It is because it is winter there now, isn't it? VCO hardens as soon as temperature is below 75F. This is why i asked that you put the vco into the hot melted beeswax, so it would melt. Use very little beeswax. I think for 16 oz of vco, i use only 2 tablespoons of teardrop beeswax, but i am not so sure. Anyway, if it is too hard, the inconvenience would be in the scraping of the cream. Once it gets on the skin, it melts. Our skin is above 76F, the melting point of vco. If it is too weepy, the inconvenience is when it spills, wiping surfaces and getting too much on your fingers. So best to check hardness before putting the lavander oil. BTW, put lavander oil when there is no more smoke in the beeswax-vco mix, by that time it has turned couldy too. Never heat after lavander oil has been added. It would disperse the sweet smell of lavander and you will be left with the coconut smell. Melly ========= From: "Jane MacRoss" <[email protected]>
