I would not recommend it for anything other than its intended use. There is petroleum jelly in it. Much more than the beeswax. (I stumbled on this product looking for beeswax for use in homemade skin care products.)

absolutely,the only limits are those within your recipes...just use the starter for your yeast ,and or fixin'[s from king arthur to give it a wonderful flavor...have fun....

Although I have not put lotion in one of ours I don't see any reason you couldn't. If you are concerned the lotion might be too thick to pass through the unit just put in a small amount and give it a "test" run. Wherever they sell these units they advertise that you can put lotion in them.

Yes you could. However you would need ALOT of them depending on the moist levels you are talking about.

They say you can but the lotion should be of the same viscosity as the soaps. Like soft soap if you're not familiar with the simplehuman soaps.

Don't think this is good idea because even mixing a small amount (1/2oz) could produce heat reaction..You should always use the correct harder with the correct resin.. They are all different..

Yes, you could. It's a good store bought product. It cannot compare to homemade MMF; however, it far superior to Wilton. And it smells good. Takes some work to make it pliable, so give yourself some time to knead.

I don't see why you couldn't use it on any kind of food. This stuff is pretty thick and comes in little jars like model paint. All you do is dip JUST THE TIP of a toothpick in the jar and mix it in whatever you are coloring. It takes an incredibly small amount to get nice colors.

I'm sure you can, I use it in my hair products. Recently, I've treated my daughters eczema on her hand with it. It's very oily so you don't need much.

Yes! I have used it to make lotion, lotion bars, and lip balm. Love it! It does have a rich chocolate scent that is impossible to cover, so don't try. Use Shea butter instead. But the chocolate scent works really well combined with peppermint or orange. Basic recipe is equal parts butter (Shea or Cocoa) and an oil (coconut, olive) with beeswax (amount determines how firm the product will be). Best way to test a recipe is to start with small amounts, place ingredients in a small jelly jar, and heat in a pan of water until everything melts. Remove from heat, let sit for a few minutes and then stir in essentials oils if using. The jar becomes your storage container, so you don't have any cleanup.

Totally... It's super fine and is great for drawing out impurities in the skin. I used it to make a facial soap bar and have had great results!

Yes you can, in fact I have made soap from it before and it makes hard bars of soap.

You should be able to. I use mine for soap, but it is food grade silicone so chocolate would be OK.

No. At least from my experience you can't use it just as a lotion and get tan, it only works with indoor tanning beds.

While I use sweet almond oil in my lotions, I use this product to make soap and wouldn't hesitate to use it in a lotion recipe containing olive oil.

Yes I have. I melted the cocoa butter and mixed with shea butter, coconut oil and other natural oils and made lotion.
