HOW TO MAKE WHIPPED BODY BUTTER WITH LAVENDER ESSENTIAL OIL
Many Christmases ago I was gifted a body butter by a well-known handmade company. And I was absolutely blown away by just how fluffy this stuff was. I’m talking chocolate mousse, whipped cream or puffy cloud fluffy. It was that amazing.
My goal was to come up with my own body butter recipe and recreate said “body mousse” at a fraction of the price. And when I looked at the ingredients it really didn’t seem that hard to do.
MATERIALS
TOOLS
INSTRUCTIONS
Into a glass container measure your cocoa butter and apricot kernel oil
Heat in microwave using 20 second bursts or in a water bath until cocoa butter is just melted (Caution: container will be very hot at that point)
Let cocoa butter mixture cool down until warm NOT hot to the touch (~ 100° F/ 38° C)
Measure out your Shea butter and cut it into small chunks with a knife add it into a small deep bowl
Start whipping the Shea butter at room temperature with a stand or hand mixer until it appears white, fluffy and smooth (no more chunks), scrape down sides with a spatula as needed
Little by little add your melted cocoa butter mixture, thoroughly whipping with a mixer after each addition. You really want to add as little as possible each time, if you add too much at once you could end up with a puddle.
