I just returned to using butters after not using them for almost two years. I used to be the shea butter queen, so what was I thinking to let go of my precious butters? My mix right now, which I just made yesterday, is shea butter, olive oil, and coconut oil with essential oils and some indian powders.
I mixed the Indian powders with the coconut oil to make oils first, then added these oils to the shea butter and olive oil. This is the first time I have added Indian powders to a mix, so I will have to wait in order to comment on their effect. I do not, however, believe the powders will make the batch go bad faster; in fact, I have never had an homemade butter go bad on me, even though I usually make 20 to 30 ounce batches. Maybe the reason is that I add a lot of essential oils.I used to use butters all the time and I never had dryness or ssks I'm out now I may have to buy some for winter.
Does mixing the Indian powders help? Does it go bad faster w the powders in it? Tia
I like Camden Grey butters. My favorites are olive, sunflower, and almond. Avocado for my hair, but I love it on my skin.
