up more than others?

    So, I was correct in calling it HPOP, or not? So much terminology!
