How to make Wipped Unrefined Shea Butter

I made this today following this recipe but with almond oil instead of grape-seed oil (I'm allergic) and it is sooooo nice! Should keep me soft all winter. I have used unrefined shea butter in the raw form on my skin, but this makes it easier to apply and I can tell that it will make it last a lot longer too.

I think this is a nice recipe for skin but definitely not for hair. All of those additions take away from the properties of the shea. It's not a good idea to completely change the composition/smell of your shea. A little coconut oil/jojoba oil and fragrance will work just fine.

i did not watch this complete video, if she needs gloves 2 make it, i don't want it newhere near my skin.

it's for hygiene purposes more likely. remember they SELL the stuff?

You must not have watched hardly any of the video because at 1:51 she mentions why she wore the gloves...

She's wearing gloves to keep it sanitary which is important if you're planning on selling or gifting the whipped butter once you're finished making it.

@tikitikiboom that is for sanitation purposes. Bacteria from hands can grow in oils. Shea butter is one of the best things on earth you can put on your skin.

@tikitikiboom the gloves were for sanitary reasons. Just like when someone makes a sandwhich for you, they wear gloves. Have you never heard of shea butter?

Bergamot stinks, I like rosemary better.

Wow, I love the recipe. I just started making butter for my hair and noticed I could use it for skin and nails. I really enjoyed seeing the butter turn a different texture and color with the preservatives. I do need to do some research of my own though. What do you use to add color/change color?
