There are several online soap making sites that have it much cheaper. Next time I will try the pellets for quicker melting.Anitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18443223419294735273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7689362661450736563.post-71147826450813130802011-03-03T22:59:58.476-06:002011-03-03T22:59:58.476-06:00I've been using coconut oil for about a year n...I've been using coconut oil for about a year now for moisturizing, and it is wonderful. I also started making deodorant--coconut oil, baking soda and cornstarch with the tea tree and lavender oils. Really nice!<br />I have never heard of a "hard lotion" before.<br />Where did you get a good price on beeswax? I've looked but it is SO expensive!<br />Great, informative post!April Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17742772422750681492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7689362661450736563.post-35650003486390834822011-03-03T20:02:40.104-06:002011-03-03T20:02:40.104-06:00Glad to know is working for you.

They are the perfect size for holding in your hand to warm up and then rub on your skin. I keep mine in a ziploc bag in the bathroom. I use Sweet Almond Oil and Hazelnut Oil as well as coconut oil in my lotion. Mainly because I found some at the Salvage Grocery. (We bought seven jars of Coconut Oil for $2 each). I've been using Coconut Oil by itself and also mixed with baking soda and cornstarch for deoderant. So far it's working great, but we'll have to wait and see how it does through the summer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
