Dollz...Sorry you have the eczema issue...but, it's good to hear that someone else is suffering with me I've used everything from oil to lotion to cream and currently and using gel. I haven't found any one particular product that makes it better or worse. Some days it's just rough and others days it's itchy.So, did you say that you mix Shea, cocoa butter and jojoba oil? Do you use equal parts? Also, maybe this belongs in a new thread, but curious if anyone else has this issue. I hadn't thought that it could be me allergic to clients. I've been trying to link it to a food allergy. No luck there yet... :-[

DoLLz,

The massage body butter sounds nice. I think I might have to try it out. I've never used shea butter before. Do you use any special kind of shea (like organic???) or can you just get it at the store?

I order the shea (refined using a cold process) from Camdengrey. com   They are located in Florida and have excellent prices.  It has been suggested that the only shea to use is the unrefined, which has a pretty strong scent and is yellow in its coloring.  I have been told that some shea is chemically processed and looses its valuable attributes.  I imagine anything chemically processed would change somehow, but the cold processed shea, I really dont know how its effected.  I havent had any problems blending it nor have I had any adverse reactions to it.  My clients seem to love it too.
