Guest guest Posted February 4, 2000 Report Share Posted February 4, 2000 Tab, I've had this problem too but it seemed the only common ingredient was cocoa butter. Did you have cocoa butter in both. I've wondered about this because some of my lotions would feel like they had sand in them. Not a nice feeling. betts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lynn, I think you are extremely lucky to shea butter at $9.00 a lb. Here in Australia I've only been able to find it at one place and shea butter cost me $52.50 for 1 kg (or 2.2 lbs). I also like what it does & it is my favourite bar I make. Debby in Australia LBSSoaps@... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shea butter I have used is what I would call grainy. I can say that when it is melted with other oils/butters it becomes what I think is a nicer consistency.

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2001 Report Share Posted February 1, 2001 , I buy it from Camden Grey. It comes in different sizes. From 8 oz for 4.50 to 32 oz 16.00. It's about the consistency of crisco. Depending what you use it for it can be stubborn at times! http://www.essentialoil.net/ Tomi, HONEY MILL BARE CARE Shea Butter I'm on my search for Shea Butter.

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2001 Report Share Posted February 2, 2001 It comes mostly in a solid form. One supplier that I get it from sends it as a block in a plastic tub. Another sends it chunked up in ziploc bags. Tina (:| Ladybug Soapworks (:| Handcrafted Soap & Candles " It's time for a break from the ordinary " Date: Thu, 1 Feb 2001 16:46:00 EST From: chrsdx@...

It is sold in blocks if you purchase a large quantity. Some suppliers repackage in smaller quantities, such as 1lb-5lb, in containers. The shea butter is sort of the consistency of butter. Shea butter is wonderful in creams, soap, whatever. Angie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, not quite as hard-hard like cocoabutter. Almost........ Clear as mud? Mine usually comes packed in ziplock baggies. Patti K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 2, 2001 Report Share Posted February 2, 2001 Hi, Not sure if you are looking for a source when you mentioned " in search for Shea butter " . If you are, let me know and I can give you the name of a good supplier. Take care,-jag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 4, 2001 Report Share Posted February 4, 2001 What is the shelf life of shea butter opened and unopened? Same with mango butter. Thanks, Press Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 5, 2001 Report Share Posted February 5, 2001 , I sell shea butter. It is soft with a butter-like consistency. It is used as a condiment in Africa. We package it in jars. In order to add it to a recipe you have to heat it up. If you contact me privately, I will send you a catalog of prices. rs are not yet on my web page.

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2002 Report Share Posted January 28, 2002 Hi everyone, I am new to this list and just wanted to introduce myself..I'm Vicki and I live in Upstate NY. I am totally new to making soaps,lotions,etc. so I'm sure I will be seeking a LOT of guidance from you ) I am taking a course this coming weekend which hopefully will get me off on the right foot..wish me luck !! I have a quick question..I noticed that there was a posting for purchasing Shea butter...when there are postings like that are they only for wholesale purchases or can anyone buy? If anyone can, I would be very interested in making a purchase for the Shea butter. I apologize for my ignorance, but I am not sure how this all works yet. Thank you for all the great ideas I have gotten from this site already..hopefully someday I will be able to contribute too !! Have a wonderful evening, Vicki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2002 Report Share Posted January 28, 2002 You are doing just fine. If you don't understand something the first thing you want to do is ask a question, which you did. It is open for everyone. I am not taking orders just looking for interest. There has been quite a bit of interest so it looks like I might be doing this. I will let you know when I start taking order and will give full details.

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2002 Report Share Posted March 12, 2002 I don't know what kind of Shea Butter you are using but I think the Shea butter is a good smell. Have you ever smelled the 100% Shea Butter by: s Natural Products or L'Occitane?? They smell lovely.........yum. s is very resonably priced and L'Occitane is from France and on the pricey side. Check them out though for the scent. I also have used unrefined Shea and felt the difference in the texture but not smelling bad. So.........hmmmmmmm???? Wonder what is up with yours.
