Butters:
Two new butters have been added to our line --
GRAPESEED BUTTER
AND
HEMPSEED BUTTER, which are hydrogenated from the fixed
vegetable oil and retain all the same benefits.
Hydrogenation is the process of adding hydrogen atoms to the
carbon-to-carbon double bonds in unsaturated fatty acids.
This process results in higher melt points, higher solid fat
content and longer shelf life without rancidity in
fat-containing products.
On the topic of hydrogenation, we are concerned that there is a
misconception of hydrogenated butters in cosmetic use.
Hydrogenated fats have received a bad rap during the past few
years from the medical community, and rightly so. We now know
that hydrogenated fat is not something that we should
incorporate into our daily diets and at best kept to minimum
consumption!
On the other hand, hydrogenated butters for cosmetic use is a
“good fat”. These highly emollient butters, as with all
hydrogenated butters, will give you the same properties as their
oil origins. These oils typically have a shelf life of one year,
but with hydrogenation the shelf life is extended to two years
without losing any of the quality. They are a lovely pale cream
in color with a smooth texture similar to shea butter. Try these
butters in your lip balms, body butters, creams, lotions, soaps
and more with less worry about shelf life! These butters are
available in 1 lb. containers, 8 lb. and 15 lb. pails.
Waxes:
You are going to be surprised at this long list of new plant
waxes that we have added which are a great alternative to
beeswax. We now carry:
• APRICOT WAX
• JOJOBA WAX
• SOY WAX
•
SWEET ALMOND WAX
• WHEAT
GERM WAX
These exotic and unique waxes are in pastille form, easy to
weigh or measure when formulating your products and easy to
melt! Try them for lip balms, lotion bars and to add body to
your butters. Use in soap to promote hardness and discourage
soda ash. Available in 1 lb., 5 lbs., 10 lbs., 25 lbs., and 55
lbs. sizes.
