Would this be good to make body butter from shea butter, cocoa butter, coconut oil and essential oils?

I just tossed mine after it burned up from making CP soap in less than a year and about 15 batches. It was a pain to clean and the plastic bottom broke when it fell over.

You will have to whip much longer with the stick blender, than with a stand mixer or hand mixer. It's not impossible but would not be my first choice.

Yes, this is coconut butter and excellent quality. They also do coconut oil just read the jar and description! :)

Yes, I do all the time. I blend the coconut oil with essential oils for specific applications such as my 'stress relief', 'pain relief' and 'relaxation'. Works great.

Well, that depends on what you intend to do with it. Shea butter can be used for MANY things. I personally use it to make all natural lotions and "body butter". Mixed with other all natural oils and fragrances this works quite nicely. Shea butter can also be used as a hair conditioner. If you plan to just use it in its original state you simply put a small amount of the butter in the palm of your hand and work it with the first and middle fingers of your other hand (this will soften the product). Then you simply work it into your skin as needed for moisturizing. Hope this helps.

I used it in some lotion bars I made..however it was too strong...I recommend using the scented body oils for potions and soaps...

I believe it would work, but I haven't tried it for that. I did make homemade coconut milk Ranch dressing with it and it worked like a charm!

I use a hand blender, first I heat the shea butter with coconut oil until both melt. Then I cool it for a while. Then I add any other oil I might desire (I use Argan Oil) and use the blender to whip it into a light and fluffy texture. I scoop it into a jar and enjoy my own healthy, natural, and quick absorbing whipped body butter. I have friends who added essential oils like lavender, but I do not.

No this a raw product derived from Blend of Cocoa pod and Palm OilThis Soap comes in a one block of one poundIt is often sold in conjunction with Shea separately. If you are concerned because it can be rather strong if your skin is sensitive. Therefore, I would combine with Shea butter or and pure glycerine to make your skin less irritated.

I made a serum out if this coconut oil and avocado oil to make lashes and hair grow. Works great.

oh I have no idea - I'm a hand cream maker. Since the oil is rather on the warm side I'd say that would work well. I just found that putting it in hand cream burned.

I am not sure since i don't use for hair, I make a body butter with it. But i have seen blogs and videos where people take some mango butter and whip it into fluff and then add it to their hair

You prepare this Shea butter, by whipping it with hand blender and add what ever essential oils you want .or you melt the Shea butter down slowly over low heat add coconut oil ,olive oil and your favorite essential oils I love this Shea butter. Hey check out the you tube videos on whipped Shea butter with essential oil there's some great ones out there.

I'm sure they would blend nicely in lotion and possibly soap. I blend a few drops of essential oils with coconut oil and it works well. I know from experience, it takes a ton of oil for candle making and is not worth the time or effort.

I personally would not use it for that. For cooking I use only the coconut oil that comes in a glass jar.

I use it to make sugar scrubs for my skin. So yes, you can :) It's a little heavier oil so you may not want to slather yourself with it though.

I made a diaper rash cream with it and only added coconut oil and beeswax. You want the oil and butter to incorporate well so it needs to melt. I don't have a double boiler so a glass bowl over pot of boiling water works just fine. Let it get really melted and then whip it til iit turns a whitish color. This shea butter is excellent and you won't be disappointed with your hand cream!

I use it for my hair; I melt a 1:1 ratio of this shea butter with extra virgin coconut oil in the microwave, mix it up well, let it cool, pour it into a small tupperware container, and let it set up at room temp. I use maybe a half pea-size bit in the morning to smooth and defrizz my hair. You probably can use it for a lotion just by itself, after you pry a chunk out and warm in it your hands a little...It's not a liquid, though, like if you squeezed lotion out of a bottle; it's solid enough that you'd have to warm it a bit just to be able to use it like a lotion that way. I've also only ever used it mixed with something else, so I don't know how well it would work on its own.
