This whipped shea body butter recipe is great if you are out of beeswax. It can be done in your kitchen for less than 20 minutes.
Shea Butter comes from the nut of the African shea tree and has many benefits for the skin and is naturally rich in Vitamins A, E, and F, as well as a number of other vitamins and minerals.
Vitamins A and E help to soothe, hydrate, and balance the skin. They also provide skin collagen which assists with wrinkles and other signs of ageing. Vitamin F contains essential fatty acids, and helps protect and revitalize damaged skin and hair.
I’ve also used organic camellia seed oil which is light, not greasy, absorbs easily, has barely any scent but it is emollient, anti-aging, astringent. It is also very rich in oleic acid and vitamins A, B, D and E as well as Omega 3, 6 and 9
The last ingredients I have used is mango butter comes from the tropical mango tree and is cold-pressed from the seeds of the mango fruit. The benefits of mango butter are numerous but it is great to treats and moisturizes dry, ashy, sensitive and rough skin. Plus it is a natural source of vitamin A,C and E and it helps to protect against UV rays.
This body butter recipe is an intense moisturizer and is wonderful for revitalizing dull or dry skin on the body or even scalp.
Try this all natural and simple whipped body butter recipe right in your kitchen!

Well I read the recipe wrong and used 12 tbsp of mango butter and 2 of Shea Anyway, it turned out really well and is great for a night time body moisturiser for my very dry skin. I used Neuroli essential oil and it smells divine.
Hi Eve, I made the whipped body butter…..is it possible to whip it up to much and it gets hard? Mine is not soft and fluffy anymore. Thank you
Hey,
I ordered stuff as a beginner and ordered “mango butter” and the other 2 ingredients to make body cream and received 2 types of Shea butter from the link. Is this an error? Just curious. Thanks for your time!!!
Hi Eve, thank you very much for all the wonderful info. I am so grateful that I found your website. I notice that you give the volume of the ingredients in your recipes. However, I like weighing because it is more accurate for me, and not so many utensils to wash afterwards. Do you perhaps have the mass vs volume ratios of the ingredients?
I too like to weigh the ingredients, in grams, much more precise.
Hi Eve, Can you tell the percentage of shea butter, mango butter and organic camelia seed oil for this recipe. I dont want to yield 10 oz but lesser
Hi Eve, this recipe looks perfect!!! I am wondering if you have any body butter, foot cream, or healing salve recipes made with cocoa butter. My skin loves cocoa butter but when I tried a recipe it was too hard and turned gritty.
Hi Eve!
I noticed that in your recipes it mentions to put body butter in a glass container. Can plastic containers be used as well?
Author
yes, but by using plastic you may end up having BPA leaching into your body butter which is not safe.
Glass is a much better option, can be reused over and over and also will not leak if you use essential oils.
Hi eve.can i substitute rosehip oil or rose geranium oil or chamomile oil for camelia seed oil?if so which one of them works best for me as i have oily sensitive skin?and if it changes the texture can u plz tell me what should i do after the texture is changed?should i whip more?how long?tnx

Hi Eve! You have a great blog! What is a good substitution for mango butter in this recipe?
Thanks on advance!
Author
Hi Tori! avocado butter or shea butter could be used as the substitution but it will change the constitution of the recipe.
Hi eve! I loved your recipe and it worked like a dream… but I live in India, and if I leave it outside, it melts again in a few hours… it doesn’t seem to stay fluffy. Your help is much appreciated! Thank you once again!
Author
Thanks Megha, you have to avoid leaving it in the sun, otherwise yes it will melt!
Hi Eve,
i just discovered your site! i love your page. thank you for the amazing recipes. I live in Belgium and was interested to start a small batch handmade company. Can you help me with the wholesale supplier for oils and fragrances ? I find a lot in USA but would be interested in wholes in Europe due to extra costs.
Thanks for your help.

