Teach Soap

Hi dragonlady,

Thank you. This is a great idea.

I finally infused some oil, but I got very little infused out of the amount of jojoba oil I started with.

Do I need to add fresh jojoba oil, to equal the amount of infused oil called for in the original recipe?

Can I use the infuse jojoba oil and then add a different kind of straight oil to make up the difference?

Thank you,
einnoc

the info i posted allowes you to make "a whole bunch" of oil which no doubtedly will be much more than this recipe calls for. the mason jar is 32 oz. what's good about it is that you will have it for other recipes, or more of the same with out constantly simmering oil.

>Do I need to add fresh jojoba oil, to equal the amount of infused oil called for in the original recipe?


yes you can. you can take what you have now and weigh it. if you have less infused oil than is called for in the recipe, you can add fresh jojoba up to the amount called for.

>Can I use the infuse jojoba oil and then add a different kind of straight oil to make up the difference?


sure. again weigh out the amount of infused jojoba oil you have and add the other oil to make up the difference. other oils you can add are avacado, olive oil, grape seed and sweet almond. olive oil will tend to be heavier, and grape seed will be lighter in consistancy.

soapbuddy, anything i'm missing?

DragonLady, Thank you again.

Can I mix these oils together? For example, if I used the infused jojoba oil and them added sweet almond oil to make up the difference, would there be any benefit in doing this?

Thank you, DragonLady. This sounds good! Much better than simmering!

NP. let me know how it works out for you! don't forget that in the summer time, you can put your mason jar outside in direct sunlight to achieve the same results.
