whipped shea butter is a multi-purpose treatment that can be used for almost anything depending on
your skin care needs with its anti-inflammatory and emollient properties it's really well suited
to heal dry damaged and sensitive skin while also adding an excellent boost of moisture
we're starting this recipe off with coffee infused grape seed oil which i have been infusing for
around six weeks if you don't have the patience to wait that long for your oil to infuse don't worry
about it i'll link another video for infusing oil with a much shorter wait time down below
coffee has many benefits but one of my favorites would have to be its anti-inflammatory properties
and that means it's really effective at soothing skin conditions like eczema psoriasis and acne
it may seem to be counter-intuitive because coffee is a well-known stimulant but due to its chemical
makeup it also has the ability to calm and soothe the skin when it comes to infusing the coffee into
the oil you could use both whole coffee beans or ground coffee beans the only difference it makes
is the color of the oil at the end when you use ground coffee the oil turns into a beautiful
dark chocolate color which even diluted with shea butter it has a possibility to get on
white clothes whole coffee beans leave less of a rich color in the oil and it won't leave any
stain on white clothes i personally prefer to have a rich brown color because i don't
wear white at all and i enjoy the darker look of my shea butter because shea butter is extremely
soft and pliable using heat to melt it down first before whipping isn't actually necessary
the key to getting the shea butter to whip well is first chopping it into small pieces
and the ratio of shea butter to liquid oil is what dictates the feel of the butter
I'm using a ziploc bag that i snipped on one corner to transfer the shea butter into my clean
glass jar and i am gently tapping out the air in the container so that there
aren't any weird gaps the shea butter is going to last you around six months but
you have to take care of it properly so avoid storing it in the bathroom or any area where
there's too much moisture if water gets in the body butter it will get contaminated with
bacteria because this does not contain any broad spectrum preservatives that being said
if you store it in a cool dark place it will last six months without any issues
what's really nice about this whipped shea butter is that it melts immediately on contact and it
has a very soft cloud-like feel to it it also serves as an amazing aromatherapy session the
combination of tangerine and coffee smell so amazing especially when i use this fresh
out of the shower i use it mainly pretty much everywhere for everything except for on my curls
but i will mention although it does not work very well for styling my entire head of curls it works
amazing as a soft hold edge control to keep my baby hairs moisturized and neat for more
