"works great with Shea Butter recipes"
"I had used this to make lotion bars in dial up tubes. I had used the amount that was called for in the recipe and the lotion bar was firm and pulled a little on the skin. I will be decreasing the amount by 5% to see if I can achieve a different result. I'm looking to get more of a silkier glide on the skin without having the lotion melt in the tube on warmer days. I also noticed my lotion bars seem a little tacky when applied to the skin but it does go away after a short period of time."
"I have been making lotion bars which are a combo fibromyalgia and cellulite mix of essential oils. They have worked great, but I have had some issues with getting the mixture just right so that the bars are smooth, creamy, and go on nicely. The bars were still great, but I wanted them just a touch more creamy. I tried this additive for the first time yesterday and am THRILLED with the results. It is the perfect way to round out the recipe. At last, my bars are perfect. I will be buying this regularly from now on. I simply substitute a little bit of this for beeswax in the recipe and I am good to go!"
"Best product available to prevent the grainy texture of shea butter in Lip Balms & Lotion Bars. I wouldn't attempt a recipe without it."
"This product helped make my great products even more amazing! Does what it says; makes the product smooth & creamy."
"Ordered these for lotion bars just to see if there really was a difference and WOW! I had stayed away from Shea butter for my lotion bars because of the grittiness i would sometimes get, but this does work magic for them!"
"I used this for soap frosting, it let a bit of a wax film on the blender, but the product turned out great."
"This makes using Mango and Shea Butter's a dream in my body butter balms."
"I add this to my soaps and my lip balms. Makes the end product super creamy. Product is super easy to use. A+ rating!!!"
