I buy most of my vegetable and carrier oils from Mountain Rose Herbs. Here is some information about their butters and waxes from their website.
Cocoa Butter:
An aromatic solid butter pressed from the roasted seeds of the Cacao
tree (Theobroma cacao) and further processed to yield a warm color and
delightful odor. Will soften at body temperature and adds a rich,
creamy, and thick consistency to lotions, soaps, creams, and toiletry
items to help reduce cutaneous dryness and for the improvement of skin
elasticity. A soothing ingredient. Click to learn more, see a photo, and/or order!
Illipe Butter:
Similar to cocoa butter, only firmer. Great for soap-making and balms. Click to learn more, see a photo, and/or order!
Kokum Butter:
A highly prized and under-rated butter from the Garcinia tree. This
naturally white and incredibly smooth butter has enormously high
compositions of beneficial materials to help regenerate tired and worn
skin cells and further supports elasticity and general flexibility of
the skin wall. A great ingredient to add to healing lotions, creams, and
body butters. It can be directly applied to the skin in its solid
state, but it may require a mild amount of heating to improve
applicability. Highly recommended to those that are crafting cosmetics
with the intent of producing a skin healing end product. Click to learn more, see a photo, and/or order!
Mango Butter:
Expeller pressed and rendered from the seed kernel of the Mango tree,
this highly prized butter is an exceptional quality base ingredient for
body care products and soap making recipes. Mango Butter has beneficial
moisturizing properties for lotions and acts as a mild lubricant for the
skin, and is very similar in color and texture as cocoa butter making
it an exotic and fun alternative for toiletry products. Great source of
essential fatty acids.

Shea Butter:
This raw unrefined butter is derived from the vegetable fat of the
Karite Tree. The first choice in natural skin care and fine body care
products, our certified organic shea butter forms a breathable,
water-resistant film and is the leading natural product for
moisturizing. A wonderful base for cosmetic recipes or used as a stand
alone application, this comes highly recommended for those concerned
about naturally healthy skin. Mountain Rose Herbs shea butter is hand harvested,
certified organic, expeller pressed, and is imported directly from the
processor.

Beeswax:
A wonderful substance secreted by worker honeybees. This line of pure,
filtered, cosmetic grade bees wax comes from beekeepers in the United
States that we have a wonderful working relationship with. This
beautiful wax is the finest we have ever acquired; producing a very
fragrant, clean, and perfectly filtered product without the debris and
muddy color found in typical waxes. Use it for cosmetics, salves, body
care products, lotions and you can melt it down to make your own
aromatic candles. Click to learn more, see a photo, and/or order!
Carnauba Wax:
One of the hardest cosmetic waxes found, this wax is taken from the
Brazilian palm tree Copernicia prunifera. A very hard, thick wax with a
high melting point around 180-185 degrees. It is mainly used in
furniture waxes, lipsticks, and cosmetic recipes, which require a
formidable barrier agent. Click to learn more, see a photo, and/or order!
Emulsifying Wax:
A vegetable based emulsifying wax from naturally occurring fats and
esters, further processed into a convenient"pastille flake form".
This excellent medium is used to create a bond between water and oil for products which require their binding together. Makes a fluid cream, and lotion without the separation, and complements the finished products end texture. Click to learn more, see a photo, and/or order!
