Whipped shea butter using just THREE ingredients - how to video to show the process of whipped shea butter. Whipped shea butter make a very moisturising cream for dry and sensitive skin. Whipped body butters often do not contain any water and preservatives which reduces irritation to the skin. Whipped body butter is often mixed with a soft oil to smooth the consistency and make it easier to spread over the skin. The down side to the body butters is that some people may find the texture to be too thick and oily. One way to reduce the oily texture is to add a type of starch to absorb the oils - corn starch or arrowroot powder is often used.
