I just received my mango butter but would like to know where I can find instructions for making body creams and butters? Thanks

I did a Google search, and came up with dozens of recipes from YouTube, Pinterest, and various blogs across the web. An easy one is to melt together equal parts of mango (or shea or cocoa) butter, beeswax, and coconut oil (or olive or sweet almond oils). When all butters, oils, and waxes are melted together, remove from heat, and pour into your molds. Here's a recipe link too, her recipe is very similar to the one I use. http://wellnessmama.com/4770/lotion-bars/

YouTube, Google, and trader Joe's would be your best bets.... I made some body and hair butters with the mango butter I purchased. Using all essential oils bought from earthfare. Just be careful not to heat the butter too much, nor in the microwave.

I simply did a Google search for some recipes and also watched some You Tube videos for ideas as well. I noted several and then tweaked my own recipes to my liking.

If you go to Pinterest you can find a truckload of recipes! Look for DIY Cosmetics. To get you started: Wellnessmama, thepaleomama, DIYNatural [all .com]. Have fun! Oh, and if you get yourself a small crockpot with 2 settings [about $9-$13] you are all set. No need to deal with bowls and hot water. Easy clean-up as well since it has a porcelain-pot.

It is like all butters so it needs to be very gently heated until clear in order to add it into anything as an oil. I use it in body cream, lotion, and butters and it works like magic.

Hi Marrissa, glad I can help, AIA smells really nice and sweet no buttery smell. I even stretched my butter cream by adding some melted coconut oil. It just made it creamy and better and yes you can use it as a leave in but use it sparingly.

It's pretty easy. I usually use indirect heat: hot water in a container put foil at the top and place the mango butter on top. It doesn't even need to be boiling hot water. Hope this helps. Also, as most butters are sealants, oils in addition to the butter is best for the hair. The butter alone will make the hair a little lack luster. It is an amazing sealant though.

Hello, you can use this wonderful butter as is but it is very thick. I use it to create body butter and hair lotion. It was work wonders on my son's eczema. I mix it with coconut oil and other essential oils. I LOVE THIS BUTTER.

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.

so those are the ingredients for the aloe whipped butter gel. Amazon needs to fix that. Go to the camille rose website to get the correct ingredient list.

That is usually the way you use these creams. Christine Northrup's book recommends it I believe. The book has been out awhile so you could check your local library.

I ordered mine over a year ago, I ordered a large amount to make body butter, it has an expire date of 2016 on it. I keep it in a cool dark closet and check it often, it is just as the day I ordered it. I will be ordering more when needed.

No problem at all! I should be able to either post a picture or list the ingredients by the end of the evening. I just stumbled upon I site while on Pinterest that may have some suggestions to help find products that will not set your allegies off. Google , Real Food RN. She has a whole site dedicated to using natural ingredients to make all sorts of everyday products.

It's a great product. It has a consistency similar to hand lotion. As I Am has a thicker product that is a cowash pudding and its consistency is similar to body butter.

Try Pinterest loads of recipes there. I actually used mine for a homemade 'spot stick' using coconut and tea tree oils.

Both are good. The lotion is easier to put on in a hurry, but the body butter is so luxurious. It's perfect for when you want to lather on something thick and healing after a shave or exfoliating to keep things smooth.

I had no issue with my mango butter going bad after several months. As long as you don't place it in direct heat for a long period of time, the product should be fine.
