I've been thinking about trying to do a shea butter recipe, and have read that some people love lots of shea while others like it in smaller quantities. I'd been eyeing a 50% shea recipe here, but I still have some palm from an earlier experiment. Plus a friend just gave me a bucket of cocoa butter she'd purchased a couple of years ago but never did anything with (does cocoa butter go bad?).
I brought down the shea and added the cocoa butter, and I'm thinking about trying the following at a 2% superfat. The coconut I have been keeping low because I don't want something highly drying and with the shea I thought this might be a nice face bar.
Avocado Oil 10% - 50g
Cocoa Butter 27% - 135g
Coconut Oil 3% - 15g
Palm Oil 25% - 125g
Shea Butter 35% - 175g
I'd love any thoughts/feedback before I jump in.
Thank you for your time and help!
