Is this product safe to use in/for body butter?

Yes, it is. But a little goes a long way. Be prepared for a warm very sweet smell rather than regular vanilla scent. Almost like a cake scent.

Hi. I don't really know if it is safe to put directly on the body. I've been using it for candles and diffusers. I's probably play it safe and use a food safe labeled brand of essential oil. Sorry I couldn't help.Barb

It's a mixture of vanilla and carrier oils. I use it in sugar scrubs that I use in the shower.

The label says it's skin safe. However, I use it for home/office fragrance, so I cannot say it's safe. To add to that---I've learned to not place large amounts of natural oils in anything I place on my body without testing a small dilution of it first on my skin, somewhere not too visible (inner forearm). That way, if I develop a rash or am allergic to it, I know it before I use it in large quantities and waste good (and sometimes expensive) product. Vegetable glycerin is good to dilute with. Hopefully, that answered your question...

You would have to contact the company to be sure, but I have used it on my wrists with no reaction :o) Yummy smell!

I can tell you that my order arrived during a very warm summer period and it was fine. In fact, I just used it to make a body butter and it worked great. I live in Kentucky and we get warm summers.I hope this helps..

Hi, I'm sorry I just saw this...I would say "no" as I have found a lot of "spreads" and "butters" are mostly oil and this stuff is the full coconut; pulp, cold processed so that you get flavorful fiber with it...HOWEVER...I have just found Artisana Oganics , Raw Coconut Butter, Whole Coconut Purée that is the same full pulp& oil content as this product. So I scout for whole, organic, cold processed. Am using it to enrich my coconut kifer

I don't know. I am using it with cocoa butter and shea moisturizer. No problem.

I keep mine at room temp, we are currently having a "heat wave", it remains solid. To store it for longer periods of time or if it gets too soft, I would refrigerate it. When used to make body butter or lip conditioners, it needs to be gently melted, so it can be used directly from the frig. Hope this helps! KK

Yes, if you like to place it on your face. I personally would not because it is a thick creamy body butter. It might clog your pores.

There are several recipes for shea butter-based lotions and body butters, but the most common ingredients to add to it are: coconut oil and/or jojoba oil, plus essential oils if you would like to add a natural scent.

I mainly use this in recipes, my favorite being in lip balm. You can also use it to make soap and in body moisturizers. If you do a web search you'll find tons of recipes.

I pour a small amount onto a cotton ball and dab gently all around the problem area. It's very potent so you don't want to over-saturate the cotton ball and have it dripping everywhere because that could burn if it ended up in the wrong places. I don't use body lotion after, but you could.

I use it for my body butters. Always sterilize first -I put mine through the dishwasher on hot setting and then when done, pour very hot water into them and then pour it out and invert on a clean paper towel until I use it. Don't forget the lids also

I use it in my home made sugar scrub, and have never had any problems. I would think using it in lotion would be fine, as well!

I did not think it smelled good enough to use for that, but I have read other people do. Your skin may have a reaction if the oil is to strong, so use caution. If I'm out of my regular Vanilla body spray, I use Vanilla Extract instead. Just a dab here and there.

This is very strong stuff. Atleast I think it is. Great for cinnamon drinks, candy etc. and I am talking using very little for the cinnamon taste and smell. I really don't think using it on the skin is very wise. It is not like any body cream or butter that I know of. I is a favoring oil, not a rubbing oil.

I have used it in baking but I always mixed it with real butter sometimes as little as a tablespoon more frequently 50/50. I use it more to make my casseroles like squash and sweet potato. I have only baked cake and cobbler with it. The package insert has a few eclipse. Vicki

Yes, according to their website, it is approved for usage in bath/body products. One of the reviewers stated: "5-Star Rating - Soy candles and CP soapBy: Linds on 05/02/2012CP Soap: Discolors to a dark chocolate. No acceleration and no morphing. Behaves well in CP soap!<br /> Soy Wax: Awesome cold and hot throw.<br /> Smell: Like fake "vanilla frosting" lip balm. Love it!" Hope this helps!
