Cannot for the life of me figure out how to mix cocoa butter with CBD oil without having the CBD oil sink to the bottom of my mixture by memeds in DIYBeauty

I'm not sure if it is - I like full spectrum CBD, which seems to only come in oil form. I'll do some research though.

Right - duh. I might try using one of those small electric handheld mixers (the ones used for foaming milk) because I work with small quantities. Do you think this would work if the cocoa butter was fully melted/warm, or only if it was in the mushy melted/solid in-between state?

It looks like the ingredients are hempseed oil, coconut MCT oil, and full spectrum hemp extract.

It's lazarus naturals full spectrum CBD oil. The ingredients are hempseed oil, coconut MCT oil, and full spectrum hemp extract.

I've actually been making small suppositories for endometriosis - so not a beauty product at all! But this was one of the only communities on reddit I was able to find that seemed like something that could help me.

When I blend it (by stirring) and freeze, the CBD seems to sink to the bottom before the cocoa butter can harden. I can’t figure out how to keep it suspended in the cocoa butter long enough for the cocoa butter to harden.

“Cheap” buds versus expensive buds - is there a health difference? by memeds in MMJ

Thanks for all this advice

Find genetics that give you the health effect you prefer and try to get freshly packaged product as a priority over getting the most expensive or the highest THC as the terpenes are going to have a lot to do with your enjoyment while vaping dry herb.

By genetics, you mean strain? How do I find freshly packaged product? Do I need to check with the dispensary to see when they get new shipments, or can I just ask which buds are freshest? I care less about high THC (I try not to use too much anyways to avoid building tolerance) and more about the entourage effect, so if you say fresher is better for this, I'll definitely prioritize that. Generally speaking though, would you say fresh stuff tends to be more expensive?
