Directions

Step 1

Into heat-safe pan or double boiler, add entire bag of shea butter.

Step 2

On stove, heat butter on low until completely melted. Immediately place in refrigerator to cool for approximately 1 hour. This is done to remove any graininess in the shea butter.

Step 3

Remove bowl from refrigerator. Transfer product to large mixing bowl.

Step 4

Add Apricot Kernel Oil, Meadowfoam Seed Oil and Jojoba Oil. Stir slightly with a spatula or large spoon.

Step 5

Using hand mixer or Kitchen-Aid, begin to mix on low until oils have somewhat incorporated. Once these have blended, raise speed to medium, scraping sides of bowl occasionally.

Step 6

Mix for about 10 minutes on medium-high.

Step 7

To plastic beaker, mix fragrance with vanilla color stabilizer. Let sit for 2 minutes.

Step 8

To whipped product, add 3 Tablespoons of Slick Fix Powder and fragrance mixture.

Step 9

Mix again on low, then raise speed to medium-high for another 10 minutes.

Step 10

With this last 10 minutes, you will see the product thicken and get to a fluffy, whippy consistency.

Step 11

Turn off mixer. Product will thicken even more if left to sit for about a half hour.

Step 12

Take approximately 11 oz. of mousse out of the bowl and add to a smaller bowl. Add 1/2 tsp. of French Silk Stocking Mica Powder and stir gently to blend. Add more color if a darker shade is desired.

Step 13

To fill jars, place white lotion into a piping bag or a zip lock bag, cutting the tip off for filling.

Step 14

Fill each jar to 2 oz. by weight by piping the lotion around the inside of the jar.

Step 15

Fill another piping bag or zip close bag with the pink lotion. Pipe 1 oz. of this on top of the white lotion filling each jar with 3 oz. total by weight.

Step 16

Apply silver lids to the jars.

Step 17

Label product accordingly.
