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.

Yes, it can be used without essential oils. The more you use the oils the faster it needs to be cleaned. It is easy to clean and Smiley Daisey will send you an email explaining how to clean it. I have been very happy with mine!!!

Just clean it with hot water & a scrubber or brush, heat it on stove to dry it & put a light coat of veggie oil on it

The best way to prepare it is to use a double boiler. Once Shea butter is softened, mix it with coconut oil. The ratio is 2 to 1. I use this mixture on my natural hair as well as my family. Good luck to you.

I did, but I used dairy yogurt as the starter. (About 1 tbsp per pint jar) I used a carton of west soy organic unsweetened plain. The only ingredients are soybeans and water. I did not scald it, just poured into jars, stirred in yogurt and set for 9 hours. It was super thick and tasted great! I would like it a little tart-er next time, so I will go to 10 or 11 hours.

Well I sometimes pour a tiny amount of coconut oil in the palm of my hand and a drop of doterra essential oil and mix then apply it topically. I also buy glass roller ball containers and put it various mixes of doterra essential oils then fill the container to the top with coconut oil. The coconut oil helps tone down the doterra essential oils so I can apply them topically to my sensitive skin and my kids skin. I look for roller ball recipes online like on Pinterest or I ask one of my up lines what they do. I'm not sure what you mean by how to keep separate but you should always keep essential oils in some kind of glass container because it can leach into plastic and the oil will linger. Once you mix the coconut oil with an essential oil I'm not aware of any way to seperate them. hope that helps!

Take off the little white cap of top, then pull outside cover (the decorated plastic) off, turn it upsidedown, carefully turn the cap off to the left.fill with distilled water and your drops of essential oils if you use, put cap back on And then I put base in place while it is inside down and the quickly and carefuel turn it right side up holding it together:)

you can use aloe gel to dilute the oil along with peppermint oil or eucalyptus oil. Good luck : )

I haven't had to oil it yet. Haven;t given it much thought. The one I carry daily or most frequently gets a work out on a lot of chores. Generlly I just wipe it off or if it I cut something I don't want to have become part of an apple I've decidde to eat at a later date, I simply wash it with soap & water. In rare cases I may put some ollive oil on my finger and wipe it down and dry off with a clean cloth, When I sharpen it I am more inclined to use olive oil, but hey! I'm Italian

Very easy. I use a dampened cloth with a bit of dish detergent. Then again with a dampened cloth of clean water. It can be wiped dry or add required amount of water and essential oils.

I would recommend a tbsp. I can't remember if there are directions on the bottle. Do more research if that helps;)

I use this recipe: 1 oz distilled water & 1 oz vodka (or tinctures, vanilla ext, flower h2o, vinegar) 10+ drops of essential oils (lavender or lavender-rose geranium is a great combo for many uses!) Mix all ingredients and essential oils of choice. Pour into glass spray bottle, from here: http://coopbewell.blogspot.com/2013/05/making-herbal-oils-creams-salves.html If link doesn't work or you can't find recipe later just google essential oil spray vodka recipe.

I guess you can use that or a small blender. I just melt it with the oil in a double boiler, then let it re-solidify in whatever screw top container I put it in.

There is something in the instructions about seasonin with oil I think but I don't remember. I cleaned with a mild detergent (I only use seventh generation so it's very green and safe). Once you use it a few times it's like a cast iron pan; it builds up seasoning. Do a google on how to properly season a paella pan. Hope I helped

Your going to have to re-season/blacken it. Fill it with oil, preferably animal fat, and put it in a 500 degree oven for about three hours or over a fire pit.

Did you use just oil or have oil & spices? I've been using mine for months with no problem. I have to pump it pretty much every time I use it. Sorry yours doesn't work. I'd send it back.
