What do you think ladies? Would you try this?
This is exactly how I make mine, w/o the jojoba oil I’m allergic to that.
i tried making whipped shea butter but it hardended afterwards anyone knw why it did tht ??
Maybe you didn’t add enough coconut oil?
I just made a creme with shea, almond oil, evoo, coconut oil, lavendar oil, peppermint oil, tea tree oil and rosemary oil. This was my first time trying shea butter and my hair and skin are in love! <3
please i need to make my own cream where can i get almond oil, evoo, coconut oil, lavendar oil, peppermint oil, tea tree oil and rosemary oil.
thank you
I made this when I first went natural! It took everything inside of me not to lick the bowl/beaters because it looked too much like cookie dough (& didn’t smell bad, either).
Can I get it as fluffy without coconut oil and essential oils?
My skin isn’t too fond of coconut oil and I am eczema prone so If I can reduce the recipe down to basic would be better.
You can get it fluffy without using coconut oil or essential oils. Just use the oils you like or have on hand.
Would Cocoa-Butter work for this recipe in place of Shea-butter? What other butter solids would work if not? Shea makes my scalp itch all the time! Also, where do you by these natural products other than on-line?
Mango butter is a great replacement for shea butter. I use it to seal my ends, same results without the maddening scalp itch caused by shea butter.
Natural products can be purchased at food co-ops or herb stores, but the variety of products they carry is usually limited. If you live in or near NYC, Madina located in Brooklyn, is the Mecca of oils and butters.
I live in the UK and we don’t have a wide range of natural products available to us.
Making my own shea butter concoction has really made a difference. It leaves the hair moisturised but not greasy and heavy. I mix my shea butter with coconut and olive oil. Its a messy process but so worth it and cheaper than importing products from the US.
Mango butter is a good alternative to shea butter. You can get these at http://www.naturallythinking.com/categories/Ingredients/Butters/
