I didn't think I was going to pull this one off! lol. I was rather disappointed in the begining because I felt it just wasn't incooperating as well as the other butters. Cocoa and Mango are much harder butters than Shea. To me, Shea has a very silky almost powdery feel to it. It's rather soft and melts to the touch. I assumed, because of these properties it would make a wonderful cream, I had no idea that it would be such a cumbersome task over the other butters. It takes about an hour longer to make, but..... after much work, I managed to get it to emulsify just the way I wanted it. With the combination of mixing, whipping, cooling and whipping some more.... lol I have a beautifully fragrant Honey and Shea body butter. It has a very rich creamy texture, very solid in holding it's form in the jar.

Earlier today, I was showing the new Body Souffle's off to a couple of folks and I removed the lid and turned it upside down, like they do the blizzard's at Dairy Queen! LOL. You should have seen the look on Mom's face... she just got new carpet in her school room and really didn't want a blop of cream in the middle of it. lol It didn't even budge from the jar! YES! That is how thick and rich these souffle's are! You can literally turn the jar upside down and the cream does not slip out or glob! I discovered this by accident. I had dropped one of the jars... and just like a piece of buttered toast, it landed upside down! I just knew that it had glopped up into the lid and man, that was going to be a mess! But, I opened the jar and amazingly, not a smudge was on the lid. WOW! So now, I am turning my jars upside down and opened to show the thickness.

What's great about this stuff, is it doesn't melt like alot of lotions and butters do. It maintains its consistancy and looks and smells beautiful in the jar, as well as on the skin. I cannot stop looking at my hands to see where I put the cream. In under a minute after application, it has fully absorbed into the s kin... not sticky, not slick, greasy or wet feeling. Just moisturized and wow... . beautiful soft skin.

I can't wait to market this. These are still in testing..... sorry, I know how my excitment gets ya going sometimes to try the new thing..... but I want to make sure this isn't just me being partial and folks really love it and want more before it goes on the store... ( trust me, they will adore this stuff. lol)

Hugs,
