Whipped Body Butter

I have tried two other body butter recipes, which I liked, but I still found that my skin cracked in some places due to the extremely cold weather we have been having in Chicago.  For this recipe I will be trying a different process and ingredients:

Ingredients:

• 4oz Shea Butter
• 3oz Mango Butter
• 2 Tbsp Aloe Vera Gel
• 1 tbsp Castor Oil
• 1tsp Jojoba Oil
• 1 tsp Grapeseed Oil
• 1 tsp Vitamin E Oil
• EO of choice
• 1% Optiphen (preservative)

Instructions:

1. Measure out butter using scale
2. Soften Butters in Microwave on low heat  for 10-30 seconds or using a double boiler
3. Place butters in bowl and whip with your mixer on high for 5 minutes
4. Add EO to carrier oil of choice and mix
5. Add preservative(s) of choiceand mix
6. Place Whipped Shea butter in clean jar

I have to admit this mix is very thick, but dries non-greasy on skin.  A little goes a long way!


Enjoy!!
