Yesterday I made a batch of lotion bars, using 30% Shea and 70% cocoa butter. Mixed in a glass bowl over a saucepan as usual.
After a full day in chilly temperature - they weren't set. I put the mould in a sink of cold water over night - still not set.
The liquid is cold, but still liquid. Curious indeed.
I did try 2 new scent mixtures - 3x lavender and 1 x lemongrass in half the mix, 2x black pepper to 1x mandarin in the other. Nothing totally new and outrages (smells lovely, though!)
Would appreciate thoughts on it all. I popped it in to the fridge which seemed to be working when I left for work, so can see tonight how they are
