So I won't quit buying Mad City Sue's products but I thought if she can do it so can I. So I thought I'd start with something simple and found this recipe online. I also found an online store that sells everything you need to make bath and body stuff. Here is the recipe. What do yall think?
1 and 1/3 Cups of Shea Butter
½ Cup of Olive Oil
1 tsp. Of Vitamin E Oil
½ ounce of fragrance oil*
You will want to heat the Shea Butter up slowly in a medium sized sauce pan until the Shea is in liquid form add in the olive oil onceyou achive liquid form of Shea Butter. Let the mixture then sit and cool for about 30 to 40 minutes. Do not let it set fully back up though. At this point you are going to add in the Vitamin E and the Fragrance Oil.
You will now want to use a stick blender to whip the mixture until its very light in texture. It will give off a "mousse" like consistency. Make sure you have blended your fragrance oil and vitamin E oil in well. When selecting your fragrance oil choose something you will like as this whipped bodybody delight.
When you have reached the desired consistency you can spoon your finished product into some kind of container. I have used everything from glass jars to glad containers. You can use any type of container as long as it has some sort of lid you will not want to expose this to air for long periods of time. Do not over pack the whipped body butter or you will defeat the purpose of it being whipped and light.
When choosing a fragrance oil. Its very important that you choose a fragrance oil that is safe for body and bath items. If you can not find anything locally you can skip putting this in. As the finished product will still smell good.
