Soy Wax

[DeerBunny]

So I have a bunch of soy wax shavings sitting around from a candle making phase... Any fun ideas for B&B products I could make from them?

As long as they are 100% hydrogenated soybean oil, with no additives, you can use SW for a lot of things. I use SW in body soap and shaving soap, lip balm (as a partial replacement for cocoa butter), and in a "conditioning cream pomade" that I use in my hair. I love the fact that SW washes out easier than beeswax, and its high melting point keeps my hair from looking greasy in hot weather (butters just melt when the weather is hot).

Oh fun! Thanks, I'll look into those.
