Moisturizing Whipped Body Butter
Get your spa-like treatment at home with this DIY body butter recipe! In just minutes, you'll have an ultra-luxurious treat for your skin that's made from easy-to-find ingredients.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup of coconut oil
- ¼ cup of olive oil
- ¼ cup of shea butter
- ¼ cup of cocoa butter
- 6 drops of lavender essential oil
- 4 drops of frankincense essential oil
Instructions
- Add all the ingredients (besides essential oils) to a double boiler. Or make your own double boiler by placing a bowl over a pot of water and bringing it to a boil.
- Once the ingredients have completely melted, place the bowl in the freezer until it’s set up a bit; you should be able to press your thumb into the mixture, and it should hold an indent.
- Add essential oils.
- Finally, whip the ingredients together with a hand mixer or stand-up mixer until light and airy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Transfer to the glass jar for storage.
Notes
This body butter will last up to one year when kept dry and stored in a cool, dark place.
