All Natural Whipped Shea Body Butter

Skip intro and go directly to Order Shea Butter!

The ultimate all natural moisturizing treat for your skin, our light and fluffy Whipped Shea Body Butter is made using the highest quality, naturally extracted, unrefined organic shea butter available to provide you with the ultimate in skin conditioning.  We do not use refined Shea Butter because the refining process strips the Shea of its many healing qualities.

Our Shea Butter Mousse begins with 90% of the finest unrefined organic African Shea butter.  Then we add calendula infused grapeseed and macadamia nut oils, jojoba oil, mowrah butter, wheat germ butter, wheat germ oil, and vitamin E.   It is then whipped for hours into a luxurious cream with a light, silky smooth texture that melts into your skin, creating an intensive moisturizing treat to pamper the body’s largest organ – your skin.


Our whipped shea is not a lotion--it is a body butter cream.  Lotions have a very high water content. Once water is added to make a lotion, it is almost impossible to create an all natural product and still keep the bacteria and mold out.  That is why we make body butters and solid lotion bars--no need for chemical preservatives

This rich and creamy all natural cream is very concentrated, so a little goes a long way.  Apply less than you think you need and you will be surprised at how far a little dab will go.   It may feel a bit greasy at first, but it melts on contact with your skin and is easily absorbed leaving your skin feeling ultra soft and supple. Apply to your entire body as needed throughout the day.  It is especially effective if used when your skin is still warm and damp after bathing or showering.

Our Whipped Shea Body Butter is the perfect natural creamy treat for all your dry skin places - face, hands, feet, cuticles, lips, legs, elbows, stretch marks--any part that needs a bit of TLC.  It is great for sun exposed skin in the summer and a necessity in winter since it provides the moisture that the winter wind and indoor heating take away. 

Tell your significant other that it makes a wonderful massage cream too!
For extra moisture retention, use immediately after your bath or shower!

**We apologize to our Patchouli patrons, but the cost of Patchouli Essential oil has increased over 400% due to crop  damage.  As a result, you will see a (hopefully) temporary price increase in our products that contain patchouli..

Our customers who use our All Natural Whipped Shea as their total body moisturizer
have requested this larger size of our fabulous butter. 

  • Please remember that a little goes a long way.  I do not usually need a body moisturizer and use the whipped shea as my facial moisturizer.  Depending on the season, the .05 ounce size can last me a month or two.
  • It is best to apply a little bit of the body butter to see how much is absorbed by your skin, and if necessary apply a little more. You will soon be able to judge the amount your skin type needs.

Our natural whipped shea has no synthetic stabilizers or preservatives
and therefore is a very delicate cream. 

  • Each time you place your warm fingers into the jar, you melt some of the butter and over a period of time this will change the whipped consistency of the butter.
  • Also, your fingers are a source of contaminants. 
  • Please use a small spoon, cosmetic spatula, or craft stick to remove the butter from the jar--especially if you are buying the larger sizes to use over a long period of time, .

Please store our body butter away from heat.

**All whipped shea butters are not created equal!**

High quality, naturally extracted, unrefined organic shea butter can be twice as
expensive as the processed refined cosmetic grade shea.  
Be sure that the product you are purchasing lists ALL of the ingredients. 
Beware of products that claim to offer the benefits of shea butter but only contain
a hint of shea mixed with many other cheaper ingredients.  

This is an all natural product made with the care you have come to expect
from Chagrin Valley Soap & Craft!

 
I can't believe how wonderful your whipped shea butter mousse is!  I had a really bad crack on my finger which was bleeding due to eczema so I put your mousse on it at night and the next morning the swelling was totally gone and the crack was healed, I couldn't believe it!  Well...later I got a really bad cold and my nose was just sooo raw from blowing and wiping  so I decided to test your mousse once more and I put it on my nose before bed and the next morning.....no pain!!!  May God bless you and your family, keep those all natural products going!

I love your whipped shea mousse!  It's a great skin moisturizer -- but best of all, it's great for my hair!  I usually apply a little to my ends before going to bed -- then I place my hair into a high bun before going to sleep.  In the morning, my hair is so soft!  :D

*Amazing!  I LOVE your soaps!  I have been using the whipped shea body butter after my bath on my hands and feet (in place of lotion) and I no longer need to re-apply many times throughout the day.  Regular lotion is drying and addictive and, thanks to you, I am no longer a victim of that vicious cycle!

I've been using the whipped shea like mad!  I use it on my face, all other dry spots and even my hair.  It is my work horse moisturizer.  Good stuff!

All Natural Ingredients

Virgin Organic Shea Butter: promotes skin cell growth, aids in skin elasticity, provides natural protection from harmful UV rays, helps heal eczema, burns, aids in stretch mark prevention, and soothes dry, cracked skin.  Read more about the Benefits of Shea Butter.

