Beauty By Shea/Hydracentials Raw Organic Unfiltered Shea Butter Makes Beautiful Body Butters

I had not used raw shea butter before, but wanted to try my hand at some body butters. I found a number of recipes online and after reading them all decided to make one of my own. There are numerous questions about how to make a body butter. Most recipes say to melt the shea butter, but that could lead to graininess. I decided that I would just use room temperature raw shea butter and go from there. So this is the recipe I came up with:
4 oz. room temperature Beauty By Shea Raw Organic Unfiltered Shea Butter, mash this up in a bowl with a spoon
2 tablespoons base oil (I used fractionated coconut oil for this), mash this in
10-20 drops of essential oil, mash this in
Then break out those arm muscles and rapidly stir with a spoon until it starts to resemble whipped edible butter. This did not take long, perhaps a minute or two.

The result was perfection. I should have added a bit more essential oil, but the body butter was gorgeous. I put it into small containers. One of these I took to a friend who is recovering from surgery. Her skin had gotten so dry and flakey in the hospital and at home. I rubbed this body butter onto her skin and it immediately penetrated and I could see that it removed all the flakes and rehydrated the skin, without being greasy. I definitely recommend this Shea Butter from Beauty By Shea. I am a novice at making things like this and was so pleased that it worked perfectly the first time out, even though I had made up my own recipe. This Shea Butter is easy to measure and easy to work with. While your results may not be identical to mine (I think some body butters may be more difficult than others and may be affected by your weather, humidity, and temperature), I do believe you, too, can make your own body butter for a fraction of the cost of the "department store" brands.
