Servings: 8 oz
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup Shea Butter
- 1/4 cup Cocoa Butter
- 1/4 cup Coconut Oil
- 1/4 cup Sweet Almond Oil
- 17 drops Lavender Essential Oil
- 1 1/2 tsp arrowroot powder, optional
Instructions
- To make this body butter, first chop the cocoa butter into small pieces.
- Then add it to a large bowl or stand mixer with the shea butter.
- If you are using a stand mixer, use the wire whip attachment. Whip the butters on high for one minute, then decrease the speed to low and continue whipping for four minutes.
- Add the coconut oil and sweet almond oil. If adding the arrowroot powder, add it now. Whip again on high for one minute, followed by four minutes on low.
- Pour the mixture into a glass bowl and place in the fridge to chill for one hour.
- Then, return the mixture to a large bowl or stand mixer and add the essential oil.
- Whip on low for one minute, then on high for five minutes until it is light and fluffy.
- Store in an airtight jar. If located in a warmer climate, you may find that you need to store in the refrigerator. This body butter should last for up to six months.
- To Use: After bathing, apply a small amount of the body butter to your fingertips, and then gently massage the butter on your skin. Apply as needed.
