There are those that prefer applying whipped shea butter in lieu of standard shea tree butter.
In fact about the only way that you could improve on tree Butter would be to whip it into an easier to apply product. Think about Dairy Butter, it takes on smoother qualities when made into whipped butter.
Unrefined Shea Butter is the best natural moisturizer available to us. Turning it into a fluffy and light product does make it easier to apply. You can do this using 100% tree butter or you can add other oils if you prefer.
In order to whip your own you will need to start with softened butter. It is best to make sure that you don’t heat shea butter too much because the more you heat it, the less of its healing qualities will remain.
I prefer to soften Shea Butter by putting it in a mixing bowl and then put the mixing bowl in a bowl of hot water. It won’t take long. You will want to remove it from the hot water when it is soft.
Once it is softened, you can begin whipping it right away. Or you can choose to add other ingredients to it at this time. I’ll explain both processes.
You can add other beneficial oils at this time if you want. Oils such as Avacado oil, Grapseed Oil and Macedamia nut oil work well. I would not add more than 40% of total combined other oils vs 60% shea butter.
Adding a teaspoon of corn starch to a half pound of butter will minimize the oily feeling you have when using the other oils.
After reaching the mixture you want, begin blending fairly slow to mix your ingredients well.
Should you want whipped shea butter without additives simply start whipping the softened butter.
Using a hand mixer works well.
After your ingredients are mixed, follow the steps below.
Place the bowl with the butter back into the first water bowl now containing ice and water.
Whip it until it forms peaks similar to egg whites.
Fragrance oils can be added at this time if desired. Don’t use more than 5% fragrance or you may be overwhelmed by the scent. It may be best to fold in the fragrance oils after the butter has been whipped.
After folding, you need to whip it again.
Then put your whipped Shea butter into already prepared containers. I like to use small plastic containers with lids that seal.
Store in a cool location (Don’t refrigerate).
