Sulfur butter recipe
Feb. 7th, 2020 01:21 pmFor all the users of Braunfel Labs Sulfur Butter cream 'n ointment, who are, like myself, devastated that they seem to be discontinuing the product and that no other like it exists, be comforted! It's dead easy to make yourself; takes about an hour, all told. Welcome to the product of my experimentation.
Ingredients
2oz shea butter (or 4oz for old recipe)
2oz vegetable glycerine (or none, for old recipe)
1 Tbs jojoba oil
1 Tbs hemp oil
1 Tbs avocado oil
.4oz sulfur powder (soil grade)
Materials
kitchen scale
small sauce pan
small metal or pyrex bowl
hot pad
whisk or egg beater
spatula
a spoon or two
4oz dark glass jar
Directions
Measure out your shea butter by weight.
Fill the sauce pan a quarter full with water and place the pyrex or metal bowl on top of it so you have a 'double boiler' arrangement.
Put the shea butter in the bowl and set the whole thing on the stove. Heat on medium until water simmers and the shea butter melts.
Measure out your glycerine by weight and add it (or, if you want to make the old-style recipe, don't and just use 4oz shea butter). Add the oils and stir a couple times.
Remove bowl from saucepan, place on hot pad. Weigh out and add the sulfur powder, and whisk or beat in until fully dissolved. This will take several minutes. Note: if you really want the full effect of the original product, do not use MSM. Use soil-grade, yellow sulfur powder. Yes it's more caustic, that's why the ultra moisturizing ingredients and also why you don't leave it on more than 24 hours. Bonus: soil grade powder is way easier to dissolve.
Place bowl in the fridge or freezer and chill until it starts to solidify (about 20 minutes in the fridge). Remove and whisk or beat until it fully solidifies and turns opaque. This will take several minutes. If it just isn't solidifying into a thick cream, chill it for a little longer and try again.
Spoon into the glass jar, scraping bowl with spatula to make sure you get it all, because hemp oil is not cheap.
Behold, you now have your very own Sulfur Butter cream and ointment. Enjoy!
When cleaning up, be sure you run the hot water for a little bit to make sure everything gets rinsed down without clogging your sink, and don't forget to wash the underside of your egg beater. It will have gotten a bit moisturized.
