Ingredients

Instructions

  • Soften and Mash the Shea Butter

    Mash your shea butter with a fork or spatula to break it up. I used my mixer to break it up - but I was making a pretty small batch! This step makes whipping your body butter much easier and smoother.

  • Start Whipping

    Begin whipping the shea butter with a hand mixer until it starts to smooth out.

  • Add Grapeseed Oil

    Slowly add grapeseed oil while continuing to whip.
    This helps create a softer, more spreadable whipped body butter.

  • Add Fragrance Oil

    Once the mixture is smooth, add your fragrance oil and mix thoroughly.
    ⚠️ Always check with your fragrance supplier for the correct usage rate for body butter products.

  • Add Arrowroot Powder

    Sift in the arrowroot powder slowly while whipping to avoid clumps.

  • Whip Until Light and Fluffy

    Continue whipping until your whipped shea body butter is:
    Light
    Airy
    Smooth
    Able to hold soft peaks

  • Transfer to Containers

    Spoon your finished whipped body butter into clean jars and store at room temperature.
