carol k Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Could someone point me in the direction of a good lip balm recipe using shealoe butter. The batches I've tried end up all grainy from the shea butter. TIA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marisa Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 I love the BCN Lovers Rejoice recipe in the B&B recipe section and Just use the Shea aloe instead of just sheaNot sure if that helps since it has other butters..But I love the feel the shea aloe brings to this!http://www.craftserver.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8089&highlight=BCN+lovers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singleyellowrose Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 If you use that recipe, melt everything EXCEPT the shealoe.Add the shealoe after everything has been melted and stir.Remember, if you heat it too high it will seperate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carol k Posted May 5, 2010 Author Share Posted May 5, 2010 This last batch is alot better, but still has a few grains, otherwise I'm really loving it. I'll just have to be patient & let it cool done a bit more. Thanks for the points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singleyellowrose Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Warm the shealoe very gently.Try to mix the shealoe with your remaining ingredients when they are both close to the same temp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
