Ricebran Oil

[gekko62]

I want to soap ricebran oil.My research says properties are similar to olive(great OO shortage of whenever)but what about hardness factor? Soapcalc says OO has a low hardness value but we all know that aint true.Is ricebran similar in that regard,or does soapcalc give an accurate description?

I LOVE RBO! It is less slimy than olive oil. I don't notice a difference in that is isn't hard as use both olive and rbo in my soaps most of the time.

i have used RBO and my soap turns out nice and hard.

I used to use 50% OO in my soaps, now I use 25% OO & 25% RBO. I love it. The soaps are nice and hard, lather well, and using RBO helps keep my costs down.

I like RBO in soap also.

For those of you who are near a Campbells Cash & Carry wholesale grocer, I got a drum of RBO today for $58.99 - works out to $2.95/L.

Last time I bought a 20L drum of RBO, I paid $133 including shipping.

 

[whisks]

do you guys add the RBO because you like the soap better with some RBO replacing the OO, or is it about the same?

also, does one still have to be a member to buy from campbells?

 

[ChrissyB]

Do you remember that crazy lady in the ads for Campbells, I think it was in the 80's? Delilah I think her name was.

now you mention it, i do remember her...omg....

i remember going to cambell's yonks ago and i really didn't find them cheap - it just had lots of stuff....but the RBO price sounds okay.

 

[Becky]

Yep, you need an ABN & to sign up to buy at Campbells. For those of you that live closer to oil suppliers and therefore pay less shipping it may not be such a savings, but for me it's huge!

 

[whisks]

so, becky, do you have to pay for membership?

talking about membership, i can't wait for costco to get to sydney; if they sell as much stuff as i'm told at such fabulous prices, i'll be in seventh heaven.

 

[Becky]

Nope, no cost. All you do is fill in a form and wait while they put you in the system & give you a members card.

 

[whisks]

thanks, becky.....now...do i really want to go to campbells??? just think of all the things i'll see in there....

Rice Bran Oil

I love RBO and use it 50/50 with olive oil. It is less expensive and easy to come by.
