250g Organic Shea Butter Unrefined, 10 May 2012

I buy this shea butter from this supplier on a regular basis. I use it to as a base to make a lovely natural face cream not only for myself but my friends also. For those of you that are put off by it's smell and substance the 'Unrefined' part is the key. (It is the real deal, nothing fake just in it's natural state)
to make about 150ml of cream you need to use approximatley 125g of shea butter, this needs to be melted down very slowly so as not to damage the quality of the butter. I use the same method to melt mine as you would to melt chocolate. after a few minuites it will have turned into an oil substance. At this point you can add whatever your skin desires,such as, a table spoon off Grape seed oil this is especially useful for people with oily skin or macademina nut oil which is great for aging skin, some of my other favs are Almond oil and jojoba oil (for a better quality cream go for cold pressed oils) you can also mix and match your oils to suit.I then add a few drops of essential oils such as rose essential oil, however, this product can be a little pricey so I opt for something simple such as Cedarwood oil (again it is personal preference). Once at this stage you will need an electric hand whisk and yes you guessed it, get whisking. it also needs to be cooled so I whisk mine for 5 mins then put in the fridge for 5 mins and keep doing this until you have a nice thick cream that looks good enough to eat. transfer into 30ml tubs and enjoy.
Oh and you should find that the scent becomes more favourable depending on the essential oils used.
