Guest guest Posted August 19, 2004 Report Share Posted August 19, 2004 Hi Folks, I am wondering if anyone here uses silk in their lotions and other toiletries? It is an ingredient I have been curious about using for a while, and really want to try it out. I just figured I'd see if anyone here would be willing to share and tips and techniques about using it .. and of anyone would like to trade a wee bit of something I have for a wee bit of silk you have so I can try it out *Smile* Chris (list mom) http://www.alittleolfactory.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 19, 2004 Report Share Posted August 19, 2004 Hey Chris, I have some hydrolized silk and some fibers. I use the fibers in the lye solution for my lavender silk, rosemary silk and calendula silk soaps. I think it adds a luxury feel to the suds. I make some lotions and use the liquid silk. I like the after feel it leaves just after you put the lotion on. It does feel very smooth. I used 1% in my last batch and it turned out quite nice. I can send you a smidge of both to try out if you like.

Guest guest Posted August 19, 2004 Report Share Posted August 19, 2004 Hi Chris, I use silk in soap--just a pea-sized ball of tussah (raw) silk cloth, shredded into the fibers and tossed into the lye right after I mix it. I have plenty if you want some ~winks~ I'm thinking you tried this years ago tho.

Guest guest Posted August 19, 2004 Report Share Posted August 19, 2004 Hey Chris, I have been using liquid silk (dang if I can remeber the " right " name for it) in my lotions, creams and elixirs, just because some of the best commercial face products I have used, had silk in it. But - the last batch of face cream I made, I descided to try my new liquid soy protein instead and let me tell you, I really think there is a difference. Can't sustain it scientifically, but the way that cream feels on the skin is wayyyyy above the ones I made before. And since I didn't change much else in the reciepe (exept for the EO's), I'm convinced that the soy protein did the trick. I know that some people are allergic to soy, but luckily I'm not one of them :-D Fragrant Blessings, Ylva Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
