Shea Butter Oil...

How do u use it?

WHat is it best to be mixed with?


Thx ladies!

I use it as a base oil for the creams I make at home. I mix it in my conditioners some times too.

Oh and it's a great bath oil too.

See..I tried it when I took a bath and it just sat on top the water and made a ring around it. I was like o nooo .So I am just looking for ways to mix it, or use it. I will have to try using it in my conditioners as well. Thx for the tips!

ooopppss, my bad, I should of said only a cap full is enough. I poured a cap in the bath water and a few drops on my wash cloth and rubbed it together with my bar soap (some type of bath and bodyworks soap) when I was finished with my scrubbing. Sorry, I didn't mention that before. It happened with me when I tried it with vitamin E oil, just a ring around my tub.

For my mixture I tried it with mango butter and avocado oil and it came out great. Then I have tried it with avocado butter and amla oil, still good.

I like to try it with butters that are so hard that I have to add oils to soften it, warm them in the microwave and mix away with my oils.

Don't know how technical you are with the mixing but a really good one was when I mixed Avocado Butter, Hibiscus Powder (that I boiled and strained through a cheese cloth), Marshmallow Root (boils and strained as well), then added the Shea Oil, this made my hair milk. I did put a few drops of rosemary oil in it too. This mixture would take me hours to do but I would have 3-4 bottles in the end and it would last me a few months.

Thx Makeupvixen!
