Re: LOOKING for best SHEA bulk- body Butter or Cream BASE

July 13, 2004

I've tried about 5 different companies' bases, but this was " BEFORE " I found

this site....all of them were just....... " watery " " lifeless " and just plain

" poor " quality.......

I need the " BEST " .

I'm Looking for a dynamic Lotion/BODY BUTTER base to personalize and introduce

with my existing line....until I come up with my own (possibly).......{unless I

find a dynamite existing one}

I can see now it may take a while........

With SHEA being the main ingredient and SOY being in the mix also.....

My clientele is Hollywood....and everyone is on the track right now of seeking

very holistic/rich/as natural as possible (not a total freak about it)...lotions

and creams......money not being the issue......but more a labor of love and

sincerity about the product being truthfully " good " for your skin.

Lots of sun damage out here and have discovered on my own that shea truly DOES

HEAL as does SOY oils,lipids and derivatives. So am looking for a dynamite base

with those ingredients not being scrimped upon. I have learned thus far that

meadowfoam oil seems to be terribly " healing " as does hemp and of course

ALoe......so with those ingredients also - if possible.......

I actually am looking for a bulk bases that has all or MOST of these ingredients

in there close to the top of the list:

SHEA BUTTER

SOY)of some sort)

GLYCERIN

MEADOWFOAM OIL

CYCLOMETHICONE

DIMETHICONE

with a semi- " whipped " feel to it....

and no " greasy " feel , which I would hope be a " given " .......

Is that an impossible demand?

It may be, I truly don't know - - - - -YET.

Give me a couple months to read up on all of this formulating theory...

BY THE WAY what is everyone's SINGLE favorite BOOK I should purchase?

Regarding formulating lotions/creams and basic cosmetic chemistry knowledge

...............FOR DUMMIES (!!!!!!)

again a continuing vote of thanks for everyone's help

BLUE SKIES.........
