"A Very Under Apreciated Butter" |
|
COMMENTS: I had never heard of Sal Butter before I came across it here. I did some research on it and decided to give it a try. I'm so glad I did. This butter is a wonderful addition to my lotions, creams, and lotion bars. It adds a nice element to the skin feel and the texture of my products. It has become a staple in a few of my formulas. It is easy to incorporate and adds a lot of benefits to creams and lotions.

"Spendy but nice" |
|
COMMENTS: This is my first time using Sal butter so I don’t have others to compare it with, but i like it. It’s a bit softer than I was expecting since it’s considered a harder butter, it’s the same firmness as shea. But it made a nice lotion bar when combined with cocoa butter, but it’ll need a tube next time since it melts pretty quick for a bar in a tin. It absorbed nicely and I like having some variety in my products, but if I buy it again I will probably shop for a better price.

"Love this for lotion bars!" |
|
COMMENTS: This has been my favorite butter to use in lotion bars thus far. Makes the bars hard, but not brittle, melts fine on skin contact but holds its shape, creamy feel when applied, but not too "cakey". I recommend trying this butter out.

"Very rich in texture " |
|
COMMENTS: This was my first time using this butter but I found it very easy to work with. This is a somewhat soft butter, not nearly as hard as cocoa butter and not as sticky as shea or mango. I need to learn more about this to market it more effectively but it helped to make a very luxurious butter.

"Used in body whip and emulsified sugar scrub" |
|
COMMENTS: I used this product in a recipe for body whip that I found on this website, and also for an emulsified sugar scrub with a recipe I found on this site. I split the batches and created different scents, and the whip holds the scent and clings to the skin all day. The recipe leaves the skin soft but not greasy. The sugar scrub has not separated and holds color well. This butter melted easily and quickly!

"Amazing Butter" |
|
COMMENTS: I really love this butter as a replacement for Shea butter in my lip balms. The only thing I would caution against is heating the butter too quickly because it will turn grainy in your lip balms. I made that mistake the first round but am going to try again without being too hasty to heat it up. Otherwise, this is a really hard butter and will firm up your lip balms, but it's really smooth once it's in contact with your skin and melts right in.

"Excellent product" |
|
COMMENTS: I started using Sal butter in my lotion bars and lotions instead of Mango Butter, as it is less grainy and I found that some of my customers are allergic to Mango Butter. The Sal butter is really nice for rough skin, and it makes nice thick creams and add structure to lotion bars. Good product. I has almost no odor, and the little it has is pleasant. Good price.
