Shealoe "Butter" Pure White Shea Butter & Aloe
Shealoe is a proprietary process marries two of the most awesome
ingredients known to the trade. It's 55% Shea Butter and 45% Aloe. It does
have some moisture to it, unlike a pure butter. It handles almost the
same, it's softer, of course, and it's creamier. You could use it as is or
try the recipe I just concocted. It's at the bottom of this page.
You can also add it to your own lotion and cream products as well as lip balms,
bath bombs, your own body butter recipe, etc. Can also be
used in soapmaking - melt slightly and add at trace for cold process. For
melt & pour, try adding when soap is just melted. It should melt right in.
It has a pretty low melt point. Be careful, if you heat it too high, it will not
stay emulsified..
