Treat your skin to a luxurious, whipped Shea butter infused with the brightening benefits of Carrot oil. For extra fluffiness and nutrients, add Baobab oil. A touch of mica powder can give you that extra glow.
Why Add Carrot Oil?
- Glow Up: Carrot oil is packed with beta-carotene and vitamins, which help to even out and brighten your skin tone.
- Natural Radiance: Gives your skin a healthy, natural glow.
Why Add Baobab Oil? (Optional)
- Deep Moisturization: Baobab oil is full of vitamins and fatty acids, providing deep hydration.
- Extra Fluffiness: Makes the whipped texture even softer and creamier.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup raw Shea butter
- 1-2 tablespoons Carrot oil (adjust to your preference for color)
- 1/4 cup Baobab oil (optional)
- 10-15 drops of your favorite essential oil (e.g., lavender, chamomile, or sweet orange)
- 1/4 teaspoon mica powder (optional, for a shimmering effect)
What You’ll Need:
- An immersion blender (or a regular mixer)
Let’s Get Whipping!
-
Soften Up (Optional): If your Shea butter is very firm and you’re using a regular mixer, soften it slightly by placing it in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method) until it softens but doesn’t completely melt. If you have an immersion blender, you can skip this step.
-
Combine Ingredients: Place the softened Shea butter in a mixing bowl. Add the Carrot oil and Baobab oil (if using).
-
Whip It Up: Use your immersion blender (or regular mixer) to whip the mixture until it’s light, fluffy, and well-blended. This might take a few minutes, so be patient and enjoy the process!
-
Add Essential Oils and Mica Powder: Once your mixture is whipped, add 10-15 drops of your chosen essential oil(s) and the mica powder for a shimmering effect. Blend again briefly to incorporate everything.
-
Scoop and Store: Transfer your whipped Shea butter into a clean, airtight container. Store it in a cool, dry place, and it’s ready to use whenever you need a moisture boost.
Pro Tip: This whipped Shea butter with Carrot oil not only moisturizes and nourishes your skin but also gives it a beautiful, natural glow. Customize it with Baobab oil for added fluffiness and mica powder for a touch of shimmer. Both Shea butter and Carrot oil can be used on their own, giving you flexibility to experiment with the ratios and find what works best for your skin.
Enjoy your glowing, radiant, and beautifully scented whipped Shea butter with Carrot oil!
