shea butter cream

[moonlight mom]

A while back I saw a recipe on this forum for a shea butter body cream. I cannot find it through the search function and was hoping someone could post a recipe for a body cream with shea butter. I just bought 2 jars and I am excited to make something with it!
Thanks

I don't have a recipe, but MDC did some work on the boards recently and now there is a Green Forum. I'll bet someone might know there. Good luck!

Go ahead and melt the shea down in a double boiler with some oil (something good for the skin like grapeseed, safflower, sweet almond, etc.) at a rate of about 60% shea butter and 40% oil.
Then just whip it up! It helps to whip, put in the freezer for a few minutes, whip, etc. or you can just set it the bowl in an ice water bath and whip. It'll eventually get to the consistency of frosting, then you've got it!
You'll want to add your fragrance before you whip it.
