If one happens to visit or lives in Vancouver BC, there is a place called the African Fair Trade Society that has shea butter in bulk and otherwise. I like the company. I order by mail. I love shea butter. I have never whipped my mixes. No idea why I didn't think of it, but I use shea in deodorant recipes, lip remedies, and skin applications. I wish I had started to use it when I was young and exposed too much my skin to harsh near equatorial sun.
I’m not sure if I was looking in the right place but where can I find where you purchase the shea butter and recipe thank you for sharing this video it was great :)
Thank you for your videos I’m gonna make a anti-fungal butter at home using Unrefined Virgin Coconut Oil, Unrefined Raw Shea Butter, Unrefined Crude Cocoa Butter, Melissa, Tea Tree, Lavender. Coconut oil has Anti-fungal properties.
This is what I've been needing, my skin just doesn't like drugstore lotion and creams. I normally just use raw shea butter and melt it between my hands. I want to experiment and try this whipped version with some extra oils so my body can shine bright and stay hydrated ✨
@@britany_lmp5112 hi yes you may add essential oils but please be mindful and test it out first because essential oils tend to sensitize the skin and cause contact dermatitis but it's not a one size fits all if you are not allergic to it of course you can add it into your body butter.
Just a heads up, essential oils and fragrances can be very irritating to the skin. I would skip it if you have sensitive skin or if youre making it for your baby. I love the recipe!! Im defs gonna be trying this!
This is mostly because people use trash, drugstore/Amazon essential oils. Try small amounts of a high quality essential oil if you’re wanting fragrance***
1. 2 hours (Could be longer if you didn’t have chunks and was completely melted) 2. Shea butter last 2 years when properly stored so it depends which oils you add to it
Awesome video! Came up first in my search for making my own body butter. Worked amazingly and I made 3 16 ounce jars worth! You are amazing! Thanks again and never underestimate the value of older YT videos!!🎉 Cheers!
I buy organic shea butter and just use that plain. Since it is naturally soft, you can use it straight as is. I love how moisturized it makes my skin 😊
Just for anyone who has eczema: This is a GREAT recipe. The only thing I would say coming from someone who had it really bad, I DONT recommend essential oils. If you have a brand that doesn’t irritate your skin, by all means use that. But be careful.
@@iamroyalty29 YES 🙌 So what I would say is using something like maybe coconut oil if you like the smell of it, or shea butter. That gives it a nice scent. But for other scents like say lavender, lemon, citrus, etc. I recommend diluting essential oils. This is no where near as complicated as it sounds 😅. I just recommend getting your favorite ECZEMA SAFE moisturizer and some water. You can use the moisturizer from this recipe, but if you have something that doesn’t have shea butter in it , that would be best because the smell of the shea butter might overpower the essential oils, especially in diluted form. What you need to do is just take about a tablespoon of HOT water. VERY important that it’s hot. Then take whatever essential oil you would like and drop about 5 drops into the water. This will fill the water with scent, but dilutes the oil enough so it does it irritate your skin. If you have a bigger quantity of moisturizer than, say a Cera Vae moisturizer pump bottle, I would recommend using about 2 tablespoons of this substance, depending on how scented you want it to be. But BE CAREFUL to NOT add too much of the substance or else you moisturizer will become watery and less helpful for your skin. I hope this helped! And sorry it’s so long 😅
The body butter looks good. Looks like whip cream .I love how you talk about the essential oils.the orange essential oil smells so good. Iove the lavender smell
would you be willing to share your specific recipe? I've been looking for a good handcreme (though I haven't searched youtube for one in some time and will do that too.) Thanks for any time in this.
Let me start off by saying that you are GLOWING! I’m so happy that I found your channel because I’ve never made body butter before and I was a bit nervous. You make everything look so simple! Can’t wait to follow your steps!
