Update: Whipped Velvet Butter

August 11, 2004

Hi Everyone,

I have updated the formulas for the Whipped Velvet Butters. I hope you find

them useful and enjoy using the formulas. God Bless :-)

Update

Whipped Velvet Butter

There are several ways to make a Whipped Butter and one way I like to make it is

by adding some other special oils. They help it to be looser when it is whipped

and they also add to the goodness of the product. You can just whip the Shea

Butter by itself and that will add air to it and it will be of a firm cream

constancy and be very rich for the skin. That it great for someone that has a

challenge with super dry areas on the body. Just remember not to whip to much

air into the mixture, because it will fall, like a Scuffle, when it gets the

least bit warm.

The 2 formulas below are updated. I found that I wanted a bit more firmness

than it had before, so I have added another oz. of Stearic Acid to the mixture.

Because this is such an oily formula, it is super for those with very dry skin

areas. Due to the chemo I went through last year, the soles of my feet are very

dry. They even hurt sometimes when I walk just because the skin is so dry, if I

don’t keep them moistened and keep them pumices and filed. These butters have

been a great help with this along with a lotion that I make based with Shea

Butter. If you add some healing Essential Oils, to it and other helper oils for

Psoriasis and/or Eczema and other dermal rashes, that could be a help in that

area. Also if you make herbal infusions with oils, you could use some in place

of 1 or more of the oils.

I used the parts measurement of 1 oz. So if you wish to make your own with

other combos of oils/butters/stearic this is what I do.

4 parts liquid oil

3 parts of a real butter, not a manufactured one (Shea, Cocoa, Mango, Kokum,

etc.)

3 parts Stearic Acid

You could also add small amounts of any vitamin oils you would like.

TLC Whipped Velvet Butter formulas update below.

TLC Soaps and Sundries

Whipped Velvet Body Butter #1

1 1/2 oz. Sweet Almond Oil, Apricot Kernel or Avocado

1/2 oz. Jojoba

2 oz. Coconut 76° or Fractionated Coconut Oil

3 oz. Shea Butter (Unrefined Golden Yellow)

3 oz. Stearic Acid

1 tsp. Vitamin E or 6 1000 I.U.s squeezed into the mixture

1/8 tsp. FO's or EO's

TLC Soaps and Sundries

Whipped Velvet Body Butter #2

1 oz. Meadowfoam Seed Oil

1 oz. Jojoba

2 oz. Fractionated Coconut Oil

1 1/2 oz. Shea Butter (Unrefined Golden Yellow)

1 1/2 oz. Cocoa Butter

3 oz. Stearic Acid

1 tsp. Vitamin E or 6 1000 I.U.s squeezed into the mixture

1/8 tsp. Lavender

If you like you can add 2 to 3 tsp. Arrowroot to try and help with the heavy oil

that this type of Cream has. It will make is spread well as well, but for

general areas of the body it does not help with the greasiness because those

areas of the body usually do not need a heavy oil product.

Heat Oils, Butter and Stearic Acid over medium heat till melted completely. Stir

frequently. When melted, take from heat, add Vitamin E and your fragrance. You

can start whipping it with your stick blender by cooling the mixture down.

Place your pot in a cold water bath in the sink. I add ice cubes to the cold

water in the sink and move the pot around. Remember do not over whip, it will

not hold the excess air. Whip it to get it to the thickening stage and then

scrap and stir, off and on with my heat resistant spatula until it is cooled. .

I did find that I only needed to whip it a few times because as it cooled it

stayed very loose. So I just kept scraping and stirring and letting it set now

and then in the cold water batch, with the lid on, till it cooled down. Then I

jarred it up and label. If you have ever whipped real butter to make it easier

to spread on toast or other breads, it is the same procedure, except that this

is all melted down to a liquid and then be whipped and stirred and cooled.

I prefer to add Essential Oils to my butters, ointments, whipped butters,

because I want them to help with healing. Here are a few suggestions of

Essential Oils that are easily obtainable and not real pricy.

Lavender, Lavender/Ylang Ylang, Chamomile/Lavender, Peppermint, Lavender/Ylang

Ylang/Patchouli.

There are other Essential Oils like Carrot Seed, Helichrysum, Rose Otto and

others that are more expensive, but are used in just drops and add healing to

the products they are used in.

Herbal Infused oils using Calendula, Comfrey Leaf and Root, Chamomile,

Chickweed, Arnica and many others. Those are just a few that give helpers for

the skin.

HI Shere',

Not honey, I don't know how that one will do. I have tried

Cornstarch, don't like the way my skin feels with that one added and

have tried Arrowroot, still not pleased with how the skin feels

afterwards. So now I just use it as is because it does great for

those parts of the body that really need it. Like my dried, cracked

feet and heels, that have not gotten better even 15 months after the

last chemo treatment. sigh.... another thing is that most people

that want a ture body butter, without all the synthetic junk that is

put into many mass marketed stuff, they will want that extra oil that

is needed for certain skin problems. HTH hon God Bless :-)
