Is this soft and easy to whip or does it require heating to become soft enough to whip into a lotion?

I had to melt it to whip it but even after I whipped it, it was still extremely hard

It is like all butters so it needs to be very gently heated until clear in order to add it into anything as an oil. I use it in body cream, lotion, and butters and it works like magic.

It requires heating to become soft enough to whip. It comes hard in a plastic container.

You would have to heat it up....it does have a tendency to be grainy if you don't heat it long enough...

Your going to have to melt it first but it melts at 98° so it melts rather quickly n then u can blend it with other things or leave it on its own if u wish n whip it I promise it is no pain n so luxurious mine turned out heavenly on its own its too hard to whip without melting first

the texture is solid not soft, when you apply it in your hands it warms up to be like a butter.

I have never tried to make whip cream with this product. It is pretty dense so idk. It is very yummy though. I have added it to smoothies and shakes. Sometimes I just eat it with a spoon :)

Yes it is soft, but you can still feel the massagers. Had mine until the 2nd motor quit. About 3 yrs.

You can have it without the heat as well.This travel massager was one of the best 40 dollar purchases ever It is very strong though so just lean into it less at first . I don't know if I mentioned it but you can use it in a wall or car charger it has both attachments

Yes, it is very easy to use. During cold months the product is sometimes cold during shipping which makes it harder. A few days at room temperature makes it softer and very easy to break off in the qty you want for each use.

If you want it to be warm, you can microwave it like butter. If you just want it to be melted down so you can rub into your skin or hair, all you have to do is rub it with your hands. Your body temperature will melt it pretty fast. If you want the product to be a liquid and not a solid, I would suggest storing it in a warm area in your home above 78 degrees.

I don't whip my shea butter as it takes too long--- I just warm it up with my hands and spread/rub it on my body like lotion. But I have seen some tutorials on youtube and it seems like they use a electric blender to whip the shea butter and add other essential oils to the shea butter to make it more smooth. I linked a video below. Hope I answered your question. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GkVbME7-IR0

I have used both and had the more expensive one first. It did not heat the lotion as well and if you used more than a few pumps it was cold. It quit working about a year after purchase which prompted me to purchase the lower priced model when I replaced. The lower priced one seems to be much better and keeps all the lotion nice and warm. It is easier to clean and overall I like it better. I use mine in my massage therapy practice so it gets a good workout each day. Overall I am happier with the less expensive model.

It's stiff but if you want to soften, do it gently in a double boiler. Heat will break down the properties of the shea butter if you aren't careful.

The trick is to rub it together for 20-30 second or so to get it warm then runit through the hair. You can also leave your hair damp as that helps too but you will have to rinse your hands off real good. I like it better than the pomade as its not nearly as shiny nor greasy.

I mix it with Shea Butter, Grapeseed oil, vitamin E, Almond oil and heat it in the microwave and mix it. Let it cool for a bit and add Aloe Vera Juice and in a container at least twice the volume use a stick blender and whip it. I actually put the bowl in a larger bowl of ice while I whip it so you can get the consistency of a lotion. All of the ingredients are good for the skin, it depends on how much of each as to the oiliness of it in the end. You could just melt it and add water and whip it I suppose, or maybe glycerin and aloe instead of water. I am still experimenting, but if you are a member of Pinterest there are a lot of actual recipes.

Not to me.. It's very creamy and soft, spreads easily and you don't use much.. I dab my finger in it and put a dab on each cheek and my forehead. Then I rub my neck.

heat makes it smooth, I used to put it in the palm of hand and close it, wait a few seconds and let it melt

Warming it up makes it a liquid. If it's solid, and you want to use it as a shaving lotion, you are going to have to rub it really hard to get a lot of the product on your legs. So therefore, I think a liquid would be an easier application.

Because it's the real deal, it's a hardened oil (fat) and doesn't whip-much like coconut oil at room temperature. The stuff you buy in the store has many things added to it to make it into a body lotion etc., with a creamy texture I usually melted it before use. If you hold it in your hand it will melt, or microwave it for 20 seconds at a time to soften it. I used it in hair and skin care. Be careful, the microwave heats it up fast so test it to make sure it's cool enough to apply on your skin.
