Same goes for glycerine - but it's lighter so it mixes a bit better but you have to whip then pour quickly or the glycerine settles out.<br /><br />I am going to try powdered honey in my next batch, I'll let you know how it works out.<br /><br />Also, instead of a double boiler I just use a pyrex 1 or 2 cup measuring cup in a small pot of hot water on the stove.<br /><br />The shea butter can't be heated over 160 deg. farenheit (sp) so if you use shea be sure to get a candy/frying thermometer and keep it under 160.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02847352035708912555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24114048.post-17318176078066403582012-01-11T17:18:42.290-08:002012-01-11T17:18:42.290-08:00I am not sure about Dr. Bronners.
