Whipped Shea Butter Recipe - Healthier Steps

Amazing creamy Whipped Body Butter, is easy to make at home, silky soft shea butter, olive oil, grapeseed oil with lavender essential oil.

So I decided to share one of my recipes with my readers.

I made and sold them at Farmer’s markets, and stores years ago.

Since moving to Florida, I have been a full-time food blogger/caterer and I haven’t had the time to get back to making my skincare products for the market.

Whipped Body Butter

Whipped Body Butter used on the skin, leaves the skin feeling soft and supple, it is great for dry skin conditions and for those with very sensitive skin.

 Break Down Of Ingredients:

• Shea Butter – is the fat that comes from the shea nut tree from West Africa. It contains a high concentration of fatty acids and antioxidants. Shea butter is anti-inflammatory,  a highly sought-after ingredient in the cosmetic industry. It is also popular in natural hair care products. Read More.
• Coconut Oil –  is made from the flesh of the mature Coconut. Coconut oil contains medium-chain fatty acids and has anti-inflammatory, moisturizing, anti-fungal, and antibacterial properties. Read More.
• Grapeseed Oil – is made from leftover grape seeds from the manufacturing of wine. It contains Vitamin E and omega 6 fatty acids. Vitamin E helps fight free radicals.

• Lavender Essential Oil – not only smells amazing, but it also has great skin benefits. It has antimicrobial properties. Read More. It has anti-inflammatory properties and is used for the treatment of burns, as well as acne or other dermatological conditions. Read More.

To make body butter, I cut the shea butter into pieces and place it into an electric mixer, I added melted coconut oil, grapeseed oil, and process it until the body butter looks like whipped cream. I then add the essential oils and whip until the essential oil is fully incorporated.

What Equipment I Used

• I have a Kitchen Aid Mixer and a Bosch Mixer.

Ingredients For Homemade Body Butter

• 1 cup Shea Butter
• 1/2 cup Coconut oil (melted)
• 1/2 cup Grapeseed oil
• 30 drops Lavender essential oil
• Container with tight-fitting lids
• 1 tablespoon Vitamin E oil (optional for longer-lasting body butter)

Combine shea butter, coconut oil, grapeseed oil, and lavender essential oil in an electric mixer and process until the body butter is soft and creamy and there aren’t any visible solid pieces.

Melt shea butter and coconut oil using a double boiler if they are really hard, especially during the winter months.
