About this deal

Shea butter is one of my favorite butters to use in lotion and soap making. I buy it in bulk, I like it that much! Clean out as much lotion from the bowl and beaters as you can with a spatula. I then use my finger to scrape as much as I can into a container. I rub a bunch on my body in the kitchen and on my kids if they happen to walk by. I'm usually well moisturized after a lotion making session. I use up the rest of the scraped out lotion over the next few days. It's amazing how much lotion you can get off the beaters. Don't waste it. Making homemade lotion and whipped body butter is so easy and doesn’t require any special equipment. It is as easy as melting a few ingredients together, allowing them to cool, whipping it up with a hand mixer, and transferring it to an airtight container.

Put the whipped lotion in your pastry bag, and attach your favorite tip. Pipe the lotion into your container. It’s love at first sight with this DIY shea butter lotion recipe. Shea butter effortlessly soothes dry skin without the greasy feeling. I get almost instant relief for my dry, irritated skin – all without the unknown ingredients in store-bought lotion. Like magic, the texture of the lotion will change. The lotion will change from a mushy mess to the consistency of whipped buttercream. The longer it cools the harder it will get. If you're going to pipe it, do it immediately. Don't wait an hour for your favorite show to be over.

I use a handheld mixer but you could use a kitchen aid mixer for a more hands-off approach. I just whip the shea butter in the same bowl I heated it in. It means fewer dishes.

I loved all of my homemade lotions as they left my skin so soft and moisturized, but they were a bit oily. Adding in the arrowroot powder will help with that! Before whipping the lotion to make it light and fluffy, try adding a small amount of arrowroot powder to make the perfect homemade lotion. Shea butter lotion has so many great benefits for the skin and will only cost a few cents per each use. Making your own organic skincare is definitely the most cost-efficient option. And of course, you will know it is made with the purest ingredients that will leave your skin soft and smooth. You can get fancy and mix things up. I like to give shea butter lotion as a gift. Piping the lotion takes the presentation up a notch. Sterilize all your equipment with boiling water or run them through the dishwasher. You need to sterilize the lotion container you’ll be using too. I could go on and on telling you shea butter is amazing. How well it moisturizes my skin when regular lotion falls short. How it absorbs into my skin leaving only soft skin behind…. n o greasy feeling.

Lodén M, et al. (1996). Effects of topically applied lipids onsurfactant-irritated skin [Abstract]. Lotion absorbs slowly and leaves a greasy feeling. Still a great product, better than store-bought stuff. But disappointing. Fodouop SPC, et al. (2017). Effects of Vitellariaparadoxa (C.F.

Topical management of striae distensae (stretch marks): Prevention andtherapy of striae rubrae and albae. DOI: Once you melt the shea butter, let the mixture cool. It may take a few hours at room temperature. If you put it in the fridge to cool, set a timer. Or you'll wait too long and have to melt the shea butter all over again. I should know, I've done it a few times!

Lotion is so easy to make and much healthier for your skin. This homemade shea butter lotion recipe is non-greasy, cost-efficient, and extremely moisturizing for dry skin. With just a few ingredients, you can whip up this simple shea butter lotion in no time. If you are using essential oils, be sure to dilute further if making this recipe for a child by cutting the number of oils in half. Micali G, et al. (2018).

And if you mess up and the lotion seems too soft add ½ teaspoon of cornstarch to firm it up. Or more melted shea butter. Only do this if you’re still in the whipping process.
