Materials

Main ingredients

  • 50 g Mango butter The tropical base, creamy but not too heavy.
  • 30 g Sweet almond oil Softens and helps with spreadability.
  • 20 g Coconut oil Optional: adds richness and a slightly firmer set when cooler.
  • 5 to 12 drops Essential oils Optional for scent, ensure skin safety.

Instructions

Preparation

  • Melt mango butter (and coconut oil if using) in a double boiler on low heat until just melted.
  • Remove from heat and stir in the sweet almond oil. Wait to add essential oils until the mixture cools slightly.
  • Let the mixture cool until it thickens slightly to a loose pudding consistency.
  • Whip the mixture with a hand mixer or whisk until it becomes pale and fluffy.
  • Transfer the whipped body butter into clean, sanitized jars and allow it to set at room temperature.

Notes

Storage: Keep in a cool, dark place. Use airtight containers to maintain freshness. Avoid water to prevent spoilage. If you live in a hot climate, consider refrigerating it for a refreshing application post-shower.
