Does it work with whipped shea butter? Don't want the sponge to be the one to absorb it.

dear mike, i have never used shea butter but i do know that the applicator surface is not at all spongie - it's very firm. i don't think it would absorb much of anything. hope this helps you. kay adams

I really don't see why it shouldn't, it works beautifully with every cream or lotion. The sponge doesn't actually absorb, it more or less just holds anything you put on it. It's a fantastic applicator & I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

It should work fine with any lotion. Is not a sponge but a leather applicator

I'd think it would. I've used it with lotions & ointments alike. I can't exactly describe the texture, but it isn't sponge-like in an absorbent way. It doesn't appear to soak up your product, while still being soft & pliable enough to rub it in well.

I don't know about whipped shea butter, but I have used lotions that have shea butter in them. I use aveno ecema a lot, then some think ones from bath & body works, and some others. I will hand wash mine as hot as i can take it hot water. and i scrape on it when i do it. so far mine is still in perfect condition and i think ive had it for approx 6 mo now. i do like it a lot

Yes, just don't mix it very strong. Otherwise Bronner's soap works well too.

I don't know. I am using it with cocoa butter and shea moisturizer. No problem.

I think either will work well. Sponge is quite firm. It does not absorb the lotion.

I didn't try with this. But u can use clear unflavored gelatin to stabilize whip cream. I'm sure you can find instructions online.

You should be able to set it on whipped cream topping with no problems if placed gently on it. My toppers are a thin edible fondant sheets and not the rice sugar paper type so they don't dissolve the same as the rice paper type.

It only works with the wax warmers that you find in the beauty salons. I purchased one from GiGi brand. Just be careful with it as it can get very sticky and difficult to clean sometimes.

Yes..very much so..not as easy to apply as the Shea butter..you have to scrape..it's a lot so it will go a long way

It is plastic. This sponge, contrary to its description, is nothing special. It does not "clean up big messes with little effort." It is that sort of sponge material (think 3M, etc) that is NOT absorbent. In my experience the only absorbent sponge is a cellular type, traditional sponge. Yes, it won't scratch, but it also won't clean or scrub efficiently; you will always have to switch to something else. To answer your specific question, if your cooktop is glass, use a straight-edged metal shaving blade to scrape up burned on stuff; if it's a glass cooktop it won't scratch. Then clean using a product like Cerama Brite and elbow grease.

It would probably give you a really weird texture. It absorbs liquid. I use it in small amounts for baking

I have used it on lighter granite with great success (also used with a sponge). Given how granite tends to vary a good bit, I took some and worked it into the underside of the countertop that is not visible first to make sure it did not impact the color/finish, and I think this is probably a good assurance check before using on the visible portion of the countertop.

Yes it does. I have that in my kitchen. Of course you have to keep in mind any grooves or channels will be passed over in the same manner as a sponge mop would pass over them.

yes it does, the sponge comes with a string. If you use it only for the recommended time, like 6 months or so and keep it in a clean and fresh place, it won't get bacteria anyway. Hope it helps!

I'm not sure about that. I used it to make a body butter by mixing it with coconut oil and shea butter.

Your question was addressed below the description on the Amazon site. As is stated in the description, the shea butter is unrefined, not sure about unfiltered.

Warm water and mild soap works for me. I use the sponge with the Teflon scrubber After the pan has cooled, as soon as possible.

It has to be used for a few times before becoming really absorbent.....it is necessary to wring it as dry as possible. It will become more absorbent than a sponge......mine last a very long time.
