for Bethenys whipped shea butter would sunflower or olive oil be considered a thin oil?? And could you just use a regular electric beater for the mixing? Thanks aletha
I almost always use a hand mixer unless I'm doing a lot. I use sweet almond oil but the next time I'm going to try sunflower as I've had a few customers with nut allergies mention they'd like to try it. I love the feel of sunflower so I think it will be nice. Need to do a test batch first.
Neither Olive or Sunflower are light/thin oils. I would try something like Sweet Almond, Grapeseed, etc. Sara
Hmmmm, I have a can of grapeseed sitting around that I cannot remember what I bought it for. Will have to try it. So sunflower isn't as light as sweet almond? What about jojoba? Would that work. I love the feel of both jojoba and sunflower.
I really like jojoba but it is pretty spendy to use. Sunflower is more of a heavy oil in my opinion. Sara
