Ingredients

Instructions

  • Soften the Shea Butter

    If your shea butter is firm, let it sit at room temperature until slightly softened.
    Mash it with a fork or spatula to break it into smaller pieces before whipping with a hand mixer.

  • Add Carrier Oil

    Pour in the safflower oil and lightly mix with hand mixer to combine.

  • Whip until light and fluffy

    Using a hand mixer, whip the mixture until it becomes:
    Light and airy
    Smooth and creamy
    Able to hold soft peaks
    This usually takes a few minutes depending on your mixer.

  • Transfer to Container

    Spoon your whipped shea butter into clean, dry jars and store at room temperature.
