I just got this fairly vague note in my email box that states:

"How to use all natural fresh from African shea butter to make lotion what are the item l will need to add to the shea butter for lotion & cream for my body"

Do you have any thoughts on how to best answer this? I'm thinking something like a basic recipe for making whipped shea butter would be good (25% liquid oil, 75% solid shea).

Does anyone have a great recipe that they'd like to share?

Just got this note from an unnamed fellow soaper:

"...was so bored. I decided t o melt some shea butter, about 8 oz,
and dash of corn starch, 2 drops of fragrance oil and about 1/2 oz of
olive oil. Whipped it all together and got a beautiful body butter.
When I went to wash out the bowl, my hands started to immediately burn
and turn fire engine red. OUCH. I have no allergies and have used all
the ingredients before. My skin is so tight and red big blotches up my
wrists. I took some benadryl just for the heck of it. Any opinions on
this disaster?"

I wrote:
"There is one known health warning about shea butter: People who have
nut allergies and latex allergies may be sensitive to shea butter." --
From http://www.earthmamaangelbaby.com/newsl ... n2005.html
http://www.consumerhealthdigest.com/sheabutter.htm
http://www.tcmadvisory.com/2007/9-17/2007917102251.html

If it was straight shea butter from the nut we may have just learned why
most soap makers will only put 5% shea butter in their soap. If you have
a Latex allergy you might not have noticed at first (as it apparently
builds up 'til you get a reaction - provided you're sensitive). Maybe I
shouldn't be making my banker 30% shea butter soap? Please write me back!

I asked about fragrance because many especially EO's can be VERY harsh
and drying, even FO's like cinnamon and citrus and other spices can be
harsh."

Then told her to call her doc.
Can we discuss this shea butter/laytex thing. Have any of you
experienced people having reactions? Do any of you use more than 5% shea butter in your soaps or lotions?
