lotion bar question

[islandbeauty]

Hi, I am interested in making lotion bars...My question is could i use candelilla or carnauba wax instead of beeswax...or is it that beeswax would be the more better wax to use when making lotion bars? any help would be appreciated...thanks

you can use any wax - actually either of those would be great and less likely to cause the "drag" of beeswax. you will have to re-think your ratios tho, you would use less of either of those than beeswax.

keep in mind they harden more slowly than BW, so give them your stuff at LEAST 3 days before making any determinations...

thank you so much for getting back at me...
