azure Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 Coffee butter and Pistachio butter are both very soft and almost instantly melt on contact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 I actually find most butters I have ever worked with do melt on skin contact. Some just a little quicker than others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noodle Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 and cocoa, in my experience. although more in the summer than winter.I have never experienced cocoa butter melting on contact. I would love that since it is my favorite butter! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 lol i might be really hot blooded then because i can just rub a chunk right on my skin and boom its melted! me too! but I do use the deodorized/refined cocoa butter... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CareBear Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 Tucuma butter is lovely. the meting point is 83-97 (not sure why such a wide range). I have some ultra refined from Biochemica right here - and for me, it seems firmer than coconut oil, but has that same short melt point which means it melts from solid to liquid in the blink of an eye. It's a lot like coconut oil in that respect, but richer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuminousBoutique Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 me too! but I do use the deodorized/refined cocoa butter...yes me too, that could be the difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noodle Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 My cocoa butter is unrefined and very hard. I always have to soften it. It is my favorite butter on earth. I love the smell, the feel, the results... I guess I am NOT hot blooded though, because it never melts on my skin. I just tried it with no luck.

mychellec Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 I actually find most butters I have ever worked with do melt on skin contact. Some just a little quicker than others.Second this. Shea, aloe, avocado, kokum, almond, etc - all seem to melt into skin beautifully. I adore cocoa butter (I use natural cocoa butter), and it is my favorite butter to use in lotion bars and body butters because it melts so nicely as you massage it in. Maybe soften it up a bit with some oils. It feels all greasy and decadent. Right now I am in love with a kokum, hemp butter blend, and virgin coconut oil combo. It melts instantly but isn't greasy - my skin is left so soft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asheebeans Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 I second coffee butter. Very nice! Plus I love coffee so much it is fun to slather myself in something that smells like it. hahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fell in love with an emulsified butter recipe that calls for kokum butter and shea (I use shealoe as a sub). The combo doesnt leave a greasy after feel, but im totally out of kokum. All I have is shea, cocoa, shealoe, mango, and avocado. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mychellec Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Yes, I would say avocado butter is a little greasy. I also find cocoa butter a touch more greasy than kokum, but I love it. Cocoa butter and shealoe sounds divine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
