Whipped shea butter

So easy but so nice!
For this you need an electric beater that has a whisk attachment.

Ingredients
Makes 100g - use our Batch Size Calculator and the percentages provided here to easily adjust the volume of your batch.

100% | 100g organic shea butter (refined or unrefined)

Optional
1% | 1g essential oil or fragrance oil (Take the 1% out of the shea butter)

Method

• Put shea butter in a bowl and start whisking. If it is too hard, then melt it just a little.
• It's good if you can get away without doing this as it's easy to over-melt it. Then you'll have to cool it!
• The heat generated from whisking can be enough to melt the shea butter.
• Whisk for ages (30 mins or more), so it's good if you have a machine you can turn on and leave.
• The idea is to get as much air into the shea as possible. Whisk until it is twice the volume and is light and fluffy.
• Pour or spoon into containers while it's still warm. When it cools it will harden but will have a wonderful light texture.
• A nice touch is to use an icing bag to put it into containers.

Note
You can add some carrier oils to the shea butter. No more than 10% though.
