As if I did not learn already, I saw another recipe
online ( I spend way too much time on the internets) I saw another shea butter mix and needed to try it. I have been hearing a lot about shealoe and read on
UrbanBushBabes the benefits of shealoe and went with their recipe.
I used my trusted aloe vera gel, shea butter, coconut oil and vitamin E oil.
I melted the shea butter and added the coconut and vitamin E oil.
I added the aloe vera gel when the mix cooled down a bit, and used my emulsifier and mixed it up.
I put it in the fridge for a while just to firm up and I forgot it. I went for it and found it rock hard......I figured it had to be the fridges fault so I set it out to get soft but it never did....... soooooo, I melted it down AGAIN......and this time forgot it on the stove!! OMG I took it off JUST in time! it looked awful (sorry no pics) and I added the rest of my aloe vera gel. I mixed it again and this time I did not put it in my fridge.
I used my aloe vera gel container because I dumped all the gel into the mixture
It does not look like the mixture on UrbanBushBabes.....AT ALL. I think because I left it on the stove too long, the mixture is a bit......separated, and not really fluffy, but I will still use it cuz I used all my gel, and I am not about to throw away ANYTHING #studentbudget
I will have to see how this turns out.....until then,
Peace.
