"I Love this butter!" COMMENTS:  I had to try it and I am glad I did.I used it in cold process soap thinking most of the fragrance would evaporate but none of it did! It stayed as strong as it was when I added it.No other fragrance oils are needed with this one,and it is so creamy. I will buy more when it goes on sale again. PRODUCT USED IN:   Soap - Cold Process, Bath Fizzies & Salts, Lotion Bars & Sticks THINGS I LIKE   THINGS I'D LIKE TO CHANGE • That the fragrance stays in cold process • The price.It would be nice if the price • Was lower so more people could try it

"OMG amazing" COMMENTS:  This product is awesome. I ended up purchasing the smallest amount during a sale and when I got it in the mail I was instantly disappointed I did not buy more. It smells like a tropical garden! I was wanting a butter to add to my sugar scrubs that smelled nice and this is it! Will be using in my no fragrance scrubs for those with sensitive skin. 5+ stars!

"Like Spring Time" COMMENTS:  This is my first time ever trying this butter out and I must say that I am upset I didn't go for the gusto and just order at least a 1lb jar because the sample jar was a complete tease. Even though this butter has a very distinct scent of its own, it's very open to blending WELL with other scents. I made Lemongrass, Coconut Lime and Coconut Tangerine scented bath bombs with and without this butter, and with this butter, all 3 scents were magnified and and the Monoi butter just intensified the scents. This oil is also suprisingly moisturizing and didn't leave as greasy of a feel on the skin. I am excited to order it again and try it out in my cold processed soap and body butter.

"Relaxing Scent" COMMENTS:  I was scared that I wasn't going to like this when I read some of the other comments about the scent. But I find this scent to be beautiful and relaxing. I don't find it overpowering at all. I first used it in a cold process soap and had a hard time figuring out the sap value. Luckily this was a test recipe and not for sale because the formula was definitely off. I then used it in my Luxx Lotion and I am in love!!! I bump up the scent by adding a little extra monoi oil and this lotion is so dreamy! My customers really like this one and it will be on my menu for years to come.

"Monoi Butter Smells perfect!" COMMENTS:  As soon as I received my order, I hurried to open the Monoi Butter. I have tried several varieties and this is the best one yet.

"Smells great" COMMENTS:  I love this product...and yes it's great right out of the jar. Of course, the first thing you notice is the wonderful scent which can easily take you to a tropical isle. It is so smooth and blends well. I just made my first batch of the beach butter balm (have some Caribbean cruise going customers) and I'm excited for them to use this. It turned out great for me.

"Love It!!!" COMMENTS:  I purchased a sample size portion of this butter so I could try it out, and I have to be honest...this butter blend smells MARVELOUS!!! It's incredibly fragrant and very smooth. I added some to a batch that I was whipping up and had no need to add any fragrance. The entire batch was scented perfectly. It's very floral and perfect for summer. My only regret is that I didn't use it sooner. I will definitely be buying more of this when spring rolls back around.

"Excellent Butter. Very Pleased." COMMENTS:  I used this product to make a hair butter. The butter held up pretty well against the heat and the fragrance is heavenly. It is a very smooth, pliable butter. No problems with formulations thus far and I look forward to making a conditioner with it! The only downside is the recent price hike!

"What is the consistency of this?" Click Here To View 4 answer(s) Posted By: Kimberly   |   April 17, 2014 Email Me When This Question Gets Answered

Staff Answer Butter blends are usually softer because they are blended with sweet almond or hydrogenated vegetable oil.   Posted By: WSP Staff   |   Date: April 24, 2014 Was this answer helpful? Yes | No

Sort of like a whipped shortening. It will melt on skin contact, but is much thicker than an oil and is more of a solid at lower temps.   Posted By: Heather   |   Date: June 30, 2014 Was this answer helpful? Yes | No

It was a harder butter to get out of the container it came in but whipped very nicely. Very nice on your skin.   Posted By: Steffanie   |   Date: August 20, 2014 (1) Found this helpful. Was this answer helpful? Yes | No

