Yummy Whipped Shea Butter Cream

What did I do this week? Well, one thing I managed to get in was making a super moist, whipped shea butter cream. Made with organic, unrefined shea butter, organic unrefined, cold pressed coconut oil, vit E oil, and doTERRA's awesome Balance blend with a few drops of doTERRA's Lavender too!
Have you ever looked up the benefits of Shea butter? I was impressed, and being I adore coconut oil, mixing the two can only be amazing right? Right.
Shea helps with dry skin, insect bites, cracked skin, stretch marks, rashes, itchy skin, arthritis, dermatitis, muscle fatigue, anti inflammatory, wrinkles, full of vit A and E... and the list goes on!

First, I put the shea in the bowl, room temp and forked it over...

I added the coconut oil.... and whipped... and whipped. Ended up that I stuck it in the oven for a few min to melt it down a little because it was still a little grainy (it went away if you rubbed it on your skin, but I wanted the butter texture).

And I got it!! Look at this stuff... looks like some yummy frosting. :)

Here is when I added about 45 drops of each lavender and peppermint, (it might have been a little more.. it was hard for me to smell it, so I kept adding.)

And there they are! 4 oz jars of yummy buttery goodness. 

This is the perfect lotion for anyone out in the work place (as balance helps with anxiety, keeps you grounded, calms...), using it during the day for dry skin, for kiddos at night (the combo of Lavender and Balance help my kids immensely at night!) , feet, hands.... etc!!! Lavender is also a great calming oil, helps with insect bites, cuts, burns, and so much more. I have a feeling I will be finding I am using this alot!! 

Whipped Shea Butter Cream

4 oz shea butter

2 T coconut oil

20-25 drops of essential oil

Mix together the butter and oil at room temp, melt (just enough to whip them up good, but not enough to ruin any good properties) and whip for 5-10 minutes. 

Add the essential oils to your liking and mix up more. Put in jars, seal tight, and enjoy! Keep out of direct sunlight and store in a cool, dry place. 

This should last for 2 years.

By the way, I quadrupled this recipe.. hence the extra essential oils added. :)
