Equipment
- Glass Jar for storage
Ingredients
- ¼ Cup Carrier Oil or Infused Oil
- ¼ Cup Cocoa Butter
- ¼ Cup Shea Butter
- ¼ Cup Coconut Oil
- 2 TBSP Colloidal Oatmeal
- 5 Drops Essential Oil
Instructions
- Combine the carrier oil, shea butter, coconut oil and cocoa butter in a microwaveable jug and heat for 30 seconds at a time in the microwave until the butters have completely melted. Stir in between each heat burst.
- This process could also be done in a double boiler.
- Place in the fridge for about 45 minutes, until the mixture is quite firm.
- Remove from the fridge and add the essential oils, if using.
- Add the colloidal oatmeal and stir through. You can use a mixer to whip it if you prefer. If you do whip it, the mixture will double in size, so allow for this when getting your glass jar ready.
- Transfer the whipped body butter to the glass jar.
- Keep the body butter in a cool, dry place and use as needed.
