Louise, Shea is more of a problem with lotions (although I've not had any issues) with it becoming grainy. No problem in soap. I've not used mango butter in soap, but I use shea all the time. Its lovely.

Hi allThis weekend I'm hoping to make a moisturiser and would like to make either a goats milk soap or a soap with shea butter or mango butter. Still haven't decided on whether or not to do a lard soap. I've been doing some researchon the dish forum and lots of people rave about goats milk soap, others about shea butter (some say that mango butter is better to use than shea because it can become grainy) - I'm wanting to know if anyone has used any of these kinds of soap and whether they found them particular good or not. Thanks in advance Louise --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------This list is sponsored by http://www.soapcraft.co.nz - supplier of raw ingredients.To unsubscribe from this list go to //www.freelists.org/list/soapcraft/ enter your email address and choose unsubscribe.
