Cheryl, I've never tried using them the way you have... and sorta can see why it wont' work... when we melt the waxes in a bit of oil for superfatting, they really do scent soap quite strongly... now...I've never tried melting them and then straining off the oil that I melted them in...to see if it retains the scent...but you might try that with the jojoba (obviously not with the alcohol!) since the wax is already in it...and it's sitting there doing nothing... it might be worth trying... perhaps double boiler it at a slow simmer for a few hours and then, once it cools, pour off the jojoba and see? another thought...we are so used to using jojoba interchangeably with cold pressed oils...I have come across SOME cases where that won't work...for example, the neem CO2 extract will dissolve in a cold pressed oil... and will NEVER dissolve in jojoba, no matter if you heat it, puree it..whatever... hope this is of some help...

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2004 Report Share Posted January 22, 2004 Hey Marge, Thanks, figured it was something like that. It was an experiment and wanted other opinions. Appreciate the ideas too.

For those folks especially, it is a nice way to experience a soap made with real rose or jasmine instead of using their fragrance oil counterparts instead. I've done it myself, made Rose and Jasmine soaps - cold process, hot process and M & P - it is just expensive. *Smile* Chris (list mom) http://www.alittleolfactory.com <http://www.alittleolfactory.com/> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(1/2 oz times six) I'd use probably two ounces of the floral wax...and one ounce of an EO blend. or one and a half of eo's. in our rose soaps... I use 3 parts rose wax, 2 parts rosewood essential oil, and one part true rose oil to scent them. In our " Mille Fleur " soap I use 4 oz of a blend of various 'floral' eo's, 2 oz of rose wax, and one oz of mimosa wax. does that give you some sort of idea? melt the wax in with whatever fixed oil you want to superfat with...and add at trace... (let the oil and wax stand in simmering water...if it cools down you are going to have a mess... solid wax on top of the oil...
