What Do You Mix your pure Shea Butter with?
If anything? I am in love with my shea butter. Usually at night, I apply it raw to my whole body, even to my face. My already soft skin has become even softer and smoother. However, I have noticed that on certain parts of my body, it seems like there are dry patches. I was wondering if I should consider mixing it with anything. Also, I love the shea butter hand creme from L'Occitane

Re: What Do You Mix your pure Shea Butter with?
Put oils you like, but very little because you want the main ingredient to be shea butter. If you are looking for moisturizing oils then use:
Coconut oil
Jojoba oil
castor oil
Almond oil
Olive oil
Some people add glycerin and or Aloe vera gel. Do make sure the oils are pure if you want to reap the full benefits. Those generic kind don't do anything. Oh, and do preserve your mix! Use tea tree or honey to preserve the mix to last longer with out getting a mold or fungus.

Re: What Do You Mix your pure Shea Butter with?
I use mine straight. I usually smooth some onto my feet after a shower and onto my kids' faces every morning. Just a little, though, since one told me before, "Mommy, I don't think I need to be so shiny." Have a safe weekend, everyone.

Re: What Do You Mix your pure Shea Butter with?
See? This is how I found LSA, looking for hair recipes and tips but got sucked in by the fukkery! 
Anyway, I have a big chunk and was thinking about melting it with jojoba and a few drops of rosemary or lavender oil. I want a simple mixture this time. But I've added, in all kinds of combos:
coconut oil
safflower oil
castor oil
grapeseed oil
distilled water
honey
tea tree oil
rosemary oil
aloe vera (plant and gel)
I want to try avocado butter. I heard that was moisturizing too.

With East Africa shea butter which is the softest butter I normally don't add any concoctions to it. It's the West Africa shea butter or butters from Ghana has a better concoctions mixed to it.

Re: What Do You Mix your pure Shea Butter with?
I usually add a little coconut oil. It makes a bit more moisturizing and then its perfect for super dry skin.
I never thought of honey before. Maybe I'll try that today. I just spent a few days in Las Vegas and my skin is so dry now.

I use extra virgin olive oil. Blended in the melted mixture. Just made two small plastic containers for me and my s/o.
