KMommy Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 I've been reading the post concerning eczema and was wondering if I could create something that had the consistency of butter and include calendula, emu oil and maybe a few more oils that are good for the skin like vit. E. Is there any specific butter that would be more suited for this purpose - shea, mango, coco butter? If anyone has a recipe or suggestions for the amounts to use I would great appreciate it if you would post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daniedb Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 Now, remember, I'm still in the researching stage, so take my suggestions with a grain of salt, but here are the butters that I've read have the best healing properties:unrefined shea (without peer, I would highly recommend it)refined sheaavocadohempseedThose are the best ones I can recommend right now, MMS has them all for a very reasonable price.

KMommy Posted November 2, 2005 Author Share Posted November 2, 2005 Thanks everyone! annareeb,If you don't mind me asking...do you have a recipe? I am not sure what percentage of oils to use per amount of butter. I don't want a very greasy butter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
