Guest guest Posted June 1, 2005 Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 I did a little experimenting with the Orange Wax from the prebuy. Wanted to let everyone know my observations. I didnt even think about the fact that this stuff is so concentrated that it can leave an orange glow on your skin in high amounts :-) Might be good in a tanning lotion. I just substituted .7 oz in my repair balm recipe that calls for 2.7 oz of beeswax and about 5.3 oz of oils, butters and milk. I noticed a few things. 1. It smells a little like orange creamsicle when it is heating :-) 2. It definately softened the stick but just about a perfect amount to make it nicer and creamier 3. I think it is the maximum amount I would use in this recipe as it may leave an orange glow on the skin at a higher amount. 4. The stick smells like oranges 5. It emulsified beautifully, better than it ever has. This wax is powerful stuff so a little is going to go a long way! I think next time I will cut it down to about . 5 oz. Cant wait to try it in a lotion, maybe tonight :-)) I am sure it will color the lotion to a lovely light orange color used at a very small ratio as well as naturally fragrance the lotion. Anyway hope that helps with anyone also experimenting :-) Tracy Tappin (BC Canada) Goat's Milk Skin Care http://www.goatmilkskincare.com CAE Tested and CL Free LaMancha Dairy Goat's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 1, 2005 Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 Would orange wax have the same skin sensitizing as most citrus oils? (avoiding sun when using it etc)?
