at the salon I work in we make all natural bath and body products for retail. The Shea butter we have ordered is a bit too thick and i am wondering about oils that we could thin it and make it "creamier" with compromising the integity of the Shea...any suggestions. or what NOT to use. My first thought was almond oil but i thought ya'll might have other ideas

For my body butter I whip the shea butter until it's the consistency of whip cream. It's a real process and takes forever, but I LOVE the texture of it and have had nothing but compliments from my clients.One thing about shea butter...if melted at too high of a temperature it becomes grainy and unpleasant-Learned that making lip balm!
I'm with Lindsay about adding coconut oil or have you considered Pure Olive oil?
