CBeardly Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 I did a search but was unsuccessful. I make sugar scrubs with foaming bath whip, but I've been seeing something called body frosting or cream & am interested in making it. Is it basically just sugar scrub without the sugar/scrub? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonstar Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 I think some people call body butters or thick lotions body frosting . I could be wrong though . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrazeKelly Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 When I think of body frosting, I think of something playful, edible that is sweet and can be licked off. I have made lickable massage bars but not frosting. Probably not what you had in mind but my mind wonders like that. Lol! ?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, that's what they've been called, at least the ones I've seen. You'd definitely have to put a "do not eat" warning on that! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sponiebr Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 So, I saw this title and, yep my mind went straight to the Reddi Whip. But then I paused and then THIS happened in my brain: "Wait... Oh, PLEASE NO!!!! Are they talking about body hair highlights!?" (I know... It's like staring at the sun...) o.O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen seen that as well. I think that's one reason it's confusing me. One is for moisturizing & the other is for cleansing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chefmom Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 I think it might just be the "butter" that people make that is mostly thick butters with some liquid oils, but whipped up to a light consistency. I know when I've seen photos it really does look like whipped buttercream. I've never had much interest, if I'm having a super dry skin moment I just schmear cocoa butter on the areas, nothing fancy. ....however...as of yesterday afternoon when my essential oils order arrived, and my first ever order of kokum butter...I'm rethinking body butter and considering making a small amount for myself. I just opened the container and put a tiny bit on the back of my hand and after a day of organizing, cleaning and lots of hand washing, and about 20 hours have passed and my hand is STILL SILKY!! Yea...my new found love...Kokum. Butter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw that WSP carries it but Im not sure of the quality. Although I have purchased my mango and cocoa butter from there and Ive been happy.

CBeardly Posted August 23, 2016 Author Share Posted August 23, 2016 A Google search found this example of what I'm referring to Whipped body frosting soap Although, I guess with the ingredients listed, it basically answers my question.

I recently made my first order to New Directions for essential oils (I'm finally to the point of buying larger amounts) and I didn't realize that I had to order a minimum of $100. So...I shopped around and found other things I did need and I had kokum butter on my list to try, so I picked up a container. I made my minimum and I'm pleased with the quality of everything in my order 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonstar Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Thanks so much Im gonna give Kokum a try. The only thing that has stopped me from buying Kokum in the past, has been reviews of it being very grainy ? Ive ordered from New Directions before + have been really happy too. I love their coffee and lemon butters + their clays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
se2653 Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 I make this Body Frosting, and it is a heavier body cream (not edible!:) ), I put in other goodies so it blends in easily and is not greasy at all, love, love this recipe, and I get many compliments on it (I give as gifts to friends and relatives). I use it year round too. You can use any butter or oil, I have been wanting to try kokum butter (usually use shea and cocoa butters, and SAO). It is a wonderful cream!!

Candybee Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 I think of it as a thick lotion or cream that its whipped so its light and fluffy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Flapp Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 www.essentialsbycatalina.com has an excellent body frosting, which is whipped like cream & is NOT EDIBLE. Sample jar available for reasonable price scented/unscented. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
