You don't actually need the essential oils. They just add a fragrance

As soon as you put it in the microwave, you killed it

The heat messes it up?

@@djmcnamerthe microwave works at a frequency that deregulates all types of foods and products, not recommended, that’s why they’re banned in Japan

That’s what I thought 😅 but absolutely loved the recipe and will be using it, however at low heat on the stove. Thank you for sharing 😊

Lavender and Tea Tree are hormone disruptors. Estrogen are. You may want to pick different essential oils.

Can you recommend some? How about lemongrass?

Lemon

It's too hard :-( I made another recipe last time that was perfect, but I can't find it. This recipe sets too firm in winter, and maybe it will be liquid in summer because of the large percentage of coconut oil.

Can I use wheat flour instead of corn starch

Does it expire?
