I made a " Whipped " Shea-Mango Butter, but I'm not really sure how the

consistency should be. It's really smooth and creamy when I finish mixing, but

then

becomes a soft solid butter. Should I be using liquid Shea instead of

melting solid Shea.

Thank you

I did somersaults one year trying to get a whipped Shea....... I just ended

up selling it as is. I've never used liquid Shea.

I'm not sure what you are looking for, but I dont melt anything unless its a

brick (ie kokum or cocoa butters, etc). I just thro it in the kitchenaid & beat

the devil out of it. One of my butters has kokum in it & I do melt it & pour it

in very slowly--a drop at a time--while its mixing. This gives the finished

butter a nice firm texture.

If you are looking for a butter like is available commercially you need to add

water & make a thick cream.

Hi

I make a great whipped shea and use the solid too. I blend shea with apricot

kernel oil and some EO's and FO's and it comes out a wonderful creamy butter.

It's a heavy cream though and I market it for extremely dry skin and a night

cream. Shea is heavy I would suggest if you want a lighter cream try using

smaller amounts of shea mixed with other lighter butters or oils. Also trying

whipping it and then freezing for about 3 or 4 minutes and then whip again. Keep

doing this for about 3 or 4 times. That helps to force air into it to make a

fluffier blend. Good Luck!

Someone took a very very basic body butter recipe from the MMS site. Added

some water, ewax and preservative. It makes a lovely butter, a good one for

elbows and feet. (I forgot what was in it, but it was the easiest butter of

all)

What a great idea, the freezing and re-whipping. I wanna try that!
