With raw shea butter, cocoa butter and a touch of coconut oil, this body butter will moisturise your skin, AND look cute on your vanity. It makes a great massage butter and leaves the skin healthy, happy and smooth.

How to make Whipped Body Butter

Ingredients:

2 Parts Raw Shea Butter
2 Parts Cocoa Butter
1 Part Coconut Oil
A Few Drops of Essential Oils or Fragrance Oils
-------
Container to store the final product
Mixer

You can make as much as you like - for yourself, your friends or even enough to sell! This is why we made the recipe in parts. If you want to use 50 grams of shea butter then use the same amount of cocoa butter and ½ as much coconut oil. You can adjust and experiment however you want.

Method:

1. Melt your shea butter, coconut oil and cocoa butter in a double boiler. You can also add your fragrance oil or essential oils at this point.
2. Once all the butters are melted and thoroughly mixed, strain it and place in the refrigerator until cool and the top begins to harden slightly.
3. Blend with a mixer on high speed for 3 - 4 minutes or longer until you get the consistency you want!
4. Once whipped, place your luscious body butter into an airtight container.

Your whipped body butter is all finished! Perfect as a gift, or just for yourself! This formula is super nourishing and perfect for dry skin. We love to use it before bed to wake up to hydrated skin. Shea Butter has so many amazing benefits! We hope you love the recipe - tag us on Facebook and Instagram when you make it!
