Pumpkin Seed Oil # 1

[LunaSkye]

I am bumping this because hubby found some pumpkin seed oil at Trader Joe's, and has bought several containers because he used to live in Austria and its hard to get here in the US and he is all excited about having a stash of pumpkin oil... Of course my interest in this new fatty acid is for other reasons - this thread in particular.

Hubby says I cant touch any of his precious pumpkin oil until I figure out EXACTLY how much I need (which I can figure out from this post, 10-15%, and he decides if hes willing to share) and I get a report back that the soap is still lovely and wonderful. Oh and does it still smell a bit nutty?

Help a fellow soaper out EG?

WSP has pumpkin oil that you can try at $2.95 per 2oz. That would be good for me since I tend to make small batches (most have been 10oz batches).

Hmmm, okay how are you at baking? I suggest you tell him if he gives you 10 ounces of oil then you will make him milchrahmstrudel. Here is a link to a decent recipe (google translate!) If he lived in Austria chances are he'll give you the oil if you make this.

What is translated as plug is cream cheese.
Had a hard time getting that link to work, let me know if it fails

I go to trader joes often and all I have seen there is toasted pumpkin seed oil. If yours isn't toasted I need to go check cuz I really want to use skme in lotion. I have always avoided toasted oils for soap. I am pretty sure they would still make soap though I don't know for sure.
