I've used it in lip butter and solid lotion bars. I've tried it as a replacement for CB to no avail. It doesn't have the same wonderful combination of quick-melting silkiness and hardness. I've found that Sal is more on par with Shea Butter rather than CB. Its harder than Shea at room temp, more like mango butter.


CB just has such unique properties.


Where Sal does have merit, in my products anyhow, is a compliment to CB in lip butter. I'm finding similar properties as shea (but not as deeply moisturizing feeling) without AS MUCH graininess. My sal lip butter — when kept in a car, in your pocket, where it warms and cools frequently — still gets grainy after time, but not as much as shea. But, my lip butter with only sal, no CB, is sticky and grippy and not as firm and silky feeling.


I'll just keep hoarding CB for now, though its seriously cutting into the wine budget  :(  🍷 ;)
