making solid lotion bars for christmas presents, need about 120+ bars!
most items are on its way from wsp- tins, candelilla wax....plus lanolin.
i made small personal batch with beeswax, butters and oils (1:1:1) and i love it!
but back to lanolin. its a wax but very water loving. is it ok to use in a solid lotion bar? most recipes (nearly all) do not include lanolin even though this stuff is supposed to be so good for the skin.
is it b/c its so water loving- a safety/bacteria issue? or the smell?
i would like to use about 5-10% lanolin for oils portion.
any thoughts or experience to share?
thanks!
