making whipped shea butter question-one other question

[Guest guest]

When whipping, freezing, whipping freezing and adding oils and eo's,

does the original unrefined shea lose any of its great qualities or

does that only happen when it is refined? Susan Thanks for the other

info.

import company how to make whipped shea butter. She told us to use 80%

shea butter and 20% light oil (I like to use Monoi). Soften, not melt,

the shea butter, add the oil and whip. With out the oil, thee butter

is too thick to whip. When it's about double in size/volume it's done.

Use a little bit - a tiny bit goes a long way. If it feels greasy on

your skin, you used too much. I've been making my butters this way

ever since and have never had a problem. It's a favorite project when

I teach soap making/ bath & body products at a local school district's

community education classes
