The Easiest Shea Butter Lotion Recipe | ONLY 3-INGREDIENTS

[@inkypanda2779]

I am so thankful to have seen your video. My hands were damaged by hand santizer. The skin got hard and leathery then blood started to ooze out. I tried everything and it didnt work. Finally i watched your video and made a batch The shea butter is amazing. A month in using it my hand has completely healed. I did exfoliate some of dead cells on my hands after it healed to aid in the process. I am just so thankful to have my hands back to normal and it is now so smooth.

[@justignorethis4168]

Been using this for a good 3 months and its really good and not oily maybe bc i put more tablespoons to my taste which is what I want. I used cornstarch as its locally everywhere. This is a really simple video and as someone who doesnt want to use products with the term “fragrance” which even tho the US regulates there are still chemicals that can affect the body such as becoming infertile, and usually those are banned in other countries. So knowing whats in the things I use is important to me.

[@ouroilyhouse]

So glad you like this!

[@joannedavies9235]

Hi. Do you use cornstarch in the same way that arrowroot was used in this recipe? I don't have any arrowroot but I do have cornstarch

[@capt.flamingo1828]

@@joannedavies9235 yes it can be used the same way

I bought a melting pot that plugs in and am making this lotion right now. I’m so excited to fill personal size small jars for my friends for Christmas! I even fill a larger one for myself to keep by the bed for my feet. Super soft when I wake up! 😊

@@ouroilyhouse even though it doesn't have water incorporated it's better to be safe then sorry and go ahead and add a preservatives in the event that moisture does accrue.....there are natural preservatives such as Optiphen,GeoGuard few others can't think of all of them at the moment..honey is also a preservative..course as always I recommend people do their own research....looks like a awesome body butter! Benzoin is also great for blemishes and rashes,heard hemp oil as well....all a matter of experimenting!

[@chitrangadasamal5605]

Thank you ​@@ouroilyhouse

[@insynkfg]

Great info. I made my first batch, and this lotion is SO much better than commercial products. I have lymphedema in my legs, and my skin is very sensitive and prone to infection. Lots of soaps, creams and Epsom salt give me rashes and makes my skin itch. Someone at my local health food store recommended that I try making my own lotion with shea butter, and this video was the absolute best I found. So often when I try DIY home remedies, they don't work, but these instructions are SPOT ON!

[@ouroilyhouse]

I'm so glad!!!

[@pjs276favorites]

I'm so glad you made this! All the other video's I seen used "emulsifying wax", and I really don't want to put anything that is not natural in my lotion. Thanks again! I'll have to check out more of your videos!

[@ouroilyhouse]

Thank you so much!

[@KathleenEdge]

Would beeswax work?

[@lindasmith6847]

Face and body cream. Use a double boiler using a glass bowl. Add 3/4 x cup of shea butter (cubed about 6 cubes) and 1/4 x cup coconut oil, melt down over boiling water. Pop bowl in freezer 20x mins to firm but not solid, check you can press your thumb in. Add 10x drops vit E oil and 10 x drops lavender oil, add one or two tablespoons of arrow root powder (sprinkle in) then whip up (whisk) to a smooth, light texture. STORE IN AN AIR TIGHT GLASS CONTAINER (a mason jar is good)

[@jthomas332]

As a soapmaker I have these ingredients so thought I'd have a go at making this lovely looking lotion. Unfortunately it's still very oily despite the arrowroot, and even doubling it didn't noticeably decrease the oily nature of the lotion. I love every other aspect of the lotion however; the simplicity, natural ingredients and options to scent to own preference.

[@tilllindemann6745]

I have the same problem. It is so greasy I can't use it. I have oily skin so it feels awful on me. Which is unfortunate because I got some excellent ingredients I wanted to use in it.

[@nm9412]

Add more butter and more arrowroot to make it less greasy. Be careful not to put too much arrowroot, it becomes grainy.

[@SaystheTruth3]

I personally omit the coconut oil & it comes out perfectly 🙂

[@thereviewer2939]

Of course it's extremly greasy: it's made out of all oils. The coconut oil isn't all that great for anything except feet and legs - and never on the face, as it is a good way to get clogged pores and acne of all types. (not on back, shoulders, etc, either, for anyone who has gotten acne in the past).

I’m going to make this today I don’t have coconut oil. I will try almond oil.

Almond oil won't work as coconut oil solidifies and almond oil stays liquid.

Coconut oil has one of the highest comedogenic ratings, which means it is not easily absorbed by the skin. Best to use an oil like grape seed, olive, jojoba, or sweet almond.

[@youneverseeanoldmaneatinga7416]

Without coconut oil it will be too runny. Coconut oil helps it to solidify.

Using some cocoa butter or mango butter will make the product solidify.
