Wed, June 17, 2009 at 3:00 PM Whipped Shea Butter Cream Deodorant
1/2 lb shea butter (make sure this is pure shea butter with no added fragrance or any other ingredients)
1 tsp baking soda
1 tbs non GMO corn starch
10 drops ginger essential oil
10 drops spearmint essential oil
10 drops lime essential oil
Directions: Melt shea butter in a microwave-safe glass measuring cup in the microwave until completely melted. Remove from microwave (careful, it's going to be hot). Let it sit for a few minutes and cool a bit. Add baking soda and corn starch and stir in with a small wire whisk. Stir until clumps of powder are completely broken up. Add essential oils and stir in.
Pour mixture in to a heat-safe bowl or container. Place in fridge to cool, stirring every half an hour to acheive a softer consistency. To acheive a whipped texture, use a hand mixer to stir formula right before it has solidified.
