Does anyone know if I am able to use coco oil 76 degree, shea butter and beeswax in order to make a lotion bar? I saw a recipe that says coco oil but it doesn't specify if its frac. or 76 degree. Thank you.

You can use either. But fractionated is less greasy feeling. Plus, coconut oil 76 will melt at 76 degrees, just something to keep in mind with summer coming up.

You can use just about any liquid oils that are used in food or soapmaking. The trick is to get your formula the way you like it.

Thank you Genny and soapbuddy, and my dumbness might be showing because I didn't realize why it's 76 degree coconut oil! i have some sweet almond oil and olive oil, but I can't stand olive oil no matter the benefits, I can't stand the smell, it's viscosity, and definitely the TASTE!! Lol