Calendula Infused Grapeseed Oil:
very rich in vitamins, minerals and linoleic acid.  A very light and penetrating oil often used for massage.  It is a gentle emollient, leaving the skin with a soft, satin finish.  We infuse the grapeseed oil with skin-loving calendula which helps promote wound healing, decreases inflammation and moisturizes dry mature skin.

Calendula Infused Macadamia Nut Oil: a luxurious oil that easily absorbs into the skin and acts as an emollient moisturizing your skin cells.   Since it is believed to be an antioxidant, protecting cell membranes from deterioration, it is great for dry and ageing skin.  Its high palmitoleic acid content protects the skin just like human sebum--no other known plant oil has a similar composition.  It penetrates quickly and hydrates the skin .  Infused with skin-loving calendula which helps promote wound healing, decreases inflammation and moisturizes dry mature skin. 


Morwah Butter
is a very emollient butter obtained from the seeds of the Madhuca (or Butter) tree native to central India.  In India, the butter has both cosmetic and edible uses.  Morwah butter is soft solid at room temperature and melts immediately upon contact with your skin.  It is known to reduce the degeneration of skin cells, prevent wrinkles and restore skin elasticity.  We love how it feels on the skin!


Jojoba Oil:
chemically a waxy ester that is derived from a desert plant, jojoba is smooth and non-greasy.  Of all oils it is closest to our skin’s natural sebum. It is balancing and soothing and is known for its anti-wrinkle properties.

Vitamin E (Tocopherol): a powerful antioxidant and cell regenerator to protect and repair the cells and may be helpful in preventing environmental aging.

Wheat Germ Oil is extracted from the germ (fertile part) of the wheat seed.  High in Vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, B6, and E, as well as phosphorus, zinc, iron, sulphur, potassium, carotene and vegetable lecithin, wheat germ oil is  a highly nutritive ingredient in skin care products.  It soothes and nourishes irritated skin and may be helpful with eczema.   It is particularly high in vitamin E, a natural antioxidant, which is believed to promote skin elasticity, nourish skin cells, and prevent moisture loss resulting in smoother, younger looking skin.  Mature skin, in particular, will benefit from wheat germ oil.

Cornstarch soothes irritated skin and some believe that it has healing properties.  It helps give skin a fresh, dry feeling , and leaves it feeling silky and smooth.   Cornstarch helps to cut the oiliness and adds silkiness to our natural body butters.  Our cornstarch is 100% pure cornstarch made from non-genetically modified corn.

Shelf Life:  Our whipped shea is a preservative free product.   It is made in very small batches using the freshest Virgin Shea Butter available.  If stored away from heat it has a shelf life of about three to four months.  Please keep the jar lid tightly sealed.  When you touch any product with your fingers,  bacteria, mold, etc. from your skin will be transferred to that item.  A little goes a long way--this is why our all natural Whipped Shea Butter is packaged in small containers--to keep it fresher longer. 
If you live in a warm, humid climate, make sure to keep your shea butter in a cool, dry place.  Do not leave this product in a hot environment, it will melt.  Keep the Whipped Shea Butter away from direct sunlight, heaters, and the inside of your vehicle during warm and sunny weather.  Our whipped shea is a pure and delicate product.  We do not use emulsifiers or stabalizers.  If it gets too soft or melts, stir it up and place it in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes.  The whipped consistency will change, but it  will not affect the quality of the product.  

                 ALL NATURAL MOISTURIZER!
Our whipped shea butter is an all natural preservative free product Our Shea Butter does NOT contain petroleum based chemicals (Mineral Oil, Petrolatum, Paraffin), chemical emulsifiers (DEA, MEA, TEA), chemical preservatives (Parabens, Urea),  Propylene Glycol, artificial colors, stabalizers, or synthetic fragrances. 

Summer Shipping: Shea butter has a low melting point.   If shipped during warm weather, the product may melt.   If melting at any time occurs, simply place the shea butter in a cool place and it will harden up.  The melting will not affect the quality of the shea as a great moisturizer, but the whipped consistency will change. 
 


 

Whipping adds tiny air bubbles that increase the size, lighten the density and changes the texture, making the butter light and fluffy.  If the product melts, the air bubbles are collapsed, so the volume is decreased.  So although the jar was filled with whipped cocoa butter, if the whipped butter melts, there will be less volume in the container.   Commercial companies add synthetic stabilizers to creams which helps them stay creamy even with temperature changes.  We do not use synthetic stabilizers. 

We package our Whipped Shea in double walled jars and wrap our jars in bubble wrap.  We have been pretty lucky so far--but please remember this when ordering in hot weather!

 

ALLERGY ALERT:  Shea butter contains natural latex.  Although it is not exactly the same as the sap-like latex extract from the Rubber Tree (Hevea brasiliensis),  it is very similar in chemical composition.  Although the quantities of latex in shea butter are small, this natural latex is responsible for the sealing property that shea butter has that may aid in protecting your skin and preventing sun allergies.

Persons suffering from latex allergies should do an allergy Patch Test before using any shea butter product.  Many people with latex allergies are not affected by shea butter, but some are, so it is better to be safe than sorry!
