Oh, meadowfoam seed oil, meadowfoam seed oil, meadowfoam seed oil, where have you been all my life? I'm in my 50s and just now meeting you?! Oh, the missed decades!So I got a delivery today from Bulk Apothecary. I must have been SUI and got meadowfoam seed oil! I don't even know what it is or used in? LOL

PEOPLE! This stuff is the s---! I decided to make a special lotion bar for Mrs. Zing's Christmas -- 1/3 each of white beeswax, shea, and my new best friend that I wish I could fill a tub with and bathe in, meadowfoam seed oil. I think she'll like it. Must. Wrap. Now. And. Not. Touch.

Rats, the secret is out!! Yes, this stuff is ahhhh-mazing. Due to cost, I hoard mine and only make products with it for people I REALLY like.Oh, meadowfoam seed oil, meadowfoam seed oil, meadowfoam seed oil, where have you been all my life?

Yes, ma'am, you most certainly do. I like MFSO better than argan, which is saying a lot, bc I love argan!Well, SHOOT! How have I never heard of this MFSO?!! Do I need some?!
Those colors are perfect for that scent and name, and those swirls look great!I enjoyed this reply! On another note I made cucumber and melon soap. One of my favorite fragrances. I seriously need to buy stock in Nurture Soap
I just bought that fragrance for a friend. Looking forward to trying it out. Your soap is very pretty.I enjoyed this reply! On another note I made cucumber and melon soap. One of my favorite fragrances. I seriously need to buy stock in Nurture SoapView attachment 52646
I think your soap is lovely. I wonder does the cucumber melon FO discolor?I enjoyed this reply! On another note I made cucumber and melon soap. One of my favorite fragrances. I seriously need to buy stock in Nurture SoapView attachment 52646
I agree with one difference. Since I like everybody who buys my lotions & creams, everybody gets meadowfoam!Yes, this stuff is ahhhh-mazing. Due to cost, I hoard mine and only make products with it for people I REALLY like.
I've thought about trying masks, but I'm still playing with lotion bars and shampoo. Lol, my commute home of 18-20 minutes took an hour today. Granted, I had to stop and scrape the ice off my wiper blades so they could function, but that didn't take that long. I'm hoping my commute tomorrow has better visibility, at least.Ugh. So on Christmas Eve Eve, I decided to try something new and make a mud facial mask for Mrs. Zing's Christmas gift (she's definitely on the nice list, and loves masks). It was something new to try and God only knows how it will turn out!! This may have been a first and a last time what with all the sterilizing and various new substances. It was like something out of the movie The Blob -- it just kept expanding and foaming and overflowing the bowl and taking over my entire soap shop! Yikes-kers!
As a backup gift, at least I have the luxury lotion bars made with Meadowfoam Seed Oil (O, meadowfoam seed oil, meadowfoam seed oil, meadowfoam seed oil, I will write poems for you) to give to her in case the mask is a bust.
At the very least I discovered a wonderful new essential oil -- carrot seed! I love to garden and this scent smells like gardening -- ON A DAY WE'RE GETTING A BLIZZARD AND TEMPS IN THE SINGLE DIGITS!! [Hope all my Minnesota homies are safe and sound -- my commute of 2 miles was harrowing.] I need to research if carrot seed EO can go in CP soap.
LOL... I made an eye cream with carrot seed oil.... my husband commented that he doesn't like the smell and not to wear it to bed.Ugh.

I haven't gotten to shampoo yet -- more substances -- but lotion bars are such low hanging fruit. Gift recipients are amazed and they're so simple and cheap! And, as a new Minnesotan, what the heck is happening?! Chicago, for all its challenges, cleared their streets!! Hello, Minneapolis! I assumed Minnesotans knew how to handle winter!! Rant over.I've thought about trying masks, but I'm still playing with lotion bars and shampoo. Lol, my commute home of 18-20 minutes took an hour today.

I kept thinking of you tonight, @Misschief , because I know you do lotions and potions. For me, I'll do CP soap any day over this face mask stuff!! And, not to interfere in your marriage or anything, but I need to have a talking to with your husband about this carrot seed oil.....LOL... I made an eye cream with carrot seed oil.... my husband commented that he doesn't like the smell and not to wear it to bed.
LOL... nah, the nose is the nose, ya nose? I'll be honest, I was kind of turned off by the smell at first, too.I haven't gotten to shampoo yet -- more substances -- but lotion bars are such low hanging fruit.
