Shea Body Butter

80% Unrefined Shea Butter
19% Oil of choice
1% Vit E
Fragrance of choice

Weigh your butter and oils into a plastic bowl. Place in the microwave and heat in 30 second intervals. You do not want it melted, only softened. I have found that using a whisk type blender is best. When your butter is soft, you may begin mixing with your blender of choice, starting on low to incorporate your butter and oils together. When that is completed you may now pick up speed and let it whip. When using unrefined shea butter, you will notice that it will turn a dark green in color, as it whips and gets airy.. it will turn a very light cream color. When you butter has the look of whipped egg whites and is starting to peak, add your fragrance of choice. I have found it is best to stop your mixer to do this, mix it by hand for a minute.. then turn your mixer on high and whip it up real good to mix in the fragrance. Contributed by Mary - Leonard, MI
