I would not ever recommend “unrefined” shea butter. It tends to go rancid in a very short period of time, regardless of where you purchase it. I’ve made my own face cream for 25+ years. “Refined” shea butter is one ingredient. It’s nearly odorless and very stable.

This looks really easy to make! I’ve never thought of making this myself before. I’ll have to give it a try!

In reply to Shiney. Apparently, soy wax can be substituted in place of beeswax. I just googled this, so I can't speak to how it will change the recipe :)

In reply to GP.

You can compare another recipe I have for a whipped body butter. You’re correct, though- basically, you just need to reduce the amount of beeswax compared to the shea butter/cocoa butter that you’re using as the base. https://foodfunfamily.com/chocolate-body-butter/

In reply to Tara J. Brady. I wouldn't use coconut oil or cocoa butter for your face. They both have high comedogenic ratings. Shea and mango are better for your face :)

Best recipe for lotion bars! Wondering how to make this also into a lotion? Would using less beeswax work so that it would not setup into as hard of a bar? Would like to use the same ing. Thank you!

In reply to Tara J. Brady. I use both cocoa butter and shea butter. No big preference on my part. I like them both and think that they can be used pretty interchangeably.
