Step 1: Take 1 and 1/3 of Shea butter in your measuring cups and pack it in.
Optional:
You can add Crushed oatmeal or corn starch.
Optional to make it less greasy: 2 Tablespoon Corn Starch (grocery store), Tapioca Starch (grocery store), or finely milled Oatmeal which I personally prefer because it soothes irritated and itchy skin like poison ivy/oak/sumac, rashes, insect bites, and eczema. It also soothes prickly heat, chicken pox, hives or sunburn. , Optional again:
Add 1-2 TSP of your favorite scented oil. ,, (partially solidifying) ,, You will know when it forms peaks on the whisker.
When it does, its whisked enough.
The procedure is done until and unless you don't want to color it. , -
Step 2: Now empty the measured Shea butter into the Pyrex glass cup to melt the butter.
, And add the same amount i.e 1/2 or 1 TSP color to each slot and whisk it. , If you want Yellow to be the up-most layer do so.
