Nature finds a way! While it may not be perfect, all those steps help I bet...but that must be frustrating!

I understand! I think I saw you say something similar in another post, I appreciate you looking out for people, your posts helped me realize I'll need to wait and jump through hoops to sell sunscreen if ever.

I appreciate the source searching and making sure to put good information out there. I should try to keep in mind that just because I have a hammer doesn't mean everything is a nail lol

I see, thank you! I'm not sure why all fats and oils would necessarily increase the effects of the sun. I figure maybe saturated fats would be different. But yes I'll wait until I can have it legitimately tested before further experimenting in this area, thank you.

Thank you for sharing! I didn't see any information on tallow and macadamia oil effectiveness but it's really the zinc oxide that's the main active ingredient in the sunscreen I made. I don't know if tallow and mac oil enhance, weaken, or don't affect the ability of the sunscreen to block the...

I see! Thank you, I'll make sure not to worry about selling sunscreen until I'm able to do it the right way. As for oil burning I haven't had that problem with mine yet but I haven't tested it on a full day in the sun. I'll put it to the test, maybe the kind of fat matters?

I will try it, thank you!!

Hello everyone, MooMac here. I'm having trouble cleaning my stainless steel pitcher! I used some recipes online like from bumblebeeapothecary and other places to make my own sunscreen cream. It works great! Mostly macadamia oil and tallow, absorbs wonderfully and spread evenly. It's a non...

That trolley sounds awesome! Thank you for sharing :)

I will look into the air purifier, any recommendations on the kind? I was thinking maybe a fan blowing away from my setup might help too!

Thank you, good suggestions! While I'm saponifying the soap mix is open to the air, do you think I can cover it? I don't have a garage and there's a good amount of hair in the air...I will definitely be brushing my cat more often

Hey all, MooMac here. I live in a small apartment currently with a cat, the cat loves to leave its hair in the air and on furniture. I'm not sure where to go or what to do to make sure hair doesn't get into my soaps and other products...what have you all tried and what do you suggest? Things...

I see, thank you!

I see, I thought that website I mentioned said vinegar is not a chelator. Is it more like a sort of almost chelator? You've definitely noticed the difference when incorporating vinegar though? Thank you!

Interesting! I've heard a lot of different opinions on adding ACV to soap, why di you use it and what do you notice? Or are you saying you use vinegar and apple cider in your soaps? Still curious on the effects that would have! On the ultimate soap hp website I think it was, they didn't seem to...

Disheartening but makes sense!

That foot experiment was interesting! Thank you for sharing :) My thoughts on chive powder aren't super developed yet. Mostly I grow chives so i want to find many uses for them. Chives seem to have benefits when consumed so I figure they may have benefits when applied. Chives solutions have been...

I hear tallow can last up to a year or so being left out. But I imagine heat and humidity can really change that?

I hear that! I think tallow and macadamia absorb at record speeds, I find coconut oil takes a bit in comparison. I definitely don't want anyone to try a sample and walk away feeling icky.

Yes tallow is great on the skin I find! I mix tallow and macadamia oil into a balm / salve, not sure the difference, and it absorbs readily. Macadamia oil is close in composition to the oils of our skin supposedly, and tallow too. Strong combination imo, of course I might be bias with a name...
