Hello group, I wanted to know if anyone here knows what I could do with the lipids that the extraction leaves after doing winterizing, I usually throw it away, but I think it could be used in cosmetics, does anyone have any idea? here I leave the photo
I’m curious if you can make soap.

First thing I would do is test it for cannabinoids.
IME there’s free kilos hanging out in there. Makes for a good rainy day activity provided you have a constant supply of it in house
After that try and sell it to people who wanna make canna-candles?

I had a friend use it to make candles and whatever products you can use fats for, the trick is filtering the lipids till it is completely dried and not wet at all o guess, maybe someone can try it and see if my friend is crazy and lied to me

If some one wants to send me some waxes/lipids I’ll throw it through the desktop fuge and try to dry it out, melt it, and add some soy wax 
seems easy enough

The most potentially useful and lucrative use for oil cakes is currently as a natural replacement for lipase, the second largest commercially produced enzyme. Oil cakes are a very good resource for growth of microbes to produce enzymes. By fermented the oil cakes with the bacteria Anoxybacillus sp. ARS-1, the lipase enzyme can be produced. It’s just not a competing technology currently and the amount of feedstock required is massive.

There is some interesting research out there regarding lipids helping with the absorption of molecules. I kinda feel like keeping them in the extract for ingestible or boosting them in ingestible could be beneficial.

You can blend them into cbd/cbg isolate and call it T free distillate

So spicy. I use 0.5ml molds & get all the way to 115mg. There very “spicy” so much so I swallow with H2O whole.

test it for cannabinoid content, you may find its like >10% THCA/CBDA. If that’s the case, save up a ton of lipids and spend a day extracting those cannabinoids from them.
I’ve heard all sorts of ideas before - making soap and candles and skin care whatever. The only folks I ever saw actually pull anything off were some folks in the ourskirts of Colorado who figured out how to make decent candles from the stuff. I know a lot of people try and fail the make candles, so there is certainly some technology to it for the flame to burn tall/bright/evenly and not self-extinguish. Frankly, once the cannabinoids are gone I would just throw them out - theres not a lot of meat left on that bone.
