Ingredients 

Instructions 

  • Cut mango butter into small chunks.
  • Melt mango butter and coconut oil in a double boiler. I make my own double boiler by placing a bowl over a pot of boiling water.
  • After the mixture is melted together, place the bowl in the freezer until it is set up a bit. You don't want it to be solid just firm. (See picture)
  • Add carrier oil, essential oils, and arrowroot powder to the bowl.
  • Using a hand mixer or stand up mixer, whip the ingredients together.
  • Store in an airtight container.

Notes

  • I’ve included the complete step-by-step video tutorial here in the recipe card for visual reference. You can also scroll up to find step-by-step photos!
  • Be sure to use cold-pressed coconut oil in this recipe. Substituting with fractionated coconut oil will make the body butter runny and it won't whip properly.
    If your body butter is not holding its light and fluffy texture after whipping, try placing it back in the freezer for a few minutes then whipping it again. Oftentimes this can happen if the mixture is too warm.
