Guest guest Posted February 9, 2007 Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 As far as I know, ALL types of Vanilla will brown, unless you make the sinthetic version. Some antioxidants such as BHT can slow down the browning effect. I used it once when I made my massage body oil .Or you can use vit C, but it will be expensive. Dont use Vit E, it will also brown. Is that an aphrodisiac body lotion? Because some friends from the Philipphines told me it's the kind of fragrance that can arouse sexual desire.

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Where do people get their vanilla beans? I haven't had any luck. I bought some at whole foods and they were as hard as a rock. There was no way I could open the pod. Thanks, Irene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Hello Irene, Actually, you can put your vanilla beans in a coffee mill to grind and use them that way. Works just as well and you have less waste that way too! Hope this helps! Debra NW irene.m@... wrote: Where do people get their vanilla beans? I haven't had any luck.
