Sorry for taking so long to get back but been super busy :shock: but no it does not get hard and I am one of the few that does not melt my shea butter, prior to the whipping. and yes I leave it in the bowl but I have a cover for my bowl :D I have not tried glycyren yet but I i have it on...

How long did you whip your shea butter for? I have whipped mine for as long as ten minutes and if i felt it what off I would walk away and come baack to it the next day, mine come out more lke a souffle that a butter. good luck.

I have been experimenting with different (additives) to my bath salts, pls no one take that term wrong. By additives I mean oils, butters, lavender buds, etc I could go on, and depending on their state I might use my hand mixer to distribute everything evenly. Then I put it into my my jars and...

I use cornstach in my body butters and i noticed at times it gets grainy, I was wondering if it was because the cornstarch had not dissolved properly. Has anyone else come across this issue? Any thoughts or ideas? This is test batch 112, and number 33 to go grainy, yes i know weird to keep...

Not sure where to post but as I find myself getting more and more immersed into the business of making my sugar scrubs (im an addict) and the whipped body butter. They have taken over my kitchen and pantry. Thank god for delivery, as 95% of my kitchen counter space is occupied with bottles. Does...