Yes try it you won't regret it..love she butter it's amazing but I will tell ya I had to try a few different butters because we all have different opinions and our body's crave different butters too mango is awesome too my mother and mother in law love mago butter just as much as shea honestly I gave both to them and they truly couldn't tell me the difference lol but it did come down to they truly loved shea a little more lol I also will recommend getting some arrowroot powder to help with tht greasy feel tht you sometimes may get from all the oils trust me it will make a huge difference it does not take much.. I totally recommend trying this out..GOOD LUCK 😊
@@fayful1 hello .I ordered mine from Amazon..it really depends how much u make..for mine it's usually just a tsp or little more..good luck..u will see a huge difference when adding arrowroot
I do mine just Shea butter and coconut oil❤️. And I do my deodorant wax with Shea butter, coconut oil and jojoba wax and usually orange essential oil. This one is good to put quite a lot of jojoba wax so it’s very dry and thick to put under arms.
From personal experience, shea is wonderful on the face - only ad jojoba oil as olive oil may be too heavy and apply in the evening. Yes, it will feel greasy, but it's wonderful on the skin. Shea is non-comedogenic and won't clog the pores, and jojoba oil is very facial skin friendly (I have sensitive and dry skin).
I'm going to make this. I have super dry skin, and already buy aqueous cream and add in essential oils, but even that isn't as thick and rich as I'd like it to be. I love how good I smell, and how hydrated my skin feels, but can imagine how much better my skin will feel and be with your recipe. My skin drinks up any moisturisation like a desert. So thank you for this recipe.
I love your video. Well done. The only query I would add is vitamin e oil is not a preservative nor a natural preservative. It is an antioxidant that prevents the oils from going rancid or extends its shelf life. It doesn't prevent the growth of mold or bacteria which is why products that have water or aqueous solution in the ingredients or may be get water into the product via the user, need a preservative.
Thank you for this!!! I absolutely love Shea butter and argan oil (coconut oil and butter don't seem to do much for my skin). My fav product is the whipped body butter from Alaffia ✨✨
Just a tip for everyone - Coconut oil has quite a high comedogenic score which means it might not work for those prone to clogged pores, acne, etc. Each carrier oil has a score you can look up but most of the others seem to be fine. Jojoba oil is great for balancing oil production x
Wow I was just randomly recommended this. So glad I watched the whole thing. Your body butter looks softer and creamier than any product I’ve seen sold In stores
Really I did not know that I always buy the yellow one from Kuza! The yellow Shea looks great on brown skin. I always thought they added the root 🤷🏾♀️
@@zerosix042013 Yes, the yellow Shea butter has the turmeric which is also good because it’s anti inflammatory. So if you do get the original Shea butter then you can always add a little turmeric to it if you want some with the turmeric and some without.
The recipe looks beautiful but I can't seem to find the recipe anywhere cuz she doesn't say in the video how much coconut oil she used or how much shea butter do you have those amounts thank you
-Shea butter , cut it up so it’s easier to melt. -heat up water for double boiler , don’t overheat or else when whipping it won’t whip properly - add jojoba oil , coconut oil , vitamin e oil ,baobab seed oil , castor oil , essential oils ( you pick which ones u want :D ) -mix and freeze it for 25 mn - take out freezer once you have a vaseline texture , whip until you get a whipped cream like texture ( about 5-15 min) all depends how thick it is - add arrowroot powder if you want less greasy butter - store in an airtight container
I’m doing my research now on making my own. So this was very helpful. I do see that you didn’t add the arrowroot powder like I’ve seen in other videos.
i got some body butter in the mail from somewhere else and when it came it was melted and was no longer "whipped"...i followed your video and was able to whip it real good. now im thinking about making my own instead of buying theirs.. i just need to find the fragrance oil. Thanks again
Recently got hives. Its awful. Very itchy. I used raw shea butter and melted it in my hands. This helped calm the itch. Wanted to share if someone is experiencing hives. I am going to explore adding a little bit of coconut oil.
