Basic information on Body Butters

[mrstkeller]

So please forgive me if this is obvious, but I've been trying to hunt down this information for a few days and can't seem to find it. I found a great post on the different oils and their benefits, but what I'm wondering is there a similar post on body butters? Like their hardness rating, greasiness, how quickly they are absorbed and benefits?

I'm basically looking for a resource I can access in helping me sub butters in simple recipes. I know this probably would be best achieved in trial and error, but I really can't afford that luxury since I'm just doing this as a hobby at this point.

Thanks!

I don't think it'll give you everything you're looking for but perhaps you could look at BioChemica on the various butters and maybe even:

and The herbarie (which is I think, theherbarie.com )

Go to Swift's blog! She is an incredible wealth of info on all things B&B. She has a few download-able charts with the various properties of oils, butters, etc. Here's the link: http://swiftcraftymonkey.blogspot.com/

Not only go to her blog but check out what you can get by supporting her youth groups.

I have three 3 ring binders with her info in them and I think I have the best resources anywhere. Go Swift.
