Colony • Georgia Date Submitted:  01/09/2021 I Recommend This Product!

"Great product" COMMENTS:  Great product for my soaps. PRODUCT USED IN:   Soap - Cold Process

Penny • California Date Submitted:  03/09/2019 I Recommend This Product!

"Not what I expected (but still good)" COMMENTS:  I thought because of the high-temperature melting point, it would be more solid, but this butter is pretty soft. You can smoosh it pretty easily with your hands, and crumbles a lot. When I made my lotion bar, the bar felt extra oily, so I had to add extra arrowroot powder to balance it out. PRODUCT USED IN:   Lotion Bars & Sticks THINGS I LIKE   THINGS I'D LIKE TO CHANGE • very oily • it's not solid, feels like feta cheese

"AWESOME CREAMY BUTTER TEXTURE" COMMENTS:  I was hesitant to buy bc of higher cost than my beloved Shea and Mango butter addictions,BUT I wanted a softer, smoother butter to create a creamier glide in my body butters.

"I would like to replace some butters in a body butter with this blend. What is the consistency? Can it replace avocado, mango or shea butter?" Click Here To View 1 answer(s) Posted By: Joseph   |   February 09, 2016 Email Me When This Question Gets Answered

Staff Answer The Palm Butter Blend has an average melt point of 119°-135°F so it is somewhat harder than our other butter blends. This is something good to look at when considering a substitution for a butter in any recipe. This will affect the consistency of your end product so always be sure to test your recipe when making any substitutions.   Posted By: WSP Staff   |   Date: February 12, 2016 Was this answer helpful? Yes | No

"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

This is a soft wonderful butter that blends into the skin very nice it soaks in rather quickly and the smell is devine. It has a strong lemon smell. no fake or cleaning smell Thank you Tracy   Posted By: Tracy   |   Date: October 02, 2014 Was this answer helpful? Yes | No