Coconut oil dries out my skin so much and makes my skin worse than before I applied it. Yet every one uses it in their body butter so I’m going to make my own. Thanks for the recipe!
Thanks! You definitely let the data decide the best butter for bodily use!

I've done my batch , again! Each time I make my body butter, almost every 3 quarter of the year, I stumble upon this channel!!! It's shooooo gooooood!!!!!Thaks for the idea!!!
I made a hair cream with mango butter, shea butter and kokum butter but it came out like a stiff mascarpone texture. I'm going to make this and tweak it with some carrot oil as well and a few drops of vitamin A (to help lighten acne and surgery scars)
I have been making this without my heat or a whisk. I was lazy so just chopped small and then mashed with a fork. It still works wonders but takes so much energy to work into my skin
I don't use heat, but I do use a whisk for a few minutes. But my butters do come out thicker than hers though. I might try whisking for 20 minutes and see what happens.
I have eczema and will occasionally get bad razor burn after shaving cause my skin is so sensitive. I’ve discovered that adding one-two drops of Clove Essential oil to a tablespoon of coconut oil and putting it on my skin will soothe and get rid of the itchiness of my skin! I can’t wait to make this so I can just add the clove essential oil in the recipe once instead of using the dropper every time I lotion up.
Thank you; I have eczema as well and most creams/ moisturisers I try always break out my skin- no fragrance, natural, oatmeal, the most raw of ingredients- I always end up breaking out in itchy patches so I will try close essential oil.
@@lr4828 hi there! Quick update: I made some whipped Shea butter mixed with Kukui Nut Oil, Evening Primrose oil and added some drops of clove oil (about 10 for my 4 oz container) and let me tell you! I was getting an eczema flare up on my arm (itching, inflamed skin, almost bleeding) and after applying it just once after I showered, the inflammation and dry area went down significantly!! So if you keep using this mixture it will definitely help!! 🤩🤩
I would recommend you storing it in the fridge if you want to keep it for more than a week or two, just because if you dip your fingers in you are introducing bacteria and fungi that grow at room temp and you will slow that process significantly by cooling it. But if you want to let it sit outside just put a spoon or spatula next to it and use that instead of your fingers. An added bonus would be putting Vitamin E in it and if you don't mind the scent of tea tree or rosemary oil both of those have antibacterial and antifungal properties that will also inhibit the floaties from growing. Source: worked in an apothecary where we mixed balms, butters and lotions.
I made a 50% cocoa butter soap. Made my liver quiver. I'm going to try shea butter @50%. I do make my own body butters....... super nice. My skin does glow and in the sun it sparkles. Giving God all the glory 😍
Thank you so much for this video love the recipe my skin loves butters! I get a distinct shine from Shea butter especially. Lotions nice but Butters are the holy grail!!!
I’ve been seeing a lot of people telling others to put their butter in the fridge first. How long do you let it sit/cool? Outside on the counter? Also, should it be twice as much oil than Shea butter? I made a butter but it was really thick 😫 wasn’t creamy like yours. I also noticed mine was very oily. And ruined some of my clothes. Idk what I’m doing wrong, too thick and oily LMAOO Thanks for sharing!!!!! Appreciate it ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much,i have been looking for the cream that will be good for my body but someone said I should try Shaa butter and coconut oil Thank God I came across your video now I can add other oil like vitamin e oil thanks
Hello!! I’ve been making a similar body butter for a year now and I usually make 12 ounces at a time, and for that amount I use aboutttt 20 drops of lavender oil! It usually gives the good scent plus the benefits of the lavender oil :) I have dry skin and share with my boyfriend and lasts us maybe 3 months? But I’m sure it doesn’t “expire” any time soon!
