SOAPFREAK Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Whipped Body FrostingThis literally feels and looks like frosting.This contains Kokum butter gives it that non-greasy feeling. Replacing it with something else will probably effect the outcome.I made a tweaked version of another tweaked version from a sweet person. It is so nice and not too greasy if you don't rub it too long.I made this in the Kitchenaid mixer with the whipping attachment on medium speed, otherwise it would splash everywhere. Cover with dishtowel. It will splash.Follow regular lotion making practices.8 oz. Virgin Coconut Oil4.5 oz. Kokum Butter2 oz. Unrefined Shea butter5 oz. E-wax32 oz. Distilled Water.5 oz. of Preservative or recommended from manufacturer..7-1 oz. of Fragrance depending on strengthI made mine with Hazelnut Coffee fo (YUM)Pour hot oils/e-wax mixture into Kitchenaid pot and turn on mixer. Pour hot water slowly into oils. Whip constantly on medium speed until cool. Add preservative and fragrance and whip until incorporated. Scrap sides and whip some more. Spoon into jars. I filled a little over 4-8 oz. jars and 6-4 oz. jars. It does make alot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jami Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Looks wonderful.

SOAPFREAK Posted December 18, 2007 Author Share Posted December 18, 2007 I found out last night this would make wonderful lip frosting too with flavoring instead of fo. I was watching tv and my lips were chapped so I told my daughter "Hey I could put this on my lips!" I smeared some on and my lips are so soft this morning!

pgray1229 Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 Where do you get your products from? And do you get them from the same place??What kind of preservative do you use? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOAPFREAK Posted December 19, 2007 Author Share Posted December 19, 2007 You can kokum at www.oilsbynature.com and the preservative is a natural one called Cosmocil CQ. I get that at Snowdrift Farms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBE Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 I tried this recipe yesterday evening, was looking for something different to give as gifts for the family. Came out great! I did tweak it to my own taste, using Cherry Kernel Oil instead of Coconut Oil, and I used Mango Oil (I prefer it to Mango Butter because it's not as hard as mango butter, Mango Oil is a really soft, soft butter) instead of Kokum Butter, and added a few more additional goodies to it. Da Bomb I tell ya. Not greasy at all and moisturizes like crazy. I did one batch in Gingerbread Man, and another batch in Midnight Pomegranate. The in-laws are going to go nuts. LOL Thanks for posting the recipe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL Thanks for posting the recipe.I had to giggle. You are very welcome! It is amazing how moisturizing it is. I put some on my legs at night and my skin is still soft the next night. Even with our drying wood stove going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBE Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 I have to ask... did yours set up pretty thick? Cause mine is more like a body butter than a frosting now. LOL But I love the texture. I love thick butters and creams. The only thing I didn't like was the MESS it made. LOL When you say it splashes... it does. lmao I tried it on my lips and yuck. Midnight Pomegranate does not taste good. LOL Need to try a small batch with flavoring and see how it does (tastes...lol). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOAPFREAK Posted December 19, 2007 Author Share Posted December 19, 2007 Yeah it does set up pretty quick. I think when your whipping it cools it down quicker. I let mine do it's thing while I was doing other stuff and before I knew it I lifted up the towel and it was already fluffy. Mine is still like frosting. Nice and soft still in the jar. It reminds me of whipped cream cheese frosting. I figured if you added flavoring and wanted to put into lip pots, a cake decorating bag with a little end would be perfect for piping into the pots.

bells4shells Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Sorry, but what is E-wax and where can I find it? Would it make a big difference if I use fractionated instead of virgin coconut oil? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bells4shells Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Okay e-wax was emulsifying wax. Anyone have an answer to my other question? I do not have any of these supplies, but am looking to do so. I can't wait to make my own frosting! This just sounds like what I'm looking for.

SOAPFREAK Posted January 28, 2008 Author Share Posted January 28, 2008 E-wax is an emulsifying wax and you can find that at Snowdrift farms, Lotioncrafter, the Herbarie, or Synergy.You can't use fractionated coconut because it is a liquid, it wouldn't set up as well.

bells4shells Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Ahhh, thank you! I will try out what is on this recipe before I try sub'ing new ones huh? Baby steps is what I have to keep telling myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SOAPFREAK Posted January 29, 2008 Author Share Posted January 29, 2008 Actually make sure you use virgin coconut oil from a health food store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
