Oils for Lotion Bars

[Chaiat5]

Hi, y'all...

My husband is travelling for work and there are the more exotic oils and butters to be had where he is! These aren't to be found in my part of the world. He is able to bring me back some, so yayy! I've seen you guys sing praises to meadowfoam seed oil, so I should get some yes? Have you worked with any of these?

• Abyssinian oil
• Squalene olive oil
• Macadamia nut oil
• Tamanu oil
• Tsubaki oil
• Babassu oil

I'd appreciate the help so I can prioritize and narrow my choices down to maybe 2 oils. Thanks in advance!

That's awesome! Take advantage for sure!
I'm not familiar with a few you have listed, but for lotion bars I tend to use oils that are fast absorbing. Try looking for the absorbency rating for each and make a list of the properties you like for lotions.

So, major HECKYA on meadowfoam seed oil! You will want to bathe in it. Also, major YES on Abyssinian oil, it feels great on the skin. I'm not familiar with the others, look for them on Soap Queen maybe?
