Yields: 2 (8 oz.) jars (+ a bit extra)
Ingredients:
- ¼ cup mango butter
- ¼ cup shea butter
- ¼ cup coconut oil
- ⅛ cup argan oil
- ⅛ cup sesame seed oil
- ½ tsp vitamin E oil
- 20-25 drops essential oils (optional) - try one of our blends
Directions:
- Melt the Butters: In a double boiler, melt the mango butter and shea butter together. Once the butters are almost fully melted, add the coconut oil, argan oil, and sesame oil into the mix.
- Remove from Heat: Once the mixture is fully liquid, remove it from the heat and dry the bottom of the pot to ensure no water gets into the oils.
- Add Vitamin E & Essential Oils: Whisk in the vitamin E oil and any essential oils (if using).
- Cool in the Fridge: Place the mixture in the fridge for 2-3 hours, or until it has completely solidified. (This step is essential for the whipping process to work.)
- Whip to Perfection: Once solid, use an electric mixer to beat the mixture on medium-high speed for about 10 minutes. Scrape the sides of the bowl periodically until the body butter resembles whipped cream.
- Spoon & Store: While the mixture is still warm, use a spatula to transfer it into your 8 oz. jars. Label and store in a cool, dry place.
Tips for Perfect Whipped Body Butter:
Essential Oils: Choose skin-safe essential oils that promote relaxation, uplift the mood, or offer added skin benefits.
Storage: Store your body butter at room temperature to maintain its fluffy consistency. If stored in a cooler environment, the texture may harden.
Customizing Scent & Texture: Feel free to customize the essential oil blend to suit your preferences, or add a few drops of your favorite fragrance for a personalized touch.
