storm35 Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 I wanted to play tonight with what i had here, so i got 3oz of unrefined shea, 3oz of mango butter and i put in 20 spoons of apricot kernel oil, coloured it pink and scented it strawberry, this comes from a body butter my daughter got, which is pink and lovely and fluffy.Thing is i tried some on my arm its a tiny tad grainy, due to the mango butter, so what could i call this and use this for, it also leaves a soft sheen to y our skin, so i reckon it will look good on a tan?What can i call this??

Crystala25 Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 I think the graininess may be from the shea not the mango. Did you melt it any before you whipped it up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
storm35 Posted March 28, 2007 Author Share Posted March 28, 2007 No Crystala, i always got told not to melt it right down if i am whipping, just make it soft.Can i get rid of this or am i stuck with it now?? Can this be used? Or have i just wasted some Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crystala25 Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 You don't have to melt it all the way down if it is really soft, but in my experience if I don't melt the shea all the way I get the graininess. I usually make the other butters soft, then melt the shea all the way down and pour over the other butters. If you are just keeping the product for yourself and the grains don't bother you, I don't think you would have to toss it, but if you are looking for a name to sell it, I would try again.
