Materials

Body Butter Base

  • 1 cup shea butter Thick and rich base ideal for dry skin.
  • 1/2 cup coconut oil Adds slip and helps the butter melt easily.
  • 1/2 cup sweet almond oil Provides a smooth finish; can be replaced with jojoba or grapeseed oil.

Instructions

Preparation

  • Measure all ingredients using a measuring cup based on the preferred ratio.
  • Gently melt the shea butter and coconut oil in a heat-safe bowl over a pot with simmering water, stirring until just melted.
  • Remove from heat and incorporate the sweet almond oil, stirring well.
  • Cool the mixture in the fridge for about 20 to 30 minutes until slightly cloudy and thickened at the edges.
  • Whip the cooled mixture with a hand mixer until it turns lighter in color and looks fluffy.
  • Transfer the whipped body butter into a clean, dry jar with a lid.
