Homemade Whipped Body Butter

Print Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 c. coconut oil
  • 1/4 c. olive oil extra virgin
  • 1/2 c. mango butter 4 oz.
  • 1 tsp. arrowroot powder or corn starch
  • 10 drops of your favorite essential oils optional

Instructions
 

  • Start by heating water in the lower part of your double boiler over low heat (or saucepan & mixing bowl).
  • Measure coconut oil, olive oil, and mango butter into double boiler. Continue to melt mango butter over low heat until completely melted.
  • Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Add in arrowroot powder and whisk to combine.
  • Pour oil mixture into mixing bowl and place bowl in freezer to allow it to set up. You will know it's ready when you press a finger into the mixture, and it holds an indent - mine usually takes about 30 minutes to set.
  • Add in essential oils if using. With your electric mixer, whip the ingredients together until you have a light and airy homemade body butter. Should take about 2 minutes.
  • The finished product of this homemade body butter is very rich and nourishing. A small amount goes a long way, so use sparingly.