"Can the monoi butter blend be used on hair as a moisturizer?" Click Here To View 2 answer(s) Posted By: Renee   |   February 01, 2014 Email Me When This Question Gets Answered

Staff Answer Hello Renee, Thank you for your question. This butter is a soft butter with a greasy after touch. Therefore I would not recommend this as a moisturizer for hair as it would be too heavy and greasy for that type of application. Please feel free to call customer service for further assistance. 1-800-359-0944   Posted By: WSP Staff   |   Date: February 04, 2014 Was this answer helpful? Yes | No

Maybe as a pre-poo treatment or deep conditioning treatment, but it would have to be washed out afterwards. It is too greasy on its own.   Posted By: Heather   |   Date: June 30, 2014 Was this answer helpful? Yes | No

"In CP soap, what percentage would you recommend using for a proper fragrance level? Also, what would be the SAP value for NaOH?" Click Here To View 3 answer(s) Posted By: Dan   |   December 24, 2013 Email Me When This Question Gets Answered

Staff Answer We have never tested this in CP Soap for the fragrance, so I am unsure what the best amount would be. The SAP value is NaOH .210 and KOH .230   Posted By: WSP Staff   |   Date: January 07, 2014 Was this answer helpful? Yes | No

Since, Monoi Butter is already scented you could try taking a small amount of the butter and adding a tiny drop of the fragrance that you'd like to use into it. Most CP soaps are fragranced from .5 to 1% of FO's. It really comes down to preference, but never go above the recommended amounts. HTH :)   Posted By: Debbie   |   Date: January 07, 2014 Was this answer helpful? Yes | No

I don't know that this would come through very strongly fragrance-wise, without the addition of an additional fragrance oil or essential oil. The caustic process of CP soap can sometimes weaken a lot of scents. I have found some monoi fragrance, which is similar to gardenia that has a strong scent.   Posted By: Heather   |   Date: June 30, 2014 Was this answer helpful? Yes | No

"I really would like to know how to incorporate some Monoi Butter in a CP soap recipe - yet all the lye calculators I explored will not list Monoi BUTTER; some however will list Monoi oil - can you please help?" Click Here To View 2 answer(s) Posted By: Petra   |   June 03, 2014 Email Me When This Question Gets Answered

I did a little research and found that the SAP value is almost the same as Avocado Butter - which is listed on most soap calculators. I am going to give it a try - a cautious one, hoping the scent will not vanish in the saponification process   Posted By: Petra   |   Date: June 09, 2014 Was this answer helpful? Yes | No

You could superfat at 3% with your regular calculateable oils, and then superfat with the monoi butter blend at trace for > 3% superfat.   Posted By: Heather   |   Date: June 30, 2014 Was this answer helpful? Yes | No

"Moni Butter Blend says you can use in lip products up to 100% with this haveing a fragrance wouldn't it taste floral or like a fragrance on your lips? Also says it is a heavy butter , what could you use with this so it wouldn't have an after greasy feel?" Click Here To View 1 answer(s) Posted By: Thomas   |   June 26, 2014 Email Me When This Question Gets Answered

Staff Answer This butter does have a light floral odor to it so it will smell floral if used in a lip product. The amount of fragrance contained in this butter is an amount that is safe in lip products if you were to use it at 100% in a lip product. If you do not like the floral odor I would recommend blending this butter with another butter or adding another fragrance to mask the floral odor.   Posted By: WSP Staff   |   Date: June 30, 2014 Was this answer helpful?

"In your May issue of Handmade, you listed a recipe for Vitamin E Callus Cream (located on page 18). Can Monoi Butter be added to this recipe to give it a uniqueness? If so, at what amount would you recommend? " Click Here To View 1 answer(s) Posted By: Derek   |   April 30, 2014 Email Me When This Question Gets Answered

Staff Answer Since this recipe does not call for any butters, adding a butter such as Monoi Butter may change the texture of the finished product. Please be aware that if you make any changes to our recipe you alone are responsible for product and recipe testing to ensure compatibility and safety.   Posted By: WSP Staff   |   Date: May 02, 2014 Was this answer helpful?
