Homemade Body Cream
Literally full of moisture-drenching ingredients which glide on effortlessly due to a whipped consistency, discover this recipe for how to make body cream - the easy way!
Servings: 1 jar
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup of shea butter
- ¼ cup of almond oil
- 1 tsp of beeswax
- 1 tbsp of honey
- 3 drops of vitamin E oil
- 1 tbsp of arrowroot powder
- ⅛ tsp of vitamin C powder
- 10 drops of essential oils optional
Instructions
- Melt shea, beeswax & almond oil in a double boiler.
- Allow the ingredients to cool to the touch before stirring in the remaining ingredients.
- Transfer to the fridge for 2 hours to harden up. (It should be mostly firm, and you should be able to press your thumb into the middle of it and it should hold the indent)
- Whip with a hand mixer until its light and fluffy. About 2-3 minutes.
- Transfer to an airtight container for storage.
Notes
Use as often as needed.
For best results, store in a glass container or heavy-duty plastic. Lighter plastics can break down over time due to the essential oils, so it’s best to avoid using them.
If you don't have a hand mixer, this DIY will still work, but it may not have that light, fluffy texture you’d get from whipping with a mixer.
