https://community.qvc.com/t5/Beauty/Has-anyone-done-THIS-before/m-p/272002#M62131 <P>So I have been thinking of an experiment lately. I have an abundance of Josie's Argan oil, as well as a couple Maracuja bottles that I doubt I will utilize since I am not fond of the Maracuja.</P> <P>At one time, about 15 years ago my skin started to get very sensitive. I had been given a wonderful bar of home crafted soap to use which really improved my skin dryness. In hindsight it was because I had moved from a fairly humid environment to the high desert with single-digit humidity but at the time I was so distressed I didn't think of that. So I started making my own soap which I found fun and very therapeutic, not to mention made great gifts when coupled with a nice jar of homemade bath salts. As a single mom who was a full-time college student, economic was important when trying to stretch my very limited budget.</P> <P>So I utilized a variety of oils... but never Argan or Maracuja. But I do know chemistry, and they should act completely the same. Oil is oil is oil. Some have better properties for the skin, but oil is oil.</P> <P>Has anyone made soap using argan or maracuja? Or even better yet, have they tried whipping it up into a body butter? I have some palm oil and I think I have some coconut oil here as well as some pure organic shea butter, not to mention olive. But I was toying with the thought of tossing some into the KitchenAid and whipping it up. Soap making can take a lon time, since it has to cure for 30 days but whipping the oil shouldn't take near that long, lol!</P> <P>Any feedback is welcome. I guess I am just in an experimenting mood!</P> Tue, 27 Nov 2012 23:32:04 GMT Cosmetics_Crazy 2012-11-27T23:32:04Z https://community.qvc.com/t5/Beauty/Has-anyone-done-THIS-before/m-p/272002#M62131 <P>So I have been thinking of an experiment lately.
