In related embodiment, the shea butter absorbs the oils thereby giving the face and body cream composition a creamy consistency, rather than oily.
In related embodiments, the mixture can be made by whipping the ingredients, to giving it a soft, fluffy, and creamy feel. The whipping gives it a fast vortex speed which allows oxygen/air to enter the mixture, such that the mixture is aerated, which will lighten the texture and stabilize air bubbles in the mixtures. The whipping process completes the cream, without any additives, by oxygenating/aerating the face and body cream composition, such that the face and body cream composition comprises a homogenous distribution of ambient air micro bubbles, with a diameter in a range of 1-100 micrometer, and most commonly in range of 3-12 micrometer.
In related embodiments, the shea butter changes the consistency of the face and body cream composition from liquid to a solid, and makes the face and body cream composition more of a creamy moisturizer that is not oily. All of the vitamins and minerals are contained in the included oils, such that the composition is all natural with no added vitamins or minerals. It is not oily, and absorbs quickly in to the skin. The face and body cream composition must be stored in a cool place, with no exposure to high temperatures, such as over 80 degrees Fahrenheit.
In an embodiment, as illustrated in FIG. 1, a method for manufacturing a face and body cream composition 100, can include:
- a) procuring ingredients 102, wherein the ingredients comprise:
- i. Base Ingredients:
- 1) Shea butter, which can be a raw rhea butter;

- 5) Frankincense oil;
- 6) Bergamot oil; and
- 7) Camphor oil; and
- b) Mixing base ingredients 104, wherein the rhea butter, coconut oil, and cocoa butter is mixed/whipped at a first speed, which can be at a low speed setting, in a range of 50 to 150 RPM, for a first predetermined time period, which can be in a range of 30 to 180 seconds;
c) Adding secondary ingredients 106, wherein the secondary ingredients are added to the whipped base ingredients;
d) Whipping all/combined ingredients 108, wherein all/the combined ingredients are whipped/mixed at a second speed, which can be at a high speed setting, in a range of 150-400 RPM, for a second predetermined time period, which can be in range of 120 to 480 seconds, such that the ingredients are mixed and whipped to aerate the mixed ingredients, such that the ingredients after whipping form a face and body cream composition with a homogenous distribution of ambient air micro bubbles, with a diameter in a range of 1-100 micrometer; and
- e) Cooling cream composition 110, wherein the face and body cream composition is left to rest at an ambient temperature in a range of 60-72 Fahrenheit, for a third time period, which can be in a range of 30 to 240 minutes, to cool the face and body cream composition, such that the face and body cream composition changes state from a liquid form to a cream form. The face and body cream composition should then be stored with limited light exposure and at an ambient temperature in a range of 60-72 degrees Fahrenheit.
