Becky Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Hi guys!I think I discovered the cocoa butter in my lotion bar is breaking me out! I added more cocoa butter than beeswax to see if I could get my lotion bar "less sticky". I understand it's high on the pore clogging chart, but geesh! This is crazy!Any good suggestions for substituting cocoa butter? Something not greasy? I must have tried more than a dozen variations already, with ingredients as beeswax, sweet almond oil, coconut oil, shea butter, jojoba, avocado...just can't seem to get it right...Any help is very much appreciated!

ChrisR Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 (edited) Cocoa butter also makes my son break out, along with shea butter. I've found mango butter doesn't affect him that way, so that goes in all my soaps & lotion bars now. Good luck!! Edited March 3, 2014 by ChrisR Left out couple words!

Becky Posted March 3, 2014 Author Share Posted March 3, 2014 Thanks! I'll try mango...that's a softer or semi-soft oil, right?Anyone recommend kokum? I understand that's a hard oil too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuzyK Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 I use kokum butter and avocado butter in my solid lotion. Love them. Kokum butter is a hard butter for sure, but I love it. Avocado is a pretty soft butter.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
