Goddessof Earth: are you willing to share the detais of your recipe & your procedure?
Ohhhh
I was like... HOW'D I MISS THIS QUESTION! When I was responding to this topic, I was doing 3 or 4 other things and hadn't hit submit reply.
I melt 5gr of HQ into 30ml(a few ml less can be used to make it a little more potent) of glycerin. I have ordered DPG which will be here next week.
What I do:
1.Find a pan that won't be used for cooking to boil some water in.
2.Fill a beaker with 30ml of glycerin and place into pan of boiling water.
3.Use meat thermometer to check when the glycerin is at 170degrees.
4.Put HQ in beaker of glycerin and stir and stir.. until HQ has melted.
5.Pour into a pump bottle.
6.Let it cool.
7.Shower
8.Apply.
9.Become high yellow.
Now, about F&W. I remember 1 time I bought a tube of it and it was 'grainy' as heck. They must have not let the HQ melt all the way. That stuff was $15 a tube. This stuff costs around $1 or so(maybe less) when you factor in the cost of electricity to melt it. It's like have my own skin lightening warehouse!
