What You’ll Need:
- 1 cup raw Shea butter
- An immersion blender
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.
-
Whip It Good: Place your room temperature Shea butter in a mixing bowl. Grab your immersion blender and whip the Shea butter until it’s light, fluffy, and dreamy. This might take a few minutes, so be patient and enjoy the process!
-
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: Whipping your Shea butter not only makes it easier to use but also enhances its luxurious feel. It’s a simple way to elevate your skincare routine with minimal effort. Plus, it's a wonderful, natural option for keeping your baby's skin soft and hydrated.
