I'd like to try that recipe but I'm wondering what I can sub for Propylene Glycol? It irritates my skin. Any suggestions?

Ive never used it in that form. I have used raw. But test something. Put a small amount in a little dish of water and see if it re-hydrates. Then you will know if you can use it. It should. Then you will have to make a thick paste. But just test with a tablespoon or so. Leave it overnight. Zolveria can tell you how to make the paste. As far as a sub for PG - Read this, maybe it will help. https://library.essentialwholesale.com/propylene-glycol-alternative-propanediol/ or she may be able to tell you since she has made it before.

Thanks, Red. LOL I just happened to read that! I'm not sure propanediol is much better than the PG for my skin. I'm thinking maybe some other humectant like IPM (Isopropyl Myristate) that I have on hand. I wish I had time to play right now, but I don't. Too much going on... :rolleyes:
 
IPM may work as well. Let me know how that goes. Im a night time soaper - Like the middle of the night! So I may try to make it now. Who knows - Im tying to perfect an in the shower lotion bar that is a little creamy. Im on test bar #4 lol
