"I accidentally bought this sample set to add to My body butter. Whoops! How can I incorporate this as water And oil do not mix? I do have poly 80 on hand. What would be the ratio to use the poly 80 with Water based extract?" Click Here To View 1 answer(s) Posted By: Cyndi   |   July 14, 2019 Email Me When This Question Gets Answered

Staff Answer If adding a small amount of the extract to your butters, it should blend in fine. If adding a large amount of the extract, you will need the poly 80. Start with the same amount of poly 80 to the extract. If it is still separating, add a small amount at a time until the ingredients no longer separate.   Posted By: WSP Staff   |   Date: July 15, 2019 Was this answer helpful? Yes | No

Staff Answer Yes, but make sure not to add too much. Adding too much may decrease the lather, make the bar soft or cause the soap to sweat. The usage rate for this product is 0.5% to 5%.
