DIY Whipped Body Butter
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup Shea Butter
- 1/2 cup Cocoa Butter
- 1/2 Cup Coconut Oil
- 1/2 cup Fractionated Coconut Oil
- 30 drops of your choice of essential oil
- Double Boiler or Saute Pan and Glass Measuring Cup
- Hand/Stand Mixer (my favorite brand is Cuisinart)
Directions:
Measure all ingredients in a glass measuring cup.
Fill a large pan with 1-1.5 inches of water. Bring to a boil. Once boiling, add the glass jar to the center of the pan to melt and combine ingredients.
Stir every few minutes until the ingredients are completely combined (use a popsicle stick to stir for easier cleanup)
Once everything is melted, remove from heat and let sit for about 5-10 minutes. Add desired essential oils. 15 drops of Orange and 15 drops of Grapefruit were used. Then, let it rest in a cool place (such as the refrigerator) until it has set.
Once chilled, take the mixture out of fridge. With a stand or hand mixer, start on low and slowly turn the speed higher until the lotion becomes light and fluffy (around 3-5 minutes).
Store the mixture in a glass jar and keep it in a cool place.