Hey Rachel! Thank you for your amazing recipes. Lots of love!! I tried making the body butter but didn't get the whipped cream texture. I'm not sure what I did wrong :( Perhaps could you share the exact measures that you used? Thanks so so much 😍
Hi Lucia, I'm not sure if you've tried to make this again but I've just made it and here is what I've found. As Rachel said, let the Shea butter cool down a bit. I was really impatient but I found standing the bowl with melted Shea butter in another bowl with ice cold water in it really helped whilst I whipped it up. This helps the mixture to cool faster. You'll still have to whip it for 20 minutes or so but you'll definitely see it coming together. Wear an apron! Also put down some paper or tea towels when you're whipping otherwise you'll get lots of splashes of mixture everywhere! Also make sure the bowl you're mixing in is quite deep as this will double in size AT LEAST! Make sure you have enough containers to hold the finished butter. It will increase in size. I added 2 capfuls of Castor Oil which was fine but maybe 1 or 1.5 would have been enough. For reference, I used 500g of solid Shea butter, 2 capfuls of castor oil with 20 drops of essential oil and it whipped up beautifully! Good luck! 😊👍
Rachel, will you please share your skin routine and products that you use on your face? Your face is beautiful!!! Thanks for sharing your Shea butter recipe!❤️
Thank you! Rachel Nice video. You can put these creams on the face safely enough; providing you don't use any oils that are heavily perfume type. Many shop bought cosmetic creams have lots of perfumes that shouldn't be used on the face.
THANK YOU FOR WATCHING!!!! plugs in description. Please share your plugs too! xxxxxx

Just a heads up, essential oils and fragrances can be very irritating to the skin. I would skip it if you have sensitive skin or if youre making it for your baby. I love the recipe!! Im defs gonna be trying this!
Oil of oregano can be used as long as the amount is metered.
Just learned that the hard way, some kids were fine and others, including me, broke out.
This is mostly because people use trash, drugstore/Amazon essential oils. Try small amounts of a high quality essential oil if you’re wanting fragrance***
Use fruit smells add just a dab of it in
What can we use to add scent? I can't stand the idea of using scentless. The smell is the best part for me!
Very insightful, just got some questions:
1. How long do you wait for the oil to cool?
2.How long can you store the cream before it goes bad?
1. 2 hours (Could be longer if you didn’t have chunks and was completely melted)
2. Shea butter last 2 years when properly stored so it depends which oils you add to it

Does it harden or stay fluffy?
-Shea butter , cut it up so it’s easier to melt.
-heat up water for double boiler , don’t overheat or else when whipping it won’t whip properly
- add jojoba oil , coconut oil , vitamin e oil ,baobab seed oil , castor oil , essential oils ( you pick which ones u want :D )
-mix and freeze it for 25 mn
- take out freezer once you have a vaseline texture , whip until you get a whipped cream like texture ( about 5-15 min) all depends how thick it is

Thank you so much for this video love the recipe my skin loves butters! I get a distinct shine from Shea butter especially. Lotions nice but Butters are the holy grail!!!
I’ll definitely try this since I have such dry skin and I’m sure my skin will transform ❤️
love this one!! It’s best to make this kind of products at home! Thank you💘✨
SHEEEEEEEESHHHHH OMG!!!!! ITS THE CUT TO 5:30 FOR ME! RADIANNNNNNT!!!!!
I’ve been seeing a lot of people telling others to put their butter in the fridge first. How long do you let it sit/cool? Outside on the counter? Also, should it be twice as much oil than Shea butter? I made a butter but it was really thick 😫 wasn’t creamy like yours. I also noticed mine was very oily. And ruined some of my clothes. Idk what I’m doing wrong, too thick and oily LMAOO Thanks for sharing!!!!! Appreciate it ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much,i have been looking for the cream that will be good for my body but someone said I should try Shaa butter and coconut oil
Thank God I came across your video now I can add other oil like vitamin e oil thanks
Definitely have to start making my own body butter with orange oil. I can’t wait 😊. Thanks for sharing ❤️

!! sameeeeee sis xxx
Loved this. Happy to have found your channel. Thank you!
