Shea whipped cream to repair skin and hair
But then why transform such a complete ingredient?
Because shea butter still has one drawback: it is not easy to apply. Greasy, sticky (we expect no less from a butter), very solid, an unpleasant smell to some people's noses... In short, not ideal for a relaxing and cocooning routine!
Conversely, shea whipped cream is creamy and easy to apply. It is also less greasy to the touch, more penetrating and easier to rinse than raw butter. Finally, its smell is enhanced by that of vegetable and essential oils. Gone are the few inconveniences! Shea whipped cream is perfect for gently repairing your hair and skin.
Make your own shea whipped cream
Madam President is keen to make your life easier and is therefore giving you the recipe from Anjy, our super manager of business development. Tested and approved by the whole team!
What you will need:
- 4 tablespoons of shea butter
- 1 to 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil of your choice depending on your needs: castor, coconut, avocado, olive… They can all do the trick! You can even mix them for twice the benefits!
- (optional) 5 drops of the essential oil of your choice, depending on your needs and tastes. Tea tree, peppermint, lavender... You will benefit from its benefits, but also from its smell: find yourself in Provence or in a field of orange trees without leaving your home!
- a whisk, preferably electric (or a little elbow grease)
Let's get started!
- To make mixing easier, melt 2 tablespoons of shea butter in the microwave or in a saucepan.
- In a container, beat the melted butter and the solid butter with an electric whisk for at least 10 minutes to obtain a homogeneous mixture.
