Thanks Melly, yes it is cool here but the VCO I have here is never really very
soft. And I only mentioned that because I felt that the resultant cream would
always here be very stiff and difficult to spread on the skin.

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.
