0 Make Your Own Exoctic Hair Butters, With Just 2 Ingredients!

Make your own exotic hair butters! I was looking around on The Dish Forum found a post about making your own "butters" using almond oil, hemp seed oil, olive oil, macadamia oil...okay this list is can be endless! But essentially you can make your own  hair or body butter, Almond Butter, Neem Butter, or even JoJoba Butter!!

How?

80/20 (oil/hydrogenated oil) Yep, just 2 ingredients!

Use 80% of the oil of your choice mixed with 20% of Vegethix or Lipidthix (powdered hydrogenated oil) Which you can purchase from Lotion Crafters for $7.50 a pound!

What is LipidThix? Taken from: Lotion Crafters

"LipidThix™ is simply vegetable oil that has been hydrogenated to a powdered form. Soluble in oils, it is ideal for thickening oil soluble products and can be used in balms, butters, salves and scrubs. Creation of a butter such as avocado butter is as simple as melting 20% LipidThix with 80% avocado oil, mixing well and allowing it to cool. Firmness can be adjusted by varying the percentage of LipidThix added to the oil."

INCI: Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil

Compare:

Almond Butter from EW ingredients: Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil (and) Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil)
Macadamia Nut Butter: Macadamia ternifolia (Macadamia) Seed Oil (and) Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil
Jojoba Butter: Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil (and) Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil


Tip for if/when you make your own butter:

"If you've been thinking about doing this, I highly recommend it. I'm getting the best results by melting the oil & LipidThix together then stick blending it periodically, as it cools, until it thickens - this gives the butter a nice, creamy texture. When I just melted the two together & mixed with a spatula, it seemed to look a bit gritty, which I wasn't crazy about."

Here is the thread: The Dish Forum

I plan to try this soon!! If you try it tell me how it works for you!!
