7Angela7 Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 I don't do B&B so don't really know much about it. Is body butter & whipped shea comparable? Which one do you suggest to use for dry skin? My skin isn't normally dry, but my hands have been really dry out here lately. I know there are plenty of people who make this stuff on the board, but as I was trying to search I got so overwhelmed. I haven't tried anybody's handmade creams, lotions, butters, shea....anything, so I'm not sure how they are different than the big name guys. Should I assume that with handmade B&B that it's better than what the big guys are putting out? I'd much rather give my money to somebody here than giving it to them, if I found something I liked. Do you guys that make these, sell sample sizes?Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapermom Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 in my line.. they arent the same..... I know some people use the term interchangeably.my whipped shea is just shea, light oil and cornstarch.... its great for very very dry skin.. not something i would want as a daily all over moisturizer...my body butter, is shea+ other butters(cocoa mango etc...) plus water e wax etc... which is a very thick cream or lotion... thicker than a normal body lotion... but not so greasy and great all over daily moisturizer.

MichelleOH Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 My SHEA BUTTER is just straight shea and shea oil. This is very really dry skin.My WHIPPED shea has shea and mango butter along with Monoi oil. Check out my site in my profile and let me know if I can help you out!

cindym Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 Really Angela, if you want to make a great moisturizer for the winter, you could buy a lb or two of shea and whip it up yourself with and oil from the grocery, olive, sunflower and some cornstach, it will be greasy but it does sink in and is a great moisturizer.

sad72 Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 My whipped butters are also just butters (I use a combo of Shea, Kokum, and mango) with a little oil and it's great for my dry hands. I used to call them body butters but started calling them whipped because it's just not a consistency that is good for all over use....at least for me.
