Guest guest Posted January 30, 2001 Report Share Posted January 30, 2001 Yes, I have. And I really like it. I use the ordinary one for salves and such and the fractionated coconut oil for massages and infused oils (as it is very stable and odourless). Cacao-butter is also nice. But I have a wonderful beeswax, completely natural, straight from the bees, from a friend who is a bee-keeper, and that is what I use most. It smells richly of honey.... Laurie.
