RE: Whipped Shea Recipe???

[Guest guest]

Hi Lydia:

When I make whipped shea, I don't melt the shea. My recipe is a simple one.

This is for a small amount.

3 Ounces Shea Butter

1 Ounce oil or oils of choice

Small amount of natrasorb or corn starch to cut the greasy feel.

Cut up the shea butter and put in a mixing bowl, drizzel the oil into the

shea while beating. When it is creamy beat in the corn starch. Continue

beating untill it looks like butter cream frosting.

If you want to use a fragrance beat it in after you have beaten in the corn

starch.

Place in jars.

Lydia,

This has been a hot topic lately.

The general formula is 80% shea & 20% soft oil of choice. Add FO or EO at your

choice. No need to add preservative. Dump into mixing bowl whip till desired

cocsistency.

Whipped Shea Recipe???

I have wanted to try the whipped shea's so many have been talking

about. I was just wondering if someone had a formula they would be

willing to share. Don't want to ask anyone for a recipe, but if

they have a formula that would be great.

Thanks in advance!

Can you make this without the cornstarch? I have a nephew with severe

eczema that I am looking for things to soothe his skin. He is just barely 2

years old but his whole body just cracks. :0( I don't know how the

cornstarch would affect his skin? Also looking for any other eczema relief

recipes, if any one is willing to share. You can also email me off list if

you like.

There are 2 types of eczema (fancy names of course) they are wet, and dry.

Ultimately both types get dry and crack, weepy blisters ect, but with wet

eczema it acts up more when it is exposed to too much moisture ie, sweating,

washing too much ect. So you need to be aware, if you put creams and such

on that lock in the moisture it could be a problem. I have the wet type on

the palms of my hands (hard to keep that dry) and created an oil with zinc

oxide in it to control the moisture.

Hi Tonya:

You don't have to use the cornstarch it is optional, but I use it as well as

cyclomethicone in the batches that I make. They cut out the greasy feel. I

didn't put the cyclomethicone in the recipe as a lot of people don't have

that ingredient, and it is optional.
