RE: Margaret: shea Butter Ideas

[Guest guest]

Hi Janet,

 

Sorry it took me so long to get this to you.

 

For a very decadent night " cream " :

 

50% Virgin (unrefined) Shea butter

25% Virgin coconut oil

10% fractionated coconut oil

10% golden jojoba

5% Borage, black current or rosehip seed.

 

I usually melt my butter gently in a pyrex measuring cup double boiler style

till it is almost melted. I remove from heat and stir till the pieces have

melted too. I add the soft oils and stir. Put this in the freezer for like

15 minutes. Take out and use a hand blender to stir it up a bit, put back

in freezer for like 5 minutes and just keep an eye on it. When the glass is

cold and the butter/oil mix is just starting to solidify on the edge next to

the glass, keep it out and keep blending. I do not use a high speed as I am

not trying for a whipped butter really. You can let it rest and make a

candle or 2 then go back and blend it again. Keep doing that until you

have a nice thick creamy blend. Transfer to a clean jar. When I use this

type of cream, I spritz rose hydrosol on my face then put a pea sized amount

of butter blend on my middle two fingers and dab them together till it

liquifies. I then gently dab that on my face and massage in, using tiny

gentle circles. I have really dry skin and this type of blend works for me

as a day cream too.

 

If you would like to make a cream with a water phase and I'll get one of my

recipe out for you.

 

Sincerely,

Margaret
