Directions:
This recipe was shared by Laura
Cox! Thanks Laura!
Approx. 60% Shea Butter
Approx. 40% Natural Oils
(You can use any of our fixed/carrier
oils like Soy, Sweet Almond, Grapeseed, Avocado, etc.).
Corn Starch (optional, but
some feel it cuts down on the "greasy" feeling).
Any lotion safe fragrance
oil, or you can use all natural essential oils instead if you prefer.
Mica Powders can be used to
give the butter a little shimmer or color (optional).
Basic recipe for a one
pound batch:
10 oz. Shea Butter
6 oz. Fixed Oils (you can
use all one, or use 2 oz. each of 3 different oils)
2 tsp. Corn Starch (can add
more if desired)
.5 oz. fragrance oil (3% should
be plenty, but you can add up to 1 oz for 6.25%)
-
In a large
pyrex measuring bowl, melt your shea butter in a pan of water (double boiler
method) on the stove. Once melted, add your oils, fragrance oil and
corn starch. Stir very well.
-
Remove the
pyrex bowl and set it inside of a large metal bowl filled with ice water
for a cold water bath. This will help cool the butter faster and
is much easier than having to keep putting it in the freezer in between
whipping.
-
Using a
hand mixer, whip the butter continually for several minutes just like you
would frosting. It will begin to cool and as you keep mixing, it
will start to look like whipped cream. Once the butter has solidified
and has the right whipped texture (it will have peaks on top just like
cool whip!), spoon it into your jars and you are finished!
Tips:
-
These butters
look great packaged in our clear
PET plastic oval jars! Clear labels look best on these!
You can buy clear Avery labels at your local office supply store to print
on your ink jet or laser printer.
-
You can
also use the metal
candle tins, but be aware that some fragrances may cause the tins to
rust.
-
Try making
a lickable body butter by replacing the fragrance oil with one of our Kiss
Kwenchers Pre-Sweetened Flavor Oils! Note: Leave out the
Mica Powder if making edible products as not all Micas are consumable.
-
You can
call these Whipped Body Butters, Whipped Shea Butter, Whipped Body Cream,
Body Frosting, Body Whips, etc! Shea Butter is a hot product on the
market, so it's a good marketing tool to incorporate the word Shea.
These butters have been sold in shops and on websites for around $4.00
per oz!

Our Homespun
Sugar fragrance from BC
South smells excellent in this recipe! Just like Cool Whip!
-
Be sure
to include a label on the back, or a hang tag attached to the neck of the
jar that includes the ingredients! This is a cosmetic, so you must
list the ingredients in proper order and by their INCI name. We have
the INCI names for all of our vegetable oils & butters & mica on
our website. Here is an example of what your ingredient list should
look like:
Butyrospermum
Parkii (Shea Butter) Fruit, Glycine Soja (Soy) Oil,
Vitis
Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil,
Fragrance
(or Flavor), Corn Starch, Tocopherol (Vitamin E).
