Hi Bobbye,

 

I made candles with mine. The first ones I made were paraffin candles. I plan

on making some soy candles with the wax next week. It's hard finding just the

right amount of Fwax to normal wax... But it's coming out about 1 ounce per

pound to give a GOOD cold throw. In fact, I JUST lit a floating Orange Blossom

candle... I want to see what the throw is like on it.

Have any of you soaped with your Floral Waxes yet? What blends did

you use?

 

Have you made lotions or creams? What did you mix together.

 

Just asking for some great ideas to use these wonderful waxes.

 

Warmly,

Hey Bobbye,

 

I have to go and dig into my notes. I've been playing around with them a

bit, but really haven't done enough playing over the past few weeks due

to being under the weather (blah! curses to these colds! .

 

As soon as I get a chance I'll both post some recipes and play more to

make some new recipes!

 

Meanwhile check out the recipes section at

http://www.makeyourowncosmetics.com . They list quite a few recipes with

floral waxes in them. You can get some nice ideas over there.

I made some cuticle butter yesterday with some of mine. So you can make as much

as you want I'll post recipe in %.

20% Beeswax

5% floral wax ( I had Rose)

15% Brittle Oil (like Cocoa Butter, Palm Kernal[i used Cocoa Butter])

40% liquid oil( I infused 35% with Fractionated Coconut with Calendula,

Chamomile and Lavender, then addeld 5% Rose hip seed oil)

20% Solid at Room Temp oil ( I used Shea Butter)

 

Melt all together and pour into small jars or tins.

 

This came out very hard. Next time I'll either cut back on the beeswax or up my

liquid oil.

 

Happy experimenting!
