Debk Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Hello, I was reading about the whipped Shea butter receipe and sounds good. Mine always come out too greasy and with corn starch feel too silky. What is Dry flo and can you use natrasorb or a wax instead of the cornstarch:confused: ? I like the butter oily but not greasy, of course, I have not tried this receipe. I don't have the Dry flo and other butters. Only have shea and cocoa butter at the moment. I like butter balm if anyone knows of a good receipe that you may know for whipped butter balm. Thanks and Happy mother's Day! Deb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AkainePSP Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 Oh my gosh I just tried this recipe for the first time and I've never had a whipped butter come out so nice. I didn't have any hempseed butter so I used sweet almond instead and I used grapeseed oil for my oils. I 1/2ed the recipe but it's wonderful!Kelly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimberly Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 I'm getting ready to make this replacing the Hemp butter with Mango Butter. I was wondering if this would make a good After Sun moisturizer? ThanksLOL...I know this is a little late for input. But Shea is WONDERFUL for sunburns. My Godson is very fair skinned and he swears by this stuff as it is the only thing that gave him relief when he was in boot camp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madebymelanie Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 thank you! I've been looking for a whipped butter recipe! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyeblue Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 I think I will try this out, it sounds amazing!Forgive me if this is a dumb question, but can I use hempseed oil instead of hempseed butter, are they preety much the same *apart from consistency)?

Sister Kya Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 You can use your hemp oil for the oil combo, but not for the butter. Either find another *soft* butter or just up the shea.Getting ready to try this for the first time!! Wish me luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sister Kya Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Finally whipped up a batch of this with FCO, RBO, grapeseed and some vit. E to keep it shelf stable. I'm lovin' it! Think I might have overdone the FO a bit, Southern Soapers Vanilla Grapefruit is some powerful stuff.I used half unrefined and half refined shea because I was worried about the smell but, boy, with that FO, I think I could have used the full 12 oz. of unrefined and been just fine.I started whipping during the snowstorm we had this weekend and just filled a bowl with freshly fallen snow to cool the whipping process. Worked like a dream and now I have something to remember this winter by. Thanks so much for keeping this formulation alive. It's a keeper!

Kimberly Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 What a great thread' date=' shall be trying this tomorrow.I don't have everything needed for the recipe, but shall useshea buttersweet almond oilmmmmm pink sugar or ambrosia fo and cornstarchis it ok to put it in candle tins when finished? I haven't got as far as ordering any pots or tubs yetthanks Kimberly[/quote']If you are uysing for your own use, I would say go for it! I am a bit leary of putting anything in tin that someone may use in the shower. But I know of others that do and it works fine for them. If you are using almond oil for your oil then you may want to use a little more cornstarch. When ya get the chance order some Fractionated Coconut oil...makes it less greasy. Good luck! Wow! my recipe has made it overseas! LOL Let me know how it turns out for ya...have fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wick'n'Wax Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Hi Kimberly,I have some coconut oil coming tomorrow, although not sure if its fractionate or not (makes not to self, find out what the difference is )It's only for me and a couple of family testers so far. I'm new to soaps and b&b and have to get everything certified. It's just a whipped body cream type 'thingy' was one of the things I definately wanted to try.Yep, your expertise has made it over to the other side of the pond willl let you know how it goes.I've been told that corn starch is actually corn flour in the uk, hope thats right lol.Off to scour these recipes for more things to make.thanks xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladysj Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Just an FYI on the fractionated coconut oil. This is a liquid oil not a solid oil like the coconut oil used in soaping. HTH You're gonna love this recipe it's great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wick'n'Wax Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 thanks, ok dumb question, if solid coconut oil is melted, doesn't that make it fractionated? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladysj Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Here are a couple of links for you to read about them and the differences.

Wick'n'Wax Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 update on this recipe:I didn't have everything on the list, but just had to try it (halved all the ingredients)I used 7oz shea butter (no hempseed butter)1oz mango butter2 1/2oz sweet almond oil2 tsp cornstarch (didn't want it to be greasy so used 2 to be on safe side)1/2oz Sugar Frosting fo, (go on, ask me why on earth I used a bakery fo in a body product, dunno lol)I've left this a while, and just tried it.It soaks in well after about 10mins, no residue on skin, and skin does feel soft, even if I smell like a bakery However, when you apply it, boy is it greasy! I need to re-jig this somehow to make it less greasy, and nicer smelling So far, so good. Arms haven't fallen off and skin still intact Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjb31apb Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Had to bump this! I am ordering exotic butters on Friday and I want to try to incorporate some of them into this rec. thanks for sharing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angella Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Mango butter is not as greasy as shea butter, maybe you should add more mango and less shea butter. I don't know if you are wanting to keep your whipped shea butter ingredients to a mininmum but I would go with some light base oils like coc oil (not to much can cause dryness) and sun oil, to me they absorb better into the skin and also minimizes the greasy feelings of the butter.

Kimberly Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 You can use whatever butter you have on hand. I have changed a lot of mine to Mango as it is thicker and yes, a little less greasy. I use FCO, Almond, Olive and a few other oils according what I have on hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kandlekrazy Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Ok, don't laugh...been whipping for an hour. I don't think it was cool enough, but it certainly wasn't warm anymore when I started! It still is liquidy, is this how it should be after whipping? Now I see the need to use the stand mixer instead of the handheld (which does have a whisk attachment). Oh My!

Ring of Fire Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 I made this the other day with a variety of butters. I used all babassu for the oils and this stuff rocks. The best I have every made. First time using babassu in a butter. Awesome. Tomorrow I am going to try it with some of those exotic butters I got samples of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh My!No it should not still be liquid, It should end up like marshmallow fluff. It gets a little stiffer in a day or so, but still melts on your skin instantly. This is definitely where a stand mixer comes in handy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luci Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 I used some of the pumpkin butter I got in the co-op in a batch the other day, and the jar I'm using isn't quite as hard as when I stick with mainly shea, mango, and avocado. I don't know if that butter is the only reason, though, because I also used 5 different oils instead of just mainly sao and grapeseed.

It gets a little stiffer in a day or so, but still melts on your skin instantly. This is definitely where a stand mixer comes in handy.I should have factored in that it was almost 80 in our house. I had to put it into the fridge 3 times for 10-20 minutes each time, mixing in between just to get it stiff enough to whip. 2 1/2 hours later...lol...it whipped! Next time, I'm not going to melt completely, just soften the butters and then add the oil etc and whip. I saw a video on u-tube where the lady didn't even soften the shea, just whipped her stuff right into it and she was done quickly. Of course I found all these videos AFTER I made the batch mad at myself for not looking first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimberly Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 I dont put mine in the fridge...I use the freezer...let it get back solid to the eye...then whip. I usually repeat this process one more time to get the consistency I want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