Hi Arash, thanks for your kind words! I suggest you go on amazon https://amzn.to/2M6uZrg or also aroma zone is a company from France that I really like!
Keep in mind fragrances are synthetic and chemicals, best to avoid them ans stick to natural 100% essential oils.
Thanks Eve for your help.
I have a 2 questions:
I am making a dry mask and have the following ingredients:
Kaolinite (moroccan red clay)
Bentonite
Solum fullonum
Ylang ylang ess oil
Can you help with the formula?
and further trying to create a hydrating body oil:
I have: grapeseed oil
rosehip seed oil
jojoba oil
sweet almond oil
avocado oil
primrose oil
ylang ylang oil
geranium oil
blood orange oil
frankincense oil
Same question, or if you think that I can use other oils?
Thanks a lot
Author
Hi Arash, I would need to try on my end before recommending a formula but you can always create a recipe on your end.
Just make sure you don’t add more than 2% dilution of essential oils.
Hello from Greece!!!!! If i buy from Amazon did they send you the certificate of the product? Thank you
Author
Hi agapi, Greece is one of my favorite country 🙂 Not sure what you mean about the certificate of the product!
Hi again Eve!
We’ve been using your cocoa butter lotion recipe for a long time now, and loving it! We modified it into a cream, thicker…
Anyway, wanted to ask you what is the difference between refined and unrefined shea butter? I actually bought unrefined shea butter, thinking it is more natural and better for body, but i’ve seen up there u used refined one.
Cheers
Sava
Author
I like unrefined because it does not have the smell that raw shea butter has. But in terms of properties, it is always better to use the raw product.
Please feel free to share the recipe on our facebook group, would love to hear about it! https://www.facebook.com/groups/organicbeautyrecipescommunity/
Hello Eva. Good job you doing here. Pls I need recipes for all skin care products.thank you
Hi there. Just made my first Whipped Shea Butter recipe and it didn’t work. I used exactly the ingredients you said and followed the instructions to the letter. After freezing 5 minutes then whisking it just wouldn’t turn into your smooth cream. Seemed like too much oil. Where did I go wrong?
Author
Hi sandra, you have to wait until the oils starts to freeze so become solid like a wax but not hard rock. So depending on the temperature of the oils and the temperature of your freezer, you may have to keep it longer. Check every 5 minutes if its is the right consistency before you start whipping.
May take anywhere from 5 to 20 minutes. This recipe https://www.organic-beauty-recipes.com/coconut-oil-body-butter-recipe/ has more info step by step with photos. Hope this helps!
Hi,loved all your recipes. Thanks. Just wanted to ask can I use aleo vera gel for body butters.
Author
Hi Kavya, thanks for your kind words. You can use aloe vera but the shelf life will decrease significantly (a few weeks) and you will need t keep your body butter in the fridge.
Hi! I am making products for friends and family and was wondering if this applies to All Aloe products, like an Organic Oil, or just the Gel? Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge and experience with so many. It is a great Blessing!
Hi Eve, Thanks for your amazing recipes! Can you also give your fave links to find the shea & mango butters and the camelia oil? Thx so much… ;0)

Hello, Eve,
My name is Jan – I would like to ask you a question about your pink Himalyain salt goat milk soap- how did you get your bar so white when the goat milk soap base is glycerin and much more transparent?
I went to the store today specifically to purchase some pink salt to make some – I just loved your top three melt and pour goal milk soap recipes !
Thanks and let me know,
Jan
Author
HI Jan, thanks for your kind words, much appreciated! The glycerin melt and pour I use has titanum dioxyde so it is white: https://www.organic-beauty-recipes.com/goat_milk_soap_base – I get mine on amazon.
Hi!! Could you please let me know some places where you get your containers!! All I have are plastic bags! Haha
Thanks You Gianna

Hi there, can I use Grape Seed oil instead of Camelia? I do not have any of that on hand. I want to make a lot of this as Christmas gifts. And thank you for the recipe.
Author
HI Jeri, you are welcome and yes you can switch grape seed oil instead of camelia!
May I know if there is another oil to replace camelia seed oil? Thanks.
Author
yes, any liquid oil would work: jojoba oil, sunflower oil, almond oil, grape seed oil… it would not be the exact same texture since each oil has its own properties, constituency and absorption on the skin.
I have a problem I need your help with. I make a natural body cream using shea butter, cocoa butter, coconut oil, almond oil and lavender essential oil for myself and a friends. However, some friends have reported that the cream is drying out the skin on their legs and feet and I don’t understand why this is happening since all these oils are great moisturizers. Your advise on this will be highly appreciated.
Author
Hi Beatrice,
For your friends that have dry skin, you could try making them a cream instead of a butter.
A cream has a higher water content (hydrosol like lavender hydrosol or aloe vera) and will help with moisture. Take the ratio of this cream for example: https://www.organic-beauty-recipes.com/body-cream-recipe-with-beeswax/ its about 20% hydrosol and will help hydrate the skin!
