Re: OT - Butter in bath salts

[Guest guest]

If your butter is raw from grass fed cows, I'll buy some of it if I

can afford it.

Email me off board if interested at googamooga99@...

Why

don’t you sell the butter as something else, like fish bait or door-hinge

grease? Who says it’s only good

for eating, anyway ; )

Best Wishes,

OT - Butter in

bath salts

Am thinking of making bath salts to sell along with our soap. Was

thinking that butter in the salts would make it a moisturizing

experience. Wonder if it mold or if enough salt would keep it from

molding. What do you think?

Do you think this is a product that will sell? Can't sell the butter

and we really do get more than we ever need so I thought this way I

could do something with it.

Thanks,

Belinda

I've been through enough trouble with the Department of Agriculture

just advertising workshops to teach folks how to make cheese, butter

and yogurt (as well as other workshops). Fact is, 3 years ago I was

told that I'd be in trouble for giving away dairy products. I'm just

looking for a way to market our extra butter so that I don't have to

put up with their visits again.

Have managed to build our goat milk soap business to where I use a

good bit of our goat milk for that. Got a source for 2-3 day old pigs

and male goats to slurp up the rest. The chickens and hogs will take

care of the skim milk. That leaves the butter problem when it becomes

a problem. She's not due for a while yet, probably not till April or

May but there's still some butter left in the freezer...

Good idea! But the bath salts go along with the other bath products.

Tennessee. Thought that when I moved here I'd find folks who are

independent and somewhat anti-gov't regulation that wasn't the case.

Shipping dairy products from one state to another is illegal. Selling

anything other than inspected dairy products is illegal in the state

of TN which is where I am located. If I did sell butter or any other

dairy products I would be an idiot to advertise on a group like this.

My heifer will probably have a calf in March or April. I am not

looking to sell butter. I was looking for comments on making bath

salts that included butter. That is the way I would sell the butter

that I am not allowed to sell as butter. The bath salts would contain

fragrances as well as salts and butter.

I am not certified organic and while we do not use chemicals as a

matter of course I will not allow an animal to die if there is a

reasonable cure.

So, are their any thoughts about the idea to put butter into bath

salts. I'm thinking the salt would preserve it well enough to not mold.

Belinda,I've never tried anything like that, but I'll be it will work. I would try it in a very small batch, then subject it to a few changes in temperature, etc. to see if it gets moldy. I'd just wonder if you can get it to harden up sufficiently because of the butter. You might want to make very small bars at first because they'll be used up more quickly.

Was thinking more of a tub or jar than a bar. Perhaps if I put a " dab "

of butter into it so the salt pretty much soaks up the butter. Will

have winter months to work on it and promise to report back. <G>

Bath salts normally dissolve in water, figure the butter will do the

same. Hadn't thought about drain problems but don't really think

there'd be any.

selling is illegal, but bartering is not - last I checked...

the other thought I had, Belinda - I do a sugar scrub with coconut oil - and it doesn't go rancid, but I also know that coconut oil is more stable than dairy products... so - if you tell them to store it in the fridge - it should be okay....

there is a gourmet beauty shop that sells everything in the open top cases - similar to a salad bar - with ice around everything... so it isn't a new concept... not sure if that will work....

- who is still looking for a source for clean raw milk in Treasure Valley, IDAHO - willing to BARTER -since I wouldn't dream of doing anything illegal for it!

Belinda,I've never tried anything like that, but I'll be it will work. I would try it in a very small batch, then subject it to a few changes in temperature, etc. to see if it gets moldy. I'd just wonder if you can get it to harden up sufficiently because of the butter. You might want to make very small bars at first because they'll be used up more quickly. --

Butter is fat and will melt but not dissolve in water.

What about a salt or sugar scrub? Those are popular now a days.

Belinda,

Besides the bath salts you could make lotions and body creams using

cream or butter. Try google for recipes.

Hehe Yep, get yer butter salts, step right up and get the treat of a

lifetime. That is if you don't slip on the butter on your way out of

the tub!

Am going to work on this. I see lots of baths in the next few months. <G>

I make an emu lotion with beeswax. The problem with liquid lotions is

the preservatives. You either have to keep them cold or stick a bunch

of chemicals in there. The recipes say vit E will keep things nice but

that's not true. I wonder how butter would act with beeswax for a

lotion bar. The beeswax is a great preservative. Really was going to

look for a veggie lotion bar for the folks who drop the bars when they

hear how we get the oil from the emu. Actually had one ask if it came

from the feathers, another thought there was a " pouch " under the neck

that you could just take some out with a needle. I will try google.

Thanks,

Belinda

In Dairy Goat Journal there was an article about a women who made

lotions, bars and creams with goat cream. The article was very positive.

I personally feel that animal fats are better for skin than vegetable

ones. For me, at least, they seem to moisturize better.

Oh and it's not like its a new idea either. In Natural Milk Soaps the

author mentions that butter was used for hair care by the romans,

Egyptions used milk baths etc...Even Wilbur in Charlotte Web was given a

milk bath to " make him Shine " for the fair.

I don't have a problem with animal fats in or on me. <G> This is all

about making aliving. If I can come up with a lotion for the people

who don't like animals products then I might get their money as well.

I bet it would work fine if you made the butter into ghee. I also bet it would go rancid no matter what if you just used the butter as it is. The cream works great in all lotion/soap recipes though

You could add butter to bath salts but I don't think you would care for the results. When you make a bath salt you want an oil that is light and feels water saluable. Butter is not, most of the time baths salts contain an almond oil or a jojoba oil. I would recommend making some up and trying it. Do one small batch with almond oil and one with butter and see which you like best. I do use butter in my soap. This is the advantage of using cows milk to goats milk in soap. You have to use all of the goats milk because you can't get to the cream in goats milk without a separator. You don't need a preservative in anything that does not contain water, i.e. an ointment or a salt. Keeping an unpreserved cream in the fridge will help but in truth it will only be good for about a week. Not all preservatives are bad and can be used in lesser amounts if you adjust for ph and make conditions unsuitable for bacteria and molds to grow.

So, are their any thoughts about the idea to put butter into bathsalts. I'm thinking the salt would preserve it well enough to not mold.Belinda>

Ghee should work as good as any other oil. I have had my homemade

Ghee keep for over two years and still be fine. That's as long as

it's ever lasted before it got eaten LOL.

Hi Belinda,

I also thought that ghee or Indian style clarified butter is the best way to

go as it keeps so well at room temperature, but probably it is best as a

lotion and not for the bath. Indian doctors practicing Ayurveda recommend

various oils for morning self-massage and ghee is considered one of the best

ones for your skin, for relieving creaky joints, for helping detoxification

through skin, and for delivering herbal decoctions deep into the tissues.

Herbs infused into ghee and applied to skin are considered to be absorbed

better than when taken internally. Ghee recipes are probably easily

available on the internet and some common skin care herbs like calendula

flowers or plantain leaves would probably go well in a lotion. I know a guy

who practices Ayurveda so I could ask him which herbs they think are the

best for general use.

Good luck,
