Great video! Any idea how long will this stuff last?

[Renee Harris]

You may have some ingredient separation issues if kept at temperatures that change dramatically, but other than that, there's an easy 1 year shelf life.

great tip. would she butter loose all its nutrients and minerals if it was cook?

[Renee Harris]

It depends on the purpose you're looking for - for relieving dry skin, it totally works for that, even when heated.

I'd love to try making this, but I live in the tropics and coconut oil is liquid at room temp. Will the lotion melt?

[Renee Harris]

Add more beeswax if you live in temps that are regularly above 90 degrees. Ten - 20 percent more beeswax should be plenty.

You can buy coconut oil almost anywhere - even from Wal-mart. Look for one that melts at 76 degrees (which is the most common).

No. A blender will not whip. However, you can use a hand mixer. I have made whipped shea butter using a hand mixer.
