lanolin and meat grinders

[fatfacedcharlie]

Hi

I'm keen to incorporate lanolin in my shaving soap but I'm not sure how much to put in, does anyone have any suggestions? The other thing is I've read that lanolin is temperature sensitive and shouldn't be used over 110 f. My soap is still softish at that temp but no where near soft enough to stir stuff into it. I wonder if I put in all through a meat grinder a few times it might mix it evenly. Has anyone else tried something similar?

Thanks

Im guessing you are HPing? All oils are temp sensitive and lose qualities when heated. How hot is too hot depends on the oil. The meat grinder sounds like a neat idea. Never tried it, but it sounds like it could work. Make sure the grinder is made from a non reactive material.

I've read somewhere, don't remember where, to add max 2% lanolin (of oilweight)
more could make the soap sticky.
