Re: Whipped Shea Butter???

[Guest guest]

Here is a recipe I picked up somewhere. It calls for beeswax though.

Whipped body butter

Here is the recipe that I used (very small batch at this time)

2 Tablespoons of Grapeseed Oil

1 Tablespoon of Shea Butter

1/2 teaspoon of beeswax

Melted these ingredients together to the 160 (for graininess in shea

butter) then mixed in

4 Tablespoons of Distilled Water

1/2 teaspoon of Flax oil

Then I used my stick blender and whipped and whipped and whipped.

Everything incorporated great and it came out looking like whipped

cream. Very light and not heavy feeling.

Dream big, worry small!

-- Whipped Shea Butter???

I've got Shea Butter, a bunch of oils (Jojoba, Sweet Almond,

Grapeseed, Sunflower, Safflower) and would like to make 8 oz of

whipped shea body butter. Any ideas on what I need to do? How much

of each, etc?

Thanks

I would take 6oz melted shea, 2oz oil & fragrance, put it in a glass

or metal bowl, set that bowl in a larger glass or metal bowl & add

ice ( & water) between the two bowls making an ice bath. Whip it with

a hand mixer untill it turns white & stiff. Voila! Whipped Butter!

Leave out the fragrance & it can be used on cuts, burns, nursing

mom's nipples & babies bottoms. HTH!-Tabitha
