Wow!

Mielle Organics, Kindred Butters, my 9 lbs of Unrefined Shea Butter, 12 lbs of African Black Soap from Etsy, ZeniaHerbals oils and powders, and The Ordinary skin care products are at the couriers and ready for pickup.

Sadly, I won't have time to pick them up before Friday or Saturday though :sad:.

Thanks Sis.:kiss:

How do you plan on using it?

ETA: What's the difference between White vs Yellow?

I think it's only different based on what you're making/doing with them. Some people make soaps and whipped body creams and lotions and prefer some of their products to be either ivory or yellow. But as for the properties, they are the same. The yellow and white shea butter are from the same Karite Tree but are processed differently.

Now Shea Butter also has different grades, Grade A is usually referred as the white unrefined 100% Raw Shea Butter it can be consumed and used in the cosmetic arena. It contains more Shea nuts than grade B Shea butter. Now Grade B Shea butter comes in white and yellow but has *less Shea nuts ( I know kind of hard to explain), it actually seems softer than grade A. Grade B shea butter can not be used for consumption only in cosmetics. Both of the butters I bought, ivory and yellow, are unrefined and pure.

I plan on whipping my ayurveda powders and herbs into the butter to make masks and conditioners for my hair. Plus I will whip up some and make body butters. I will also give some away to some of my natural friends here in the Bahamas. I like helping my friends and family along on their happy hair journeys. I'm even thinking about making some soaps :yep:.

So is it hard when its delivered or is it fairly moist? On the one you're going to add Ayurvedic Powders, are you planning to add oil?

@IDareT'sHair,
They are still at the courier and I haven't had time to pick them up as yet. I am hoping they are soft but if not I will whip them soft. And yes, I am planning on adding maybe evco, jojoba oil, avocado oil, jbco, and a separate mix with some of my ayurveda oils, especially bhringraj with fresh aloe vera from my garden and use it as a scalp balm/pomade - this one should be interesting.

Girl the more I talk about, the more I get excited about it.
 
I forgot, I have some mango butter, jojoba butter, lavender butter, hemp seed butter, aloe butter, and grapeseed butter in my stash that I have to figure out how to add in the mix :look:.

Oh and by the way, all my mixes that I come up with will have some type of essential oils in them. I especially love peppermint, lavender, tea tree, and rosemary essential oils.
