Brenda Posted June 25, 2006 Author Share Posted June 25, 2006 Can I ask why it needs to be refined shea butter?I bought unrefined yellow shea butter from a co-op and I would like to try it.Doesn't need to be refined.

ladysj Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 That looks aboslutely great. Did it keeps it's soft consistency after several hours? That's what I'm wanting is one that stays soft and whipped and light that doesn's eventually fall and solidify. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brenda Posted June 25, 2006 Author Share Posted June 25, 2006 Can't ship it in the heat - it will always melt and fall. I'm trying to think of a comparison - it's sort of the texture of a whipped margarine that's been in the fridge in that it can be scooped out easily. In the summer when its warmer it tends to stay softer. It will feel "greasier" than an emulsified butter, but I've found that I usually get that feeling when I've slathered on too much or when I don't use it immediately after showering or bathing.Does that make sense?

smellywax Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 Brenda, how does the feel of it compare to your other one that I have? How does it feel different? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brenda Posted June 25, 2006 Author Share Posted June 25, 2006 Brenda, how does the feel of it compare to your other one that I have? How does it feel different?If I'm remembering correctly you have the final version of all my experimenting. There was not a big difference, just a personal preference. Sorry I'm not clearer - I'd go check it out, but I don't have any of the mary mint left with which to compare to a recent batch. :undecided This was an old thread in which I was tryng to develop my recipe.

candlebean Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 This looks great - but one question - how much vitamin E is in 10 capsules? Maybe instead of trying to figure it out, I should just get the capsules LOL...but if anyone happens to know off the top of their head, I'm all ears (actually, all eyes) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SheilaW Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 Looks good!! I tend to leave out or greatly reduce the amount of glycerin in any leave on butter/lotion because to me it does leave a sticky kinda tacky feeling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
countrysoaper Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 that is just what my whipped shea looked like, but after letting it set overnight, it hardened slightly, but still has a whippy texture and it holds its own in the heat (accidentally left some in the car) LOL I love the way it looks!! Way to go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candlebean Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 Looks good!! I tend to leave out or greatly reduce the amount of glycerin in any leave on butter/lotion because to me it does leave a sticky kinda tacky feeling.This is by far the best mouse/body butter I've come across, but it was still a little tacky/greasy for me....I was thinking it was the jojoba or glycerine. If I leave them out or reduce them, what would I sub in their place? I am so excited that this stuff stayed soft and I don't want it to harden up if I take out too much of the jojoba oil or glycerine....any ideas?
