Tussah silk

[freesia792]

Has anyone tried using tussah silk in lotion? I'm out of liquid silk. I just have foaming silk and no - not in my lotion. I have an entire bag of tussah silk. I want to add it to the water phase and strain when I combine the water and oil. Any thoughts? Is this stupid to attempt?

This could just be me talking out of my nose but why not dissolve in lye water and then neutralize the PH with Citric acid.

That absolutely should work!!

Please do let me know if it works as I have not tried this before.

I remember that Marie from Humblebee and me mentioned once that it did not dissolve for her for lotion. She suggest getting the hydrolized version, per this: https://www.humblebeeandme.com/?s=tussah+silk
