And look how yummy!
I just might market this stuff.
For you mixtresses out there, here are the ingredients:
mango butter
shea butter
kokum butter
glycerin (very little)
gel
a bit of olive oil
fragrance (vanilla)
I make a 4oz amount by mixing about 1/4 cup of melted mango and kokum butters (you must melt separately because their melting points are different and if you melt together you may over-melt the mango butter) with 3 tablespoons melted shea butter (also melted separately). I mix the melted butters together in a blender at high speed, adding a bit of glycerin, olive oil and about a 1/2 cup gel. Once all ingredients are together I remove from blender (while still warm) and begin to mix by hand painstakingly until the mix has cooled (solidified) into a smooth, whipped cream (see pic above).
That's all folks. This stuff works great on my kinky curls, giving both the definition and moisture I need.
