Staff Answer Butter blends are usually softer because they are blended with sweet almond or hydrogenated vegetable oil.

Sort of like a whipped shortening. It will melt on skin contact, but is much thicker than an oil and is more of a solid at lower temps.

It was a harder butter to get out of the container it came in but whipped very nicely. Very nice on your skin.

"Can the monoi butter blend be used on hair as a moisturizer?"

Click Here To View 2 answer(s)

Email Me When This Question Gets Answered

Staff Answer Hello Renee, Thank you for your question. This butter is a soft butter with a greasy after touch. Therefore I would not recommend this as a moisturizer for hair as it would be too heavy and greasy for that type of application. Please feel free to call customer service for further assistance. 1-800-359-0944

Maybe as a pre-poo treatment or deep conditioning treatment, but it would have to be washed out afterwards. It is too greasy on its own.

"In CP soap, what percentage would you recommend using for a proper fragrance level? Also, what would be the SAP value for NaOH?"

Staff Answer We have never tested this in CP Soap for the fragrance, so I am unsure what the best amount would be. The SAP value is NaOH .210 and KOH .230

Since, Monoi Butter is already scented you could try taking a small amount of the butter and adding a tiny drop of the fragrance that you'd like to use into it. Most CP soaps are fragranced from .5 to 1% of FO's. It really comes down to preference, but never go above the recommended amounts. HTH :)

I don't know that this would come through very strongly fragrance-wise, without the addition of an additional fragrance oil or essential oil. The caustic process of CP soap can sometimes weaken a lot of scents. I have found some monoi fragrance, which is similar to gardenia that has a strong scent.

"I really would like to know how to incorporate some Monoi Butter in a CP soap recipe - yet all the lye calculators I explored will not list Monoi BUTTER; some however will list Monoi oil - can you please help?"

I did a little research and found that the SAP value is almost the same as Avocado Butter - which is listed on most soap calculators. I am going to give it a try - a cautious one, hoping the scent will not vanish in the saponification process

You could superfat at 3% with your regular calculateable oils, and then superfat with the monoi butter blend at trace for > 3% superfat.

"Moni Butter Blend says you can use in lip products up to 100% with this haveing a fragrance wouldn't it taste floral or like a fragrance on your lips? Also says it is a heavy butter , what could you use with this so it wouldn't have an after greasy feel?"

Staff Answer This butter does have a light floral odor to it so it will smell floral if used in a lip product. The amount of fragrance contained in this butter is an amount that is safe in lip products if you were to use it at 100% in a lip product. If you do not like the floral odor I would recommend blending this butter with another butter or adding another fragrance to mask the floral odor.

"In your May issue of Handmade, you listed a recipe for Vitamin E Callus Cream (located on page 18). Can Monoi Butter be added to this recipe to give it a uniqueness? If so, at what amount would you recommend? "

Staff Answer Since this recipe does not call for any butters, adding a butter such as Monoi Butter may change the texture of the finished product. Please be aware that if you make any changes to our recipe you alone are responsible for product and recipe testing to ensure compatibility and safety.
