DIY Whipped Shea Butter in your kitchen




Whipped shea butters are most naturalistas delight. They are preferred for use to raw butters because they are soft and easier to apply. I have been using whipped butter from Nature and Nurture hair clinic and it has been pretty good. I ❤ it. But l got an excess supply of pure raw shea butter and felt like it time to visit the lab, lol. So today, we shall be making whipped shea butter.

For your DIY whipped butter, make sure to get original, unrefined raw shea butter. Original pure unrefined are best sourced from reputable stockist. There are a handful of them you can trust.  Click on the links below to see them

Now to make your whipped butter, wash your hands and dry. Get clean measuring cup, spoon, electric mixer/handmixer. I will advice you get a handmixer than stress your self doing the hand thing. If you want affordable electric mixers, check out  Here for affordable ones .

Place a small quantity of water in a pot and boil.

Turn off the heat and place a bowl of 1/2 cup of shea butter over the bolied water.

Watch it melt. You can stir with fork to quicken the melting process. Be careful not to overheat so as not to lose its natural beneficial properties.

Take down the bowl from the pot of boiled water.


 Leave it to cool. It took more time that I presumed it should. So I placed it in the refrigerator to cool a bit but was careful to take it out at the right time.


Next, add 1 tablespoons of coconut oil and 2 tablespoons of castor oil/olive oil.
Then begin to whip whip whip till it turns cream and fluffy. Yes, you are looking at your whipped butter.

If you choose to make whipped shea butter without oils, that is alright. lt will still turn out soft and creamy. lt is the whipping process that turns it soft and creamy.


To retain its full natural nutrients of the shea butter, you can mix with your oils in the unmelted form. lt might take longer time to get fluffy and much more longer time when whisking with hand. But the unmelted method is a better option when you want your nutrients intact.

Your whipped shea butter is a multi purpose product. lt can be used and body cream free from chemicals , hair moisturiser, frizz tamer, hair detangler, prestyler, hair growth leave-in conditioner and more.

It can last for more than 6 months. And can last longer when you keep it in the refrigerator.
