Eep! I just read the article about Talc. I had a minor panic until I remembered that Mom insisted I only use pure cornstarch on my baby’s tush. We are switching to cloth diapers (yes using up the remainder of our disposables yet testing out cloth diapers). She has been having rashes lately so I have been looking up cloth friendly remedies while heavily relying on her cornstarch. But now I am seriously thinking about combing through all of her hygeine items to make sure there is nothing harmful.

Have you ever tried adding essential oils to make it a nice hand lotion? If so, where would you add them?

Sure…but I would be extra careful to preserve the raw properties of the shea butter for best results.

Hi I was just wondering if it’s ok to melt all the ingredients in a double boiler so they mix nicely or is it best to just mix with too much heating?

is there any stores that sell raw shea butter or just shea butter?

You can use it on cloth diapers as long as you use some sort of liner to protect from staining the diapers.

Hi Lindsay! Thank you for sharing this recipe with your readers. All of the products you can buy are rather expensive and I like that this is so simple, as well. I also tried the deodorant recipe and it works so well! I appreciate your heart and love your site.

How long does this cream last? If it’s refridgerated will it last longer?
