Would you know how that works exactly? Also, if the melt point is over 100°F for kombo, is it still inclined to keep an entire recipe at a soft stage... Essentially encouraging a melt below 100°F?<br />Thank you!Ashleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12817311003254888339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2131647485414323768.post-15394946817663702432022-11-07T15:42:56.116+01:002022-11-07T15:42:56.116+01:00HI Mandy thanks for your kind words and the great ...HI Mandy thanks for your kind words and the great suggestion which just made my to do list :DLisaLisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14566391113401195535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2131647485414323768.post-40882185049354424552022-11-06T02:21:51.189+01:002022-11-06T02:21:51.189+01:00Hello - I love this chart providing some informati...Hello - I love this chart providing some information about the various butters.

I have never come across an avocado butter made from the seeds - only hydrogenated avocado oil mixed with shea (or another) butter, so this is new to me and I am officially intrigued! <br /><br />If your supplier has given you documentation with the product, there should be a description of the ingredients. If it is 'persea gratissima seed butter' then it is indeed made form the seeds. If the ingredients description is 'hydrogenated persea gratissima seed oil, XXXX, XXXX' then it is not a seed butter but a 'composed' butter. I hope you'll get back with another comment when you have checked. :)LisaLisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14566391113401195535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2131647485414323768.post-65418093466296806882019-11-24T10:13:49.427+01:002019-11-24T10:13:49.427+01:00Hi Lise I love your blog and i am learning so much...Hi Lise I love your blog and i am learning so much from you. I have a question in regards to avocado butter Made from the avocado seed. I have steen posts om the internet that avocado butter is not Naturalis but hydroginated from avocado oil. But the suppliër i already bought a kilo avocado butter from had this certificaten sheet saying this butter is Made from the seeds. Similar to how mangobutter is made. Its called a certificate of analysis stating it is from the seeds and all specs <br />Have you ever tried this avocado seed butter or is it beter to stay away from using it? I already bought a kilo toen i saw these posts online saying it is considered not Naturalis but is relaxed to hydroginated avocado oil and not the seeds. <br />I highly appreciate your opnion.<br /><br /><br />Thanks and kind regards<br /><br />Pauline<br /><br /><br /><br />in your blog any revérence yet to avocado butter Made from the seeds. Is it because it is not be considered a Naturalis sourced butter?

A whipped butter that stands up through heat would need a larger amount of hard butters to begin with. If you are talking about tropical summer heat you might need to go up to as high as 25% hard butter, where a typical European summer wouldn't require nearly as much. If you do a search on the blog there are a few butter and balm how-to's that might help give you a starting point. I hope this was some help.

Can you order sample sizes of the different butters? That would allow you to patch test. Cocoa butter is also generally well tolerated. I have what I call ridiculously sensitive skin, and mine does very well with cocoa butter, mango, shea, sal and kpangnan. Hope you find the perfect butters for you!LisaLisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14566391113401195535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2131647485414323768.post-45746810995508271122017-12-03T17:53:31.853+01:002017-12-03T17:53:31.853+01:00What butter would you recommend for the most sensi...What butter would you recommend for the most sensitive skin?
