Re:help with whipped sheabutter please

August 9, 2007

Hi Deb ; ) I make up " emulsified " Body Butters which are selling a lot

better with more repeat customers, than the older straight up greasy whipped

butters. My older formulations were the typical run of the mill whipped butter

with at times some good loose oil added, maybe natrasorb and/or powdered silk,

sometimes a touch of dimethicone or IPM to cut the greasy feel down. Those

body butters were the rage for one year, and then customers here didn't want

any

thing more to do with straight up whipped concoctions. I've always preferred

the emulsified BB myself, so decided to make up a huge batch and see what

happened. The emulsified Boby butters were a hard sell the first year for a

while since customers seemed to equate all Body Butters to be heavy and greasy.

I had to hard-sell by encouraging the use of EBB samples & explain these

formulations were not heavy and would not leave the skin with a coated greasy

feel like yesteryear's Body Butters. Now its hard to stay on top of the

requests. Just my two cents. Huggs, Bekka

one last question for the night-I am fading fast

I tried making whipped sheabutter last winter-it ended up kind of heavy

and solid and even though my customers liked it. I wanted something a

bit airier.
