Guest guest Posted September 25, 2005 Report Share Posted September 25, 2005 Hi, I don't believe freezing will harm the butters but why do you want to freeze them ?. Just put them in the fridge, and yes, you can use them straight on your skin. The Shea butter is wonderful for that. hugs and blessings, . butter question > I'm really new at this, so I'm going to ask some stupid questions. > > Is it necessary or will it harm the following butters to freeze it: > shea butter > mango butter > coconut butter > ? > > Can I use them straight on the skin or do I need to add preservatives to them? > > Thanks! > Dottie, LMT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 Dottie, Can I use them straight on the skin or do I need to add preservatives to them? Dottie, LMT~ Slather yourself up babe…. all these are lovely when they are quality butters and oils. As for freezing, I am no expert. I keep organic coconut unrefined oil in fridge. (Love that with lavender and rosemary for my legs and feet or what ever when it is cold) and some I use for cooking which I leave that out at room temp and use it up. (Makes excellent tater fries) Actually if you can get past the texture of coconut oil (unrefined, virgin, organic) and take a couple tablespoons a day with food, for about a month you will not be hungry, or craving sweets and bad stuff and will loose about ten pounds to boot! Shea I just keep in a dark cool location and mango I only have a bit of and it is soon to be used up as the price vs. the qualities of it are not worth the extra cost to me (other than to say it on the label). If you will store a bag of corn or what ever in the freezer and put it in your body then why not any other thing that you might put on your body/skin in there too?) One would think that you might do the same with oils…but why stash that much for that long? The shelf life is good with butters and some oils so, buy what you will use in one year rather than five years and keep replacing it as you use it and not worry about storing or hording it just to save a buck now. Fresh is best. I could go on about many other things but I will close here. Hope this helps. Mellie Is it necessary or will it harm the following butters to freeze it: shea butter mango butter coconut butter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 I have been on the program for 3.5 months and have been using Archer Farms (Target brand) organic unsalted butter but on the ingredients it says from grade A pasteurized sweet cream and lactic acid . Is this a bad choice for butter? I just read the question about taking a bath and using sweet cream to rub on the skin but not to consume. Thank you, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 Bee, what about the lactic acid in that butter wrote about? Is that okay to consume? Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi , Yes, lactic acid is okay, also known as milk acid, and your own body produces it. Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 Thank you Bee! I felt a little silly asking because on the nutritonal fact section of the box there isn't any sugar listed. My assumption was all butter is made from sweet cream because it obviously comes from milk. > > > > Sorry for the confusion, I think I tried to squeeze two qustions into one. My first question was would taking a milk bath interfer with this program and secondly is butter derived from sweet cream ok to consume. So to make sure everyone is clear, Milk baths are ok if your not consuming the milk and Butter derived from sweet cream for the purpose of eating is ok to consume. Am I understanding you correctly bee? > > +++Hi Casey, > > I answered both of your questions: > > Sweet cream is okay if you don't consume it. Of course butter made from " sweet cream " isn't sweet cream any longer since it has been changed into butter, so it is okay. > > Sweet cream as itself is okay only in your bath. > > Bee > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
