Guest guest Posted July 12, 2004 Report Share Posted July 12, 2004 , all these would work I would think, but they would just have a different feel. Also, we are glad to have you with us! Shaye Whipped Shea Bill used Avocado Oil.. and also suggested Sweet Almond... What other oils would be GOOD in Whipped Shea Butter? All I have on hand are Grape Seed, Olive, and Safflower... But I did recieve 2 gift certificates as door prizes, I can get those or other oils, if necessary. And... can I use this same technique with the Cocoa Butter that I received in the Yankee Swap? > * Speaking of which....Bills Whipped shea/.......

The whipped shea was 1lb shea and 1oz avocado oil with a bit of fragrance 1/2oz to 1oz max. Sweet almond can also be used if you don't have avocado. > > The coconut oil was for the the after tan butter which would be 1lb coconut oil and 1/2oz to 1oz fragrance. 76 degee will work but 92 holds up better in the summer. > Bill > > > bill@s... > www.soapmaking-soapsupplies.com > www.handcraftedinamerica.org Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 12, 2004 Report Share Posted July 12, 2004 Thanks, Shaye! Have a different " feel " ???? LOL... I have SO much to learn! That Whipped Shea that Bill made with the Avocado Oil was awesome... My elbows are still smooth! LOL ! I think I should use some of the door-prize gift certificates for Avocado oil. And be patient, waiting until it gets here, to whip the shea butter! ..... just as I am waiting for the silicone mold to cure... And it IS... every day it gets a bit firmer.... gotta learn patience! hehehe T > > * Speaking of which....Bills Whipped shea/.......

Don't forget the vitamin E! I've used cocoa butter in the past as part of the butter mixture, but it doesn't whip up as nicely as shea does, esp. if you don't melt it first. I don't think I'd use it exclusively. Beth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 13, 2004 Report Share Posted July 13, 2004 * How do you get it in the jars without making a mess? I tried the baggie method and its better * than spooning. Maybe I need a bigger hole cut in it though. * Shaye I forgot that part. I use a baby spoon to get it in the jars. A butter knife also works pretty good.

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2004 Report Share Posted August 25, 2004 Hi Jeanine! My vote would be YES! :-) I was thinking about trying this myself. Mink oil is supposed to be wonderful in any kind of skin applications. It's not an overly greasy oil either. HTH! :-) Whipped shea > Would mink oil be Ok to use in whipped shea?
