Best Whipped Shea Butter Body Butter Recipe Ever!

After years of experimenting with different Shea Butter recipes and formulas the Chocolashea Mixtress created this simple, cost effective recipe that is nourishing, healing and fluffy for easy application, gliding gently on your hair and skin. This all natural whipped delight is excellent for hair and any skin type, crafted with convenient ingredients available at your local grocery store! Brought to you by yours truly Chocolashea!

Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup Of Chocolashea's Ivory Organic Shea Butter
  • ½ cup unrefined Coconut Oil
  • 1 cup Virgin Olive Oil
  • Optional:  Add Essential Oils for a lovely aroma or a nourishing boost! - use about 10-20 drops depending on the essential oils used. Peppermint, Citrus, Rosemary and Lavender are our faves!
Instructions
  1. In a double boiler or glass bowl, combine all ingredients except essential oils.
  2. Bring to medium heat and stir constantly until all ingredients are melted.
  3. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  4. Move to fridge and let cool another 1 hour or until starting to harden but still somewhat soft.
  5. Use a hand mixer to whip for 10 minutes until fluffy.
  6. Return to fridge for 10-15 minutes to set.
  7. Store in a glass jar with a lid and use as you would regular lotion or body butter. If your home stays above 75 degrees, it may soften and need to be kept at the fridge, but it will stay whipped at a temperature lower than that.    Enjoy!
