Teach Soap

My sister is pregnant and wanting me to make her a body butter. Any good receipts out there. I already have the one on the Soap Queen blog. Anyone used that one???

I make the avocado body butter from soapqueen and my friend swore by it while she was pregnant.

I would avoid shea butter! Sensitivity to shea is quite common and more likely while pregnant.

My friends used pure coconut oil, worked great for them.

Shea butter has naturally occurring latex, which I believe is the basis for most sensitivities. It is, however, very low in protein; the usual culprit behind allergies and sensitivities.

Sure could be the shea butter, and for others can be the coconut oil. Yeppers, I do stress that a pregnant Mom surely does need to do a patch test just to make sure! What a very fun and interesting thread