Your skin looks unbelievably gorgeous!!!! I need to find some of that Baobab oil stuff. Thanks
That looks so good. I should try it. Yummy. Yes we can see the glow.
How long does it keep for. And if you were to add a scented essential oil e.g. lavender, how much do you add?? Cheers. Defo trying this.
Hello!! I’ve been making a similar body butter for a year now and I usually make 12 ounces at a time, and for that amount I use aboutttt 20 drops of lavender oil! It usually gives the good scent plus the benefits of the lavender oil :) I have dry skin and share with my boyfriend and lasts us maybe 3 months? But I’m sure it doesn’t “expire” any time soon!
@@nikkimartin9628 can you tell me where you get your Shea from? Lol I keep checking for Rachel’s links but haven’t seen anything!
@@melloisyellow SORRRRY!! I thought i added, just have now xxxxx
Been waiting for this ever since you spoke about it in a previous video 😁

I'm like you beautiful, I never liked lotions at all🤭shea, mango and all organic butters are so wonderful for keeping a glistening and youthful skin
How long is it good for?
Your skin is so beautiful!
It's good to know I don't have to freeze it before whipping. Thank you.
I need to know how you manage your hair because it’s beautiful 😍
Hey Rachel! Thank you for your amazing recipes. Lots of love!! I tried making the body butter but didn't get the whipped cream texture. I'm not sure what I did wrong :( Perhaps could you share the exact measures that you used? Thanks so so much 😍
Hi Lucia, I'm not sure if you've tried to make this again but I've just made it and here is what I've found.
As Rachel said, let the Shea butter cool down a bit. I was really impatient but I found standing the bowl with melted Shea butter in another bowl with ice cold water in it really helped whilst I whipped it up. This helps the mixture to cool faster. You'll still have to whip it for 20 minutes or so but you'll definitely see it coming together.
Wear an apron! Also put down some paper or tea towels when you're whipping otherwise you'll get lots of splashes of mixture everywhere! Also make sure the bowl you're mixing in is quite deep as this will double in size AT LEAST!
Make sure you have enough containers to hold the finished butter. It will increase in size.
I added 2 capfuls of Castor Oil which was fine but maybe 1 or 1.5 would have been enough. For reference, I used 500g of solid Shea butter, 2 capfuls of castor oil with 20 drops of essential oil and it whipped up beautifully!
Good luck! 😊👍
@@LitPix1 Thank you for taking your time to answer. I really appreciate it. Lots of love!!
@@luciagalarza9666 No problem at all 😊
@@LitPix1 This is really helpful! I'm sure I would have been one of those 'impatient' ones. Now I know better🤣
@@afrilifewealth8743 Hahaha, you're more than welcome. I've learnt from my mistakes!
Rachel, will you please share your skin routine and products that you use on your face? Your face is beautiful!!! Thanks for sharing your Shea butter recipe!❤️
She has a skin routine video. I forgot the title of it though.
WOW your Skin is so Beautiful!
You are glowing I love it thanks.
Love your video but I was wondering how much shea butter and how much coconut oil do you use in the recipe please and thank you
It looks good, what is the shelf life for the butter?
I love how whipped yours looks
You look so pretty 😍 Mommy looks good on you...thx for the recipe 🤗
How do you keep your whipped butter from hardening? What do you put in it to keep it fluffy and soft? Thanks!
Hi Rachel, did you put the melted butter /oil in the frige? and if yes for how long
Natural vegan organic food and body care IS the best. I've been on this journey for 3 years. It's amazing! 🖤😇
What do you use on your face?? And how do you not get the butter/oil on your clothes? I always end up with some type of stain after i put it on lol
Thank you! Rachel Nice video. You can put these creams on the face safely enough; providing you don't use any oils that are heavily perfume type. Many shop bought cosmetic creams have lots of perfumes that shouldn't be used on the face.
I watched half of your video and already hooked. Just subscribed!💖
