Teach Soap

Hi Everyone,
When a recipe calls for shea butter, does that mean MP Shea Butter?

This sounds so silly. It's embarassing, but when I ordered Shea Butter I received MP Shea Butter.

Is this the same for Mango Butter? Is Mango Butter the same as MP Mango Butter?

Thanks all,
einnoc

It depends what the recipe is. If it's for cold process soap, it's just shea butter. Did you order the wrong thing?

Hi Soapbuddy,
The recipe called for 14 oz of Shea. I just clicked on the link to automatically select all the needed ingredients for the recipe. I didn't actually select the ingredients myself. When I received my order, I noticed on the label for the Shea Butter, it stated Melt & Pour under the word Shea.
I have never used Shea Butter or Mango Butter; so I don't know what they are. Is there just something called Shea & and something called Mango Butter? These would both be for M&P recipes.

This is the link: http://soap-queen.blogspot.com/2010/11/ ... orial.html.

Thanks Soapbuddy for all your help,

I can't open that link. It says it doesn't exist. Since it's from Anne-Marie's blog, I would email her and ask. Shea butter is normally just a butter and so is mango butter. Either one can be added to MP base; up to 1 TBS total per lb. of MP base.

Hi Soapbuddy,
I took your suggestion and emailed Ann Marie. The Shea was marked wrong; so she is shipping Shea Butter out to me immediately.
Thanks,
