Equipment
- Glass Bowl
- saucepan
- Handheld mixer
- Glass mason jars (for storage)
Ingredients
- ½ cup mango butter
- ½ cup shea butter
- 4 tablespoons jojoba oil
- ½ teaspoon vitamin E oil
- 15 drops essential oils optional
- 1 tablespoon arrowroot powder optional
Instructions
- Add both shea and mango butter to a heat-resistant glass bowl. Place the glass bowl over a saucepan with an inch or two of water. Heat over medium heat until the butters are melted.
- Once melted, allow the bowl to cool slightly before placing it in the freezer for 5 minutes or until it sets up. You don't want it to be completely solid. It is ready when you can press your thumb into the ingredients; if it holds the imprint, then it is the right texture. Remove bowl from the freezer.
- Add jojoba oil, vitamin E oil, and essential oils.
Using a hand mixer, whip the ingredients together until soft peaks form. - If using arrowroot powder, add that in now. Continue whipping for an additional 1-2 minutes.
- Transfer cream to an airtight container for storage.
