I'm posting on the DIY thread a new recipe given to me today! It's for a cream, and can be used on the face as well as the body. I'm thinking if this could possibly be an alternative for our much-loved decleor balms? It has no nut oil, so it should work for nut-allergic people.
I haven't tried it, though. I'm waiting for my pure shea butter to arrive from Nigeria in two weeks time! Can't wait! (Rubbing my hands here in glee anticipation!) |

Hi Pumpingmummy,
I'm dying to see it ... but it doesn't seem to be part of the DIY thread yet.  I must be too early? 
We die-hard DIY-ers love to see new recipes!
I'll check it out tomorrow. I already have pure shea nut butter ...

Sorry Mary, I got held up by a rumbling tummy! As soon as this thread was up I suddenly decided I was hungry and went off to grab a bite. Naturally a bite became a whole meal and took longer than I thought...
But hey it's up, now. Let me know what you think. |

Hi Pumpingmummy,
Got the recipe ... got the ingredients ... so I'll make it in the next day or two.
But ... shea butter is a "nut" butter ... the label on my jar says "Shea Nut Butter" ... so would that bother those with nut allergies?
I'm cautious with beeswax because I have found it does bother my skin ... so I'm sticking with the shea nut butter for this one ... [I don't have nut allergies ... thankfully!]
Will let you know how it works for me!
Mary |

Yeah I was thinking about that, too. I'm going to use just shea butter also, but only because I can't grab hold of beeswax. Thankfully, too, I don't have a nut allergy.
Still...I'm wondering wat nut-allergic and beeswax allergic people can do...  |

Cocoa Butter might work ... ?

| It's also really cocoa nut butter, isn't it? Is shea nut really a nut? |

What are the properties of rose hip oil and geranium oil? I have the other ingredients I
wonder if it is OK to substitue oils. |

I know this is old but I'd sure like to take a look at the recipe. I can't seem to find the "thread" though. Anyone who can help out here ?
Thanks. |
